...upon close examination you will notice a lighter area in the lower left of the vegetable , this appears to be a perfect outline of Elvis! I saw one similar on ebay.

Hi Mel

Just thought the following may put things in perspective.
zucchini[zoo-KEE-nee] A popular summer squash shaped like a slightly curved cylinder, a bit smaller at the top than the bottom. A zucchini's skin color can vary from dark to light green, sometimes with yellow markings that give it a mottled or striped look. The off-white flesh has a very pale green cast and the flavor is light and delicate. Common market length is 4 to 8 inches long and 2 to 3 inches thick. However, some specimens are as tiny as a finger while others-usually home-grown-can reach a mammoth 2 feet long by 6 inches in diameter (or more). Fresh zucchini is available year-round in most supermarkets, with a peak period during late spring. Select small zucchini, which will be younger and therefore more tender and have thinner skins. The skins should be free of blemishes and have a vibrant color. Zucchini can be cooked by a variety of methods including steaming, grilling, sautéing, deep-frying and baking. See also squash.

Melody,
Why did I know you were gonna say that!

Thanks Tony,
I enjoyed all the links and got some new ideas. I love squash in any shape, form or flavor. If I could stand up longer, I'd be trying Mel's vegetable patties.

As soon as I typed 19 inches and 7 inches wide, I got hysterical laughing and I had to say what I said.

And I am now making my spinach, onion and parmesan romano cheese patties. My kitchen smells GOOD!!!

I'm afraid to cut the darn giant. lol
Mel

I love it!!!!

You reminded me of an email I got today...

I started to put it into a web page after I saw your topic... but then I wondered if the images were so large that they'd load too slow.

I can make them smaller in my photo program.

Let me know if they load slowly...

Anyway, here's a few of them...

You know what, I made all of the images smaller...

They are really cute.

Gee, Mel, I wish I could take cooking lessons from you. I am a terrible cook, and need to add more veggies to my diet.

Ditto! And I hate to cook so that doesn't help. Sigh.

Oh that is funny. I wish you lived near me...my 80 year old mother grew a huge garden this year and had zucchini in all those sizes...seriously some of the biggest I have ever seen. She probably made 3000 zucchini cakes, which are delicious by the way......im kind of sick of zuchinni at this point. Last year she grew a 16lb cabbage! The huge metro newspaper here in Dallas/FtW ran an entire article with pictures of her garden and that darned cabbage.......
Tomatoes.......well she had some almost as big as my head We gave away more veggies than you could feed a small army with! It was great and everone enjoyed them so much!
