Ratatouille numerous ways~zucchini flower recipes~zucchini races!~wine festivals~wine making trivia~what we’re reading by Melissa Clark and by John Grisham
I'm definitely a member of the cook-the-vegetables-separately camp. I often turn to the oven and roast them as well, although I have also grilled the vegetables. I think it is important to salt the zucchini and eggplant prior to cooking because this practice really helps in preventing these sponge-like vegetables from sopping up too much oil - especially annoying in ratatouille.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I have some more ways to make my zucchini go go... :)
Unless one has a very large family, I would suggest ONE plant... I've been eating zucchini daily and giving away a bunch of them, too... I will certainly miss them soon enough.
I always leave one monster zucchini growing on the vine until the first frost, which will become a Dachshund dog for halloween. :)
I'm not joking! My mother-in-law gave me a kit a few years ago that includes metal pieces with spikes that hold them onto the zucchini - head, tail, and four feet. It's super cute!. I'll post a picture in a few weeks. :)

I just read about the Great Zucchini Race - that is the cutest thing ever!
Great information Wayne. I planted acorn squash this year and had flowers, but no fruit. I had high hopes as the plants grew so very quickly!
Interesting article...thanks!
