What have you been doing??? Have you forgotten about us?

I was having so much fun with my blog.  Photos and cooking and gardening…and then….this summer happened.  I haven’t forgotten my blog exists, I have just been working about 80+ hours a week at 2 jobs and unfortunately, because the blog doesn’t pay the bills, it got put on the back burner, so to speak.

Besides working, I have been tending to my garden in all of my spare time.  It needs tending because it has gone absolutely crazy.  I need to do a photoshoot but I did want to share the following exhibit with you all.

The zucchini that took over the world

I went out tonight (as I have been doing every other night) and found this lurking in the depths of the garden.  I think I have found the solution for world hunger.  Plant hundreds of zucchini plants, then just ignore them for a while, and then THESE will appear and feed a village apiece.  And don’t worry, at no point did my food make contact with the food, its just there for scaling purposes.  And also for comparison purposes, it is smaller than my calf, bigger than my arm and it weighs about as much as a newborn.

This zucchini is just the tip of the iceberg.  I harvest about 4 every other day of varying sizes.  I have run through all of my go-to zucchini recipes at least 10 times and we have zucchini bread coming out of our ears.  My grandma sent me a recipe for a casserole that requires 6 cups of shredded zucchini.  That might use up about a third of this monster.  Anyone need a batch of zucchini casserole topped with zucchini bread and zucchini sprinkles?
