Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for February 26, 2025

He’s in quite a pickle.

Just stay away from the eggplants…

Cucumbers might be cool, but zucchini makes all the bread.

I like their little booties

Came into the kitchen in grad school and found my apartment mate at work. I asked her what she was doing. She replied she was making a zucchini dish for her boy friend. I asked why she was peeling cucumbers.

She was brilliant in the classroom… In the kitchen? Not so much.

They’re in a pickle!

I’ll bet the zucchini wears white socks with sandals in the summer.

Years ago, I recall a friend of mine attending a zucchini festival. Among other things, he came away with a bumper sticker that declared “No Cucus!”

Once you’ve been pickled, you can never be a cucumber again.

Some like to get pickled. I like to get fried, man. Who’s got the oregano?

(Being) cool is overrated.

They’re just gherkin him around.

He had aspirations to be cool, but they’ve been squashed.

Especially if they’re the Burpless or Diva variety.

I believe I went to Zucchini on vacation years ago.

I make a very good vegetarian lasagna using either zucchini or eggplant.

They do have slimmer waists, so I’m going to have to try that diet

It’s not that big of a dill.

It’s just a matter of weight shift….cacutze

This sort of leaves the zucchini in a pickle…..

In fact, you’ll one day be abandoned on a neighbor’s porch.

In a few days, Mr. Zuke, you’ll be big enough to pound them to pulp!

Of course, that might be a perilous course of action for yourself, too.

Hanging out with zucchinis is not their bread and butter.

He’ll still be pickled.
