Internet, you know I still love you even when I’m away, right? I just haven’t felt like writing much of anything lately and I’m more than 1/2 of the way done with a sweater for Owen and it’s just been easier to sit and knit a row or 20 when I’ve had a free moment.
I can’t decide if it’s the weather (alternately hot and super humid or cool and almost fall-like) or just life in general that has me in a low-grade funk, but I’m hoping to move on to greener pastures mood-wise anytime now. No one likes a grump, least of all me, especially when I’m the grump! I turned 32 this past week and I’m still trying to figure out how yet another year has already come and gone–time seems to speed by at a breakneck pace anymore and I just wish it would slow down–even just a little bit–because I have so much I want to fit in and it just seems like I don’t have the time for half of what I want to do/see/accomplish.
Also, I fear someone has been slipping the zuchinni plant steroids on the sly. I swear I check every other day for new zuchinni and somehow I have (in addition to normal manageable sized zuchinnis) ended up with monster zuchinni three separate times now. The first one that I shredded up and froze for zuchinni bread made 18 cups of shredded zuchinni. Internet, that is ALOT of zuchinni. Here’s to enough shredded zuchinni in the freezer to be able to make zuchinni bread once a week until next spring.

You know, if you pluck those buds when they first appear, they don’t turn into zuchinni? And I’ve heard they are very tasty sauted in butter but I can’t honestly speak to that.

Now that you have the local fauna trained to not eat the plants, do you want to bait them back in to eat the zucchini? Come up with unique ways to use it, like, oh, I don’t know, a new form of playdoh?

I’m envious! I just made my first batch of zucchini bread/cake, and it was SOOOOO good! But I only have enough to make 19 more batches, and I fear that won’t last me until the zucchini crop next year.
