So ... Zucchini.
I gave 3 to Suz today (and then we went out and picked blueberries, so I have 9 pounds of those to process). And I had half a cooked zuc left, and one whole fresh one in the fridge, and then harvested one more. So my lunch was pasta with the cooked zuc added.
The Chubby Hubby likes to have something hot with his lunches. Often that means leftovers, but as much as possible I steer him to soup. So I made zucchini soup. Well, a vegetable soup that featured a lot of zuc. Three cups water, 4 boullion cubes, one cubed carrot, most a zuc (cubed), and a large handful of dry egg noodles. He was happy. He ate some zuc, so I was happy. There is soup left for tomorrow, so we can be happy again tomorrow.
I may try Suz's recipe of battering sliced zuc, drizzling it with olive oil, and baking it next, because clearly I have to keep coming up with recipes.

End-Of-Storage Soup
Blessings Darlings!
Tonight there is a late spring snowstorm happening in the north east US. Trees, which have already pretty much leafed out, are losing branches and bringing down power lines. Nevertheless, I'm fully in Spring mode, and have started making batches of "let me clean out last years dried veggies' soup.
Today's soup is a pretty typical one: dried tomatoes, wild onions, jalapenos, celery, zucchini, along with wheat berries, chickpeas and the plantain leaves I posted about on Monday, in chicken stock. I'll make another pot in a few days, with eggplant in for the zucchini ... and maybe dock weed in place of the plantain. This weekend I'll make a pizza and turn the dried tomatoes into pizza sauce.
Very soon I'll be getting lots of veggies from the garden and fruits and veggies from local farms - I'm going to need every inch of shelf space and every available jar for canning. If I don't use the older yummy stuff, I won't have room for the NEW yummy stuff.
And I need to start experimenting with this recipe for coffee jelly I ran into on line. I'm thinking about kicking it up with cinnamon and/or hot pepper. And giving it out as Yule gifts.
It's NEVER too early to get started on Yule gift when you're a reconstructionist, since preparing gifts by hand takes longer than spending money on 'em.
