Speaking of food, zucchini seems to really

[lazyphoque]

It's the damn gardeners (myself included). Suddenly you have to figure out what to do with 78 of them that ripen in two days.

Zucchini is the new black.

[pantsparty]

My Google Reader is full of zucchini recipes.

lol, there is a zucchini vine growing up the block from me out of the curb. I was tempted to pull all of the blossoms off of it because I love stuffed zucchini blossoms and then I realized it's probably covered in dog pee and other nastiness. It's no one's vine, it's just grown there.

A neighbor makes the BEST chocolate cake with zucchini in it. It doesn't taste a THING like zucchini, but it apparently has lots of zucchnini in it. I'll nab the recipe and share.

I feel like zucchini always gets a lot of press in the summer, lol. That shit takes over the garden!

[hubes]

All of mine died. I'd kill for some garden produce right now. Damn the drought.

[pantsparty]

I feel like the word zucchini is now losing all meaning to me.

Zucchini zucchini zucchini.

Seriously, I pick like 3 zucchinis a day. I'm so fucking sick of zucchini. Grilled, fried, zucchini bread, ratatoullie..get it the fuck out of here.

[broc]

Because zucchini is delicious and cheap, and the RECESSION doncha know.

I don't get doing zucchini bread though. Just eat it.

I tried zucchini pancakes the other night.

Don't.

When we came back from vacation last summer it was like Attack of the Killer Zucchini. They were as big as my arm. Freakish!

Yeah, that sounds awful. Zucchini bread is good, though.

MMM! I love this! Minus the dog pee. The key is to pick the blossoms first thing in the morning, while they're wide open. That way you can pick out any bugs. I stuff them with a lobster stuffing, then dip in egg batter and fry. Even dog pee couldn't make that taste bad.

omg lobster stuffing mmmmmmmmmmmm

These are super tasty if they're more like latke-style pancakes. Strips of zucchini in runny batter is gross.

You think you are going to get amazing fried potato pancake replacements and then you get zucchini.

[LauraMoser]

I eat zucchini a lot every summer. My MIL makes a mean chocolate chip zucchini bread. YUM. I haven't noticed it being any more popular this year than last. But yeah, if you grow it, you end up with a shit load of the stuff so you start getting creative.

I love it fried the best though. With HFCS ketchup, on a nice, soft, store bought white roll.

The recipe picture looked like latkes.

I was totally drawn in. I feel like it could be a good recipe if we weren't stuffing zucchini in pancake batter. Like maybe a wee bit of egg and the zucchini? IDK. I'm scared now.

See? You all feel me. Why didn't I leave PCE before? lol

try zucchini fritters maybe - using ricotta and grated zucchini and bread crumbs, bit of egg, lemon zest

My MIL made a chocolate zucchini cake tihs weekend and it was disgusting.

We do. Even if I do eat moderately overpriced seeds occasionally.

Oh this better be yum because it sounds like it could be yum.

Can you feed dogs zucchini pancakes?

You can try.

I have to. I'm sitting on a pile of these nasty buggers and we aren't into clay pigeon shooting.

[statlerwaldorf]

I planted one pack of zucchini seeds and ended up with something like 2 dozen zucchini plants. It was insane. I'm so sick of zucchini.
