I'm off to grate zucchini in my food processor to make loads of zucchini bread. Do you all have any zucchini recipes for when your garden starts producing loads? If not, I'll just saute whatever I have left with garlic and onion and pop it in the freezer for later.

No but I hope someone else does. I have tons of yellow squash already and just picked our first two zucchini yesterday.

I'm going to search the net for ideas because I did about 15 pretty large zucchini with garlic and onion for the freezer and I yielded about 9 cups!

I also made loads of cucumber salad because with all the vinegar in it the stuff lasts forever. Any of you have any good pickle recipes? Soon I will have loads of cucumbers and it's been about 2-3yrs since I made pickles.

Hey Good afternoon everyone. Isn't today gorgeous!!

Today sucks! The heat index was 104 earlier! Last I looked it was 102! It just rained for about 3 minutes really hard and now it feels even worse outside

ok I some stuff...

ZUCCHINI STICKS: Cut the ends of the zucchini off and peel the zucchini using a potato peeler. The reason for peeling the zucchini is to get the breading to stick to all sides. Cut the zucchini into 2 inch sections. If you have an apple corer/slicer, use it the same as you would with an apple to remove the core and create wedges of zucchini. If you do not have one, simply cut each section into wedges approximately 3/4 inch thick and slice off the larger seed section. Moisten the zucchini in water and then bread with a combination of cornmeal, salt and pepper. Lay the breaded zucchini onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper or a paper towel. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer and allow the sticks to freeze. Once they are frozen, place them in freezer bags labeled with the date. When preparing to use them later, deep fry until golden brown. You do not need to thaw them first.

well they screwed up my paycheck, as usual.

I worked 80.5 hours and they paid me 79.7, because one day I took a 45 min lunch break instead of 60, and they not only didn't pay me those 15 min, they took the 15 extra min off my paycheck.

Not only that, they didn't add my 30 min OT.
