I've been told more than once that I have big hands. .. ..no no no.. Not like that Seinfeld episode where Jerry's sitting in the diner with his date and, from the POV of Jerry, the camera shows man-hands reaching toward it/him. No. Not like that. What they mean is they think [and don't keep it to themselves] that my fingers are long and gangly.
..Now that your life is complete with knowledge of that little tidbit..

Check out these zucchini..


Touring at a circus near you, or should be anyway.. What gives? Away for vacation? Too much fertilizer? Or perhaps these were just meant to serve as table pieces?

When buying zucchini for taste-bud-loving consumption, choose ones that are small or small-medium. As zucchini matures, its skin grows tough and it loses its sweetness and tenderness-- qualities which make zucchini = yum. What I suggest is that if the zukes you find are too big, then look for a substitute veggie or cook something else; and if you want, before you do, whip out your camera to make the most of it.
