I like watching the Zuchs and the Gold Rush, which is pretty much the same thing, diff color. I like taking pictures of them. I enjoy the way the light plays on them. Their huge leaves block the sun from their large liquid filled stems. The flowers are pretty, but, under each short lived bloom a fruit begins. I like checking them and seeing how they get big. They grow with a purpose, the stems are hardy and the way they spread out, allowing in only so much light, is really pretty amazing. From dappled to blinding. Anyway, I'm going to have some for dinner, I have to pick them before they get too big. I think I'll make a stir fry. At the end of Summer I'll bet I find a few giants that have hidden in there. And I keep taking their picture. Zucchini's make good subjects. I think everyone should grow one even if you don't like eating them. They make a garden look good. They make a gardener look like he/she knows more and does more than they actually do.

Have you ever cooked Zuch's with steak sauce? Man, that's good. I cut them into thick chunks,I don't peel them. Then I fry them over med heat in a little veg oil and cover them with steak sauce. When they start to get tender they soak it all up and man, they are yummy. I like fresh mushrooms in there too. It's the best side dish ever.

Just dont forget to pick them before they get too big. The only good ones are the slender new ones. Sounds good. Like a free steak dinner w/o the steak! I usually bread them yp, unpeeld also, like a fried green tomato and fry them. Fattening! But I love it.

They're still good after they get big, it's just that you have to peel them then and that sucks. Best to eat then little, huu? I never bread them. I know most people do, but, I like my steak sauce method. I do the stir fry the same way, but, add more veggies. I always make enough to eat on it for a couple of days.
Oh, and Dollar General makes a real good copy of A1 for only a dollar. I always keep that on hand.
I never have lucky with squash or zucchini. I think my problem is the squirrels.
Really? I haven't had a critter problem yet, but, I notice my neighbors have chewed off corn stalks. I think the raccons think their corn is an easier target since they're the ones that used that landscape fabric.
mmmm I LOVE zucchini! My favorite is fried (either battered or breaded both are good) and topped with some shaved parmesean chees and dipped in ranch or marinara sauce. Or zucchini bread. My husbands grandma makes the best and gives us like 4 loaves to freeze...yeah right. They don't even make it a week. Let a lone a couple days. I'll eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. So good!
god now i'm starving, ohhh deep fried zucchini flowers!!

I've never eaten the flowers. How do you do it? Do you bread them?
I can't make bread, my oven is broken. I hate calling to get it fixed, you know, I hate having to make polite conversation and I hate cleaning the house... like cleaning under the stove, you know damn well, they'll have to move it out. It's such a pain in the ass, so I keep putting it off. Agg. I'll do it befor apple season though. I won't miss apple treats. I live for those. I think about them all winter.
just a little cornstarch, water, seasoning. deepfry, delish

Thanks Kim.
Why is crabbie spamming you?
He was INVITING us, and I appreciated it. I didn't have time to go though, my daughter is visiting.
