<There is something called "malicious zucchini giving." You leave a huge overgrown zucchini on someone's doorstep, ring the bell, and run away.Then they have to decide what to do with it.>

Ahhhhh... so that's what you call it...

We used to have an elderly couple living at the next farm down the road. Very nice people with a prolific garden. One Saturday we happened to drop the little tidbit of information that the hogs that we were raising just loved to eat the overgrown zucchini from our garden. We arrived home from work on the Monday night only to find 5 big cardboard boxes full of the things... some of them about 2 feet long... looking rather like dark green whales... From then on, we were a little more cautious about divulging classified information... ;-}

Sorry to hear that I am now the imperfect woman. *Sigh.* The story of my life. Zucchini remind me of merlitons, they are a perfect excuse for a really great sauce, because they have no flavor of their own. But in that same vein I prefer cucumbers for eating raw and eggplant as a base for the really great sauce, they do have flavor. But chacun a son gout. Sorry about the lack of accent marks, please imagine them in the right places.
