I love chocolate zucchini muffins, maybe I'll make a batch tomorrow.  I'm going to try and see if I can stomach some fresh too, it is a lot of zucchini to freeze and there is more to come!  I'm already having to freeze from broccoli because it all came at once and it needed to be harvested because otherwise it flowers.  

oh wow I've never had chocolate and zucchini together, for sure  But I do like both things. how do they taste together?

My kids love to eat that fresh too. Broccoli never really lasts long enough to freeze. For some reason my kids love the stuff. 

I only eat zucchini as chocolate muffins or loaf So I do freeze a lot of it to get my fix through the year. 

 

Ok posting egg pics soon.

Seriously amazing in a baked good.  I'm pretty picky about random additions (I hate banana and lemon in bread), so that is a ringing endorsement.

We ate a lot of broccoli for a while, but the Dane has kind of gone off it, so it feels like a waste buying even a whole head for what we eat.

I've had green salsa with zucchini and I loved it, it added a nice creamy texture/substitution for actual milk's cream, but i've never tried mixing it with chocolate  I'll definitely give it a go!

why the banana and lemon hate? heh I love banana bread and key lime cheesecake.

The brown egg is from Camille it weighs 1.7 oz , the small white egg's are 0.7 and todays egg is 0.8 oz from Cream. The large white egg is a ceramic egg I keep in the nest boxes and you can see the difference in size. 

 

The eggs will be a bit bigger later on.

if they ever returned everything at the same time, I couldn't fit all that stuff back into the house...

I'm like a free rent-a-center to them.

Are all these people related to you by blood or marriage, huh man?

If not, have them arrested for theft and perhaps trespassing, consider it man.

Mrs. T-B. & Mini-B. rested all day, tired she & wee man.

Mrs. T-B. said that she slept "a lot," zzz she man.

She said that Mini-B. watched Roku and played on his little tablet.

About Many (2+2) p.m., he fell sound asleep, on our side of the bed man.

It is now Many (2x2x2+2+1) p.m., and he has barely stirred, major zzz wee man.

The nonstop exhaustion of the trip has probably caught up with him, poor little wee man.

[TBoneTX 45,309]

Per the above, we napped in the guest room, first time in some time man.

Cat energetically joined us, return to previous routine miu man.

Cat has been like lap-fungus ever since, affectionate miu man.

[TBoneTX 45,309]

Mrs. T-B. is admittedly extremely happy to be back at the casa, Ecu no longer for she man.

She said, "I love you so much and will never leave you," quoth she man.

"Do you really mean this?" asked we of she man.

"Si, I do," said she man.

We began sobbing inconsolably and put our finger-gun to our head.

[TBoneTX 45,309]

We just realized that we forgot the Saturday GS report, belatedly see man:

 

There were fewer GSs & ESs this week than last week, but far better ones, relief man.

The take, see man:

-- 2 books for Mini-B. = half a buck, deal man

-- 2 books for Mini-B.; Nautica tie; Calvin Klein tie = $Many ($2+1), steal man

-- mostly full bottle of hand-sanitizer; large unopened bottle of baby oil = buck-&-a-half, steal man

-- toucans of tuna, Many (2+2) cans of French-style green beans, full can wasp/hornet spray = $2-&-a-half, steal man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2-half a buck), steal man

Mrs. T-B. hasn't done full reconnaissance but seems complimentary of our casa-cleaning efforts, accepting she man.

[TBoneTX 45,309]

Mini-B. still deep-zzz-ing on our side of the bed, deep-zzz wee man.

Mrs. T-B. audibly zzz-ing on her side of the bed, zzz she man.

How exhausting their trip must have been for both of them, let them zzz man.

Cat prep zzz-we-somewhere man.

Mornin', babes with suddenly re-hoarded +1 inventories!
