Latest was cream soup with polish sausage, zucchini, yellow squash, corn. It was really good. And we picked a bunch more large zucchinis last night. I will probalby have to give a few away again.
Well, there's this...
Now that's funny!!
Hey, good idea, use the zucchini for target practice....

Our Siamese is no more high strung that most cats I've had. Then again, she won't hunt zucchini with me either.
This is right after we brought her home from the SPCA, freshly spayed.

AND hunting in the garden where the zucchini were planted. Trail cam picture.

Grilled zucchini last night. Apparently they can get much bigger than I thought before the seeds are problematic.
I also grated some up and baked zucchini brownies. I made them too thick and didn't cook long enough. I ended up having to scoop the gooey mess onto plates and microwaving a minute and a half to finish them up. Still tasted pretty good.

Err sorry, my thoughts just went to the gutter... But, the zucchini bowls do sound like a good way to eat them. Saw a recipie for chocolate zucchini bread online if that sounds good.

Wifey makes a really good zucchini stew. We use it on the big ones that get the hard skin syndrome. She literally just made a batch yesterday. Tomato based with corn, onion, ground beef, banana peppers.

That sounds good. We usually wait until the cool weather to make soups and stews. Once in a while I'll make a special soup if the family really wants it.
If you have a recipe for that stew, I'll gladly try it here.
