Re: recipe for Zucchini Loaf

 
well, YUM!

we had an unexpectedly bumper crop of zucchini this summer & since i only
know one (1) zucchini recipe, it got frankly tragic as time went on. (bloody
zucchini bake 3 times a week for a while there :-) fortunately the frost
came along & killed the plants, just as we were at the point of utter
despair ;-)

this summer shall be much better - i have two recipes now <g>

There is no such thing as an *unexpectedly* bumper crop of zucchini!  You just
need to remember to only plant one plant.

I'm going to grow 'Early White' squash again this year -- or, as I prefer to
call them, flying saucer squash.

aaaaahhhhhh! you will be my salvation, chookie <g>

to be fair to myself, though, i was just trying to err on the side of
avoiding total failure - i.e. no, or not enough, zucchini. i must say, in
all my vegetable endeavours, it seems to be feast or famine! i will get the
balance right eventually, i know (when i'm about 92).


my Exciting New Squash (in general, i loathe them bar pumpkin & zucchini &
avoid them like the plague ;-) this year will be spaghetti squash. i'm quite
excited, because i just can't _imagine_ it, iyswim. so that will be fun.
less fun, i'm somewhat resigned to either having them coming out my ears, or
loving them but finding there just aren't enough. <g>

good point, and this is one of my battles - i have trouble "thinning" for
success & removing the strugglers, although i know i should. i tend to let
them linger pointlessly on until competition or lack of vigour does them in
for me - it's daft, i know. it comes from my waste-no-want-not mindset, but
it's genuinely counterproductive.

in a case where you've bought 8 (or whatever) baby plants where you really
wanted fewer but had no choice, it's doubly difficult & is truly a waste if
none of them are duds or strugglers, & no friends or family want to take the
spares.

what you clearly need is a recipe incorporating rhubarb and zucchini <g>
