Pickles by Brian Crane for October 18, 2024

Earl almost said the same thing that many others were thinking.

When does the garbage truck come?

Invite all your friends over for a feast, and prepare togo boxes for everyone

Earl almost stepped in it.

I have a great way to fix zucchini. First you peel it… and throw the peel into the compost. Then you cut it in half lengthwise, and take out the seeds… and throw the seeds into the compost. Then you cut the halves into 1/2 inch cubes (approximately)… and throw the cubes into the compost.

Then you order in.

hmmm⠄⠄⠄ Ⅰ wonder

I’m sure there’s a charity that would love to get all that zucchini. Meanwhile, cheer up, Earl. Things could be worse. Opal could have served you canned veg instead. Or – she could have asked YOU to make dinner for a change…

At least they are not going to waste!

Make lots of zucchini bread and freeze it. Throw it out next year when you plant zucchini again.

Pickles is running on zucchini strips!

Zucchini are often feast (a ton) or famine (none). Here the deer, squirrels, rabbits, voles and etc. assure you can’t grow much of anything.

With me it is yellow pole beans every year. I eat tons for 2 or 3 months and then I’m done for the year.

Earl, you old dog! You’re not dead yet!

Zucchini actually is my hubbie’s favorite veggy. We are down now to kind of a muffin dough with grated zucchini, grated onions, grated cheese, grated almonds as a substitute for flour. Then throw the batter in a caserole anf bake it. His new favorite. – I have to admit that we mostly cook different things for each of us :-/

Those all sound delicious! They could be frozen and saved for later!

Just an idea, but maybe plant something else next year.

Yeah…….. I HEAR YA.!!!!!

Here i thought he was into sausage stuffing.
