On Thursday night, we picked two more zucchini. Kim steamed them and served them with grilled chicken, jasmine rice, and a Thai peanut dipping sauce. We had lots leftover.
Friday night is pizza night. As we went out to pick basil for the pesto pizza, we found two more zucchini ready to pick. Into the crisper they went.
Today we went out again and here's our harvest.
In addition to the lovely and delicious red and yellow cherry tomatoes (minus two that we couldn't help eating before the picture was taken), we have picked two more zucchini.
For those of you playing along at home, that means that we have picked a grand total of SIX zucchini since our first starry-eyed and romantic blog entry three days ago.
This is an unsustainable rate. We like zucchini (Kim more than Kevin) but cannot imagine how on earth we will be able to eat all we harvest.
We may have to resort to stealthily hanging bags of zucchini from our neighbors door knobs.
Zucchini, anyone?

Oh,Kimmie,
I should have warned you.... zucchini are a very high producing vegetable. I had to laugh. It was so sweet, your meal that encircled your first zucchini with love. How many zucchini plants did you plant? Just make sure you pick them every day. Not only will you have baskets of zucchini, but if one is overlooked.... you could have a watermelon sized zucchini. Suggestion... try a zucchini bread recipe... Delicious toasted, also.
Love, Mom
try zucchini tempura
