Our friends dropped off an enormous zucchini that had been growing undetected amidst all the other vegetables in their garden.
It weighed 9.4lbs! Here I am, cradling my new baby.
I've made a start on using it, but still have a substantial portion left. I sliced and braised it, then added cheese, which obviously (and intentionally) melted. Quite yummy. The skin seemed tougher than regular-sized zucchinis, a little closer to eggplant than I'd have expected. The seeds were larger and tougher, too. I scooped them out as one would with butternut or acorn squash.
I think Zucchini bread is next, and maybe a curry or casserole will benefit from the nutritious and non-carb thickening this vegetable/fruit will provide.

My neighbor down the street has been gifting us similar wonderful treasures from her garden. We have been eating a lot of Zucchini too. It's so much better than the ones we get in the store...even if they are labeled fresh. Her tomatoes have been heavenly as well. I love me some tomatoes and eggs....the best! Doesn't look good but tastes heavenly!
Tomato with scrambled eggs is delicious, but you're right - looks gross.
Ok
