I haven't given in to the tempation of growing it yet, but I do have a bad habit of finding a zucchni recipe and thinking this could be THE ONE that makes me love it. Of course it never is! My family raises such a fuss now anytime I try to cook that I think I've finally "learned."Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157547904352718088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-78904598237614712922008-06-18T17:18:00.000-04:002008-06-18T17:18:00.000-04:00I can see that they would just dissolve in soup so...I can see that they would just dissolve in soup so that would be a good way to use them at the end of summer when I tend to make lots of soups.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-69710727586577997022008-06-18T15:07:00.000-04:002008-06-18T15:07:00.000-04:00I love them cut in pieces,tossed in olive oil and ...I love them cut in pieces,tossed in olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar and roasted in the oven. <BR/>The trick is never to let zucchini grow to big (no more than 5 inches long)otherwise you'll be overwhelmed once they really start producing. At that point I find making soup is the only answer:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-23840072912451543482008-06-17T19:22:00.000-04:002008-06-17T19:22:00.000-04:00I'm actually looking forward to zucchini bread.

If zucchini lives up to its name, I'll have a million chances to try it different ways.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-85212938755246284612008-06-16T20:39:00.000-04:002008-06-16T20:39:00.000-04:00I actually love zucchini, but I can relate. I do ...I actually love zucchini, but I can relate. I do not like peppers very much, but I keep trying to like them. I've convinced myself that I like red, yellow and orange and just not green ones. I"m not sure that this is true. I think that I want to like them, so I've convinced myself of this...anyway, my favorite way to eat zucchini is in place of spaghetti. I eat it with tomato sauce and meatballs. Zucchini bread is wonderful and really the best option when the zucchini gets out of control at the height of the summer.archivesinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173735671172866919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-83873376091524077952008-06-16T18:10:00.000-04:002008-06-16T18:10:00.000-04:00Loved the "what would you like to drink?" anecdote...Loved the "what would you like to drink?" anecdote. I think it's hilarious that you had to force yourself to drink tea to keep your friends (or your kids' friends) happy.<BR/><BR/>I never especially liked zucchini either, but I've become a convert. I'll eat them in omlettes (chopped small and sauteed w. other vegies first) and one of our favorite veggie dishes is assorted sauteed vegetables--just about any two or three (or four) from a list that includes zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, red onion, carrot, and red pepper. We usually season them with thyme, or oregano, or summer savory along with salt and pepper. And if any of those zucchinis do get away from you and grow to be as long as your arm--zucchini bread. With chocolate chips, if you really want to disguise the stuff.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy yours--<BR/>Katethemanicgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750985315536912324noreply@blogger.com
