ZUCCHINI BANDITS CAUSES A DECLARATION OF WAR!!!

So, how do you know when someone doesn't have any friends? They are the ones buying zucchini at the grocery store!! However, there was a big bag of nice, tiny, perfect zucchini on the kitchen counter this afternoon. I asked where the nice zuch's had come from. Turns out Erin had purchased them at the grocery store! She is baking some secret chocolate zucchini treat for the neighborhood "Festival d' Vegetable" on Wednesday and wants her treats to be perfect! I said why buy them when you an get as many zucchini's as you want (and way more!) for free rigt now? The giant ones coming out of the gardens right now don't have as much flavor, she says. And then adds, "at least they are Utah grown!". What ever.

Speaking of "giant" zucchini's-- it has turned into "ZUC-U-LEAR" warfare!!! (You know, 'NUCLEAR" with a 'Z')! Oh, the 'things and stuff' that comes out of our heads sometimes!


Stop the insanity!! Seriously, what do you do with the stray zucchini's looking for homes! You can't just leave them on the porch where people leave them. And you really can't leave them in your car after you forget to roll up the windows. Imagine the fun I have with my Jeep! I can't roll up the windows and lock the doors! Some times my Jeep 'runneth' over with zucchini!

Our answer? Declare "ZUC-U-LEAR" WAR!!! Imagine the surprise when some unsuspecting person opens their front door and discovers that the "Zucchini Bandit" has struck again! And what did he leave?? A "Zuc-u-lear" BOMB!!

BOOM!!!
