The world needs more humor. And am also struggling with Zuchini overload and have thus been creating Zuchini recipies. This is because I was traumatized by having to eat too much meat and potatoes as a child and will not throw out anything green that is vaguely edible. So here they are: Three course meal featuring ZUCHINI. Zuchini Slaw Cut whatever chunks of zuchini you have available into sizes appropriate for your food processor. Process. Not too much, you don't want it to get mushy. Add one tablespoon of vinegar ( I use white) and a teaspoon or less of salt. Mix all around and put in frig for awhile, a few hrs or overnight. Drain off the salt and vinegar and if you just like it crunchy you can eat it that way or add mayo if you like it more like slaw, or oil and make it light. Slice fresh tomatoes (which I suspect you also have an overabundance0 and lay slaw on top or next to it. Second course: Zuchini Chicken Curry Fried Steak. Three or four large "Zucs" steaks. These are large thick slices of large thick Zuchinis. Coat in flour with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp of salt. Fry in 3 or 4 Tblspns of oil or fat. Bacon is good, but vegans may prefer olive, etc. Don't make heat too hot. Start hot and then to medium heat. When both sides are well browned, remove from pan(10 min. each sidee??) and add 1 or 2 tblspns additional flour to pan, stir until smooth and add curry powder to taste. Add chicken broth (1/2 cup or so)Make a smooth thin gravy. Place zuchini in serving dish and pour grav over. Chop up something green and garnish. Third course: Zuchini mochi (I'm still working on this.) Yours partly serious and partly silly, Aunt Carol I actuall do cook this and eat it. The slaws especially good.

Zuchini Slaw

Cut whatever chunks of zuchini you have available into sizes appropriate for your food processor. Process. Not too much, you don’t want it to get mushy. Add one tablespoon of vinegar ( I use white) and a teaspoon or less of salt. Mix all around and put in frig for awhile, a few hrs or overnight.

Let me know if you need someone to sit on that porch with you and swig beer. I'm *still* trying to figure out what I'm gonna do to get paid. Sigh.
