when all else fails, you can always turn them into an art project: zucchini block prints.

Zuke pizza is indeed wonderful, especially the version you describe! Thanks Stuart. If you feel like sharing your thin crust recipe/technique, I’d be hugely grateful.

Thanks Ed — yes, skinless baked zukes may be flarby indeed. But this guy looked like it would hold up just fine in a nuclear attack.

Tori told a great story about people in Canada looking for UNLOCKED CARS, into which people would sneak bags of zucchini!

Mary, mom of 10, what I want to know is: how in the world do you have time to read blogs! Bravo to you — and I’m betting your cow will be very happy with the big zuke diet!

Pizza! A good sharp vinaigrette (with lots of herbs, of course) and a blend of white cheeses like Fontina, sharp provolone or whatever; Zucchini sliced really thin and placed on top of the cheese. Thin crust pizza, please.

stir some Aleppo Pepper flakes into some olive oil and let sit about 10 minutes. Drizzle on
pizza when it comes out of the oven.

On those big boys, stuffing them is the way to go (well, except for the bread, which I’ve never done, I guess). One thing, though: if you peel them first, they’ll be so flarby when you get them out of the oven that you’ll have a mess on your hands. Of *course* you eat them out of the skins. You do that with acorn squash and don’t think a thing about it, right?

Of course, the other thing you can do with zucchini that big is club the person who inflicts them on you to death with them. No jury would convict you, as long as it convened in zucchini-growing country! Zucchini: the gift that keeps on giving long after you stop wanting it to.

I made a lovely, delicate zucchini soup yesterday — it couldn’t have been simpler, and it was good hot or cold. I could eat/drink it every day. Not exactly breakaway, though

I posted 10 ways I’ve used zucchini here:

I am going to try your zucchini boat– I just picked 21 more zucchini today, and we’re starting to feed some of the biggest ones to our cow.

That looks delicious without having been baked.
