Dear Zucchini,

For the love of God, stop. In July, I appreciated your abundance--and I think I showed it with a double batch of zucchini bread and THREE separate chocolate zucchini cakes. In August, I still thought you were a nice addition and included you in everything, did I not? I have made zucchini patties, zucchini soup (which is really a mistake in the summer), zucchini salsa, sauteed zucchini--I even put you on pizza. I have bags of shredded zucchini in the freezer, and currently there's ANOTHER batch of zucchini bread in the refrigerator waiting to be baked in the morning. I have zucchini in the dehydrator and just this afternoon I made zucchini-ginger marmalade.
That's it--I have no more ideas. For the love of everything that's green and vegetative, GO AWAY!!!!!

If nothing else, these zucchinis have certainly got your imagination working hard. I do hope they let you get on with something else soon.........

didn't you put fertilizer on the zucchini this year? Something to remember for next year, at least!

I have a great recipe for pasta with zucchini. It has a creamy sauce which satisfies my occasional craving for Alfredo, but it doesn't hold near the potential for a heart attack. I think there's a half-cup of cream in the entire recipe. It uses a fair amount of zucchini and doesn't take long to make it - if you're interested I'll be glad to email you the recipe.
