Guaranteed to slow traffic instantly. Yes, it's true they are only good for a few hits, but as quickly as zucchini grow, this isn't a big problem, is it? Use them for speed bumps!

That video is priceless...as is having a friend who grows giant zucchini and then shares her bounty with you :) Zucchini bread and/or chocolate and zucchini cake can make use of part of that...there is also this great side dish I found on Simitten Kitchen -- zucchini and almonds, so good! Just sliced almonds browned in olive oil, then add little matchsticks of zucchini until just warmed, season...that's it and sooo delicious :) I’m so glad to have stumbled on your blog!

I'd be tempted to do some sort of suffed zucchini boat too, if I had a dinner party or something, but I think more likely I'd end up making a lot of zucchini things and vary things a bit. Z soup, Z bread, grilled Z (yum!), etc. Most often what I do with zucchini is just toss it into a stirfry or something. You can freeze some of the plethora of zucchini things and keep some of them for another time so you don't get totally sick of all things zucchini. So funny!
