There is an old country adage that says, "The only reason to lock your cars in the country is so that your neighbors won't put a bag full of zucchini on your backseat while you're in church." So, unfortunately times have changed and its a good idea to lock your cars even outside of zucchini season, but it still rings true in sentiment.
Zucchini season is just beginning, but its starting off with a vengence at my house. I planted 3 grey zucchini plants and 2 of an italian variety. In the past 4 days I have to guess that I have pulled at least 20 pounds of zucchini with many, many more coming behind them. I was excited about my bountiful harvest this year until I went out and pulled 3 more and started to wonder what I was going to do with all of them. Inspiration struck though.
I came inside and grabbed the recipe box I inherited from Great Aunt Ruth. I quickly found the recipe for "Poor Man's Crabcake". It's basically a crabcake, but its made with shredded zucchini instead of crab. I've made many a batch of these during zucchini season. Guess what's for dinner tonight???
Check back for my next blog post for the exact recipe as I need to refresh my memory on baking times and temperatures!
