(this little bit from The Three Amigos fits perfectly with our zucchini dilema, of course substituting "zucchinis" for "pinatas"!)
Jefe: I have put many beautiful ZUCCHINIS in the storeroom, each of them filled with little surprises.
El Guapo: Many ZUCCHINIS?
Jefe: Oh yes, many!
El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of ZUCCHINIS?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
Okay, there is a little part of me that is happy that fall is finally here. I absolutely LOVE my garden....even though it did get a little neglected this year. But, what can a girl do with all of that ZUCCHINI?!? Seriously!!!
We have made bread out of it, steamed it, fried it, grilled it, dried it, added it to stuff, eaten it raw, given it away, just plain wasted it and FINALLY.....made some Zucchini relish! And, the relish is yummy, too.
It's gorgeous! Good for you. I think I'm all zucchinied out too!
