(personal/writing) Drowning...

[vg_ford]

I'm drowning in zucchini. :p Seriously. Anyone coming to writers group tomorrow want some?

I'm glad folks like the little snippet I posted from what I thought would be the beginning of the new book, but I'm not using it. Yes, I'm being indecisive. I'm going back to the original beginning, because I realized I was fretting about nothing. If I start getting rejections saying "Starts too slow," THEN I'll look at changing it.

Tonight, it's Red Sox vs. Yankees (yay!) and I...

am writing.

Yes, yes I am. There will be much writing done, once I post the crit I did today. Oh, and making zucchini bread. LOTS of zucchini bread, most likely. Thank god it freezes. :P

More later.

Yay zucchini!

Bring some for me.

Done! *sets aside two monster zucchini*

We actually found a zucchini recipe we'd like to try, so toss some of that stuff in the next care package you send...along with some of that bread. ;)

Don't suppose you have any squash? Recipe calls for yellow squash as well.

No squash. Just lots and lots of zucchini.

I'll put some of the littler ones in - the monsters are way too heavy to post. :p

Share recipe???

I figured I'd wait until I tried it, but here you go:

2 zucchini sliced
2 yellow squash sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBS olive oil
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella (they suggest low-moisture, part-skim)
2 TBS chopped fresh basil
2 TBS grated Parmesan

Cook zucchini and squash in hot oil in large skillet on medium heat 3 min, stirring occas. Add garlic, cook another 3 min or until veggies are crisp-tender. Remove from heat, stir in mozzarella and basil, sprinkle with Parmesan.

It's from Food & Family, a magazine I was able to subscribe to for free when I registered for the Kraft recipe site:

http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/home.htm

Most of the recipes are light and easy, with easy to find, inexpensive, normal ingredients. Of course, the recipes ask for Kraft stuff, but I think as long as what you find is the equivalent, it shouldn't be a problem to substitute even store brands.

Interesting. Thanks!

I'll raise you yellow squash for your zucchini... :)

My yellow squash is actually crowding out my zucchini. It's amazing!

LOL! We have no yellow squash, but the zucchini was threatening the cucumber for a bit. :p

My cucumbers have decided that they want to be in the beans, and my squash (the vining kind) has decided that it wants to join the zucchini and the yellow squash. Crazy!

I hate to see what my tomatoes decide to do. I planted 71 of them.
