Holy Zucchini!

August 20th:

"Holy Zucchini Mom!"

I decided to measure this mammoth zucchini, and the girls were excited to be a part of it. Never mind the sewing tape - it's always available, and it's what I use to measure things (like this too).

Over 16" in length...

...and 15" in circumference

Mary-Gail's little hand stretched across the neck of the zucchini

A gal from Tony's work has been sharing her garden harvests with us, and with each "delivery" of zucchini, squash, green beans, and snap peas, we've had many-a-good-fixin's in the kitchen. She sent home this zucchini with Tony, included a recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Cake, and requested a sample of the cake after I made it.

I thought that was so cute - to include a recipe (one she'd had, but never made herself) and request a sample. So, I made the Chocolate Zucchini Cake, and it was delicious!

Mmmmm, yummy!
