Zuchinni soup

Zuchinni a-graten
I guess that's about it.
Hmmmm. I forgot to plant zuchinni.
(And now I am good at spelling it)
Yeah, depending on how many you are feeding and how much you can give away, only plant like 4-6 plants.
Little ones, slice and sautee with onion, shrooms, shrimp.
Use instead of cukes in bread and butter pickles.
Shred, blanche and freeze in 2 cup portions for making zucchini bread in Feb.
Zucchini casserole---cooked burger, catsup, blanched sliced zucchini, dehydrated onion, cheese. Bake til brown and bubbly. Watch honey and kids scarf it all up.
You will have huge zucchini that either spring up overnight or you miss at the base of the plant. No matter how vigilant you are , it will happen. You can scoop and stuff them, like a stuffed pepper, or the baseball idea is good! Personally those are the ones that go to the chickens. My birds can't get enough zucchini. Or my horses. I imagine the goats won't turn their noses up at it either.

Well, I'll have to plant some tomorrow and see what happens. If worst comes to worse, I should be able to give them away. The birds are nit-picky, they only want to eat bugs, oatmeal that the kids didn't finish and their feed. Maybe if I withhold feed all day then offer extra zuch, lol.

Where I grew up, what you did with zucchini was put them in a pile by the end of your driveway with a sign that says "Free". Of course, since everybody overplanted and did the same thing, you eventually had to do something else with them, like zucchini baseball or giving them to your kids to practice jack-o-lantern designs...

I dehydrate them and use them all year long in soups and stews.
