It finally rained! We've now had rain TWICE since we moved to Olympia. I know there'll be a lot more starting in fall, but I was pretty happy to have a rainy day this week.
We got corn on the cob and watermelon in the CSA box this week. : ) We were very excited about both of those. Less excited, though, about more zucchini. Who even likes the stuff? Does anyone out there have ideas on how to use it in something other than zucchini bread (with or without chocolate)? Zucchini pickels were a bust. Steve googled 'what to do with zucchini' and came up with a recipe for zucchini and onion 'pie'...and it looks pretty good, but was just ok. Certainly not good enough to make again without tweaking a bunch of things (like less zucchini and more...anything else...for the filling, which totally defeats the purpose). I've taken our surplus zucchini and grated it, then put it in the freezer. The only other thing I can think of is a big batch of spaghetti sauce with grated zucchini in it along with a bunch of other veggies.
The watermelon was YELLOW inside! Whoa, cool. It is really good too.
I like zucchini! ;) Put it on salads. Saute it and eat it up! Grill it. Or, best of all: chocolate zucchini cake!
