Pickles by Brian Crane for November 07, 2009

I thought the only thing you could make out of zucchini was bread or cookies.

Opal sure knows how to ruin a meal.

Sauteed zucchini and summer squash is wonderful… unless someone compares the initial fruit (if it has seeds, it’s technically a fruit) to one of the least appetizing body parts. They also go in soups and other dishes. I use a lot of them!

that’s the trouble with an overactive imagination… better give it to the neighbors

There is a great zucchini chocolate cake recipe. It nearly disguised zucchini enough to get it past my children.

What to do with all those Zucchini? Yumm! Ratatouille - my favorite end of the growing season from my garden delight: From Epicurious which uses 4 zuchini’s & I make it with homegrown tomatoes & eggplant. Serve with Wine & some crusty home baked bread - C’est Magnifique!

Ratatouille Recipe

Ratatouille is one of my favorites too.

Lots to do with zucchini, I usually chop it and fry it in butter but you can put it in soups and zucchini bread.

..turn it into bread…

Hey, my snake loves Rat! He’ll skip the atouille, though.

There hundreds of good recipes and stewing is not one of them.

I thought zucchinis were gourds. They told us in biology that gourds are their own classification, outside fruits or vegetables.

Oh, my gourd!!!

She’s ready & willing to slaughter a ”penguin-cchini”, but ”colon-cchini” is OUT!?!

Oh well - just fry up some yummy

sweetbreads & chitlins!!!

I think I’d pass on the stewed zucchini regardless of what it looked like…

I also love ratatouille, I include mushrooms, onions, garlic and strips of bell pepper, any color, with the zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes. Near the end of baking I sprinkle with Parmesan/Romano and mozzarella. Y-U-M-M-Y-!

Hey StradMan37, comments quite humorous!!
