Bobbi,
I slice my zuchini, spray it with nonstick spray, cook it on the grill just for a minute or two on each side, and then take them off the grill and drop in a dish of parmesean cheese, shake them around until they are pretty well covered with the cheese.

PS I loose a lot in the bottom of the grill, and they are only really good freshly cooked, not served later.

MMMMM, that sounds good.

I absolutely DASH here each time there's a notification for this thread... hoping to see the Alien eyes on the squash... even though I tell you not to do it....

(((((((Bobbi)))))))))

Carolyn, someone told me yesterday that I've about 3 more weeks of the veggie growing/showing up time here, so... I've also gotta try the way you cook zucchini. Sounds so delicious!

The one thing I probably won't try is making zucchini bread, since I tend to muck bread recipes :o.


ConsiderThis, I'm working on it ;). I've drawn faces on golf balls in the past, but never on food! I read your cautionary note, as well :D. Given the thickness of the skin, I think it will be okay since I won't be using it to make condiments (sp?). Next one, I'll try that.

Ohhh, I am SO Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohhh-kay... here's the hip-hop gourd dressed in Roswell style :D. I ran out of room on the memory stick, so I'll have to tweakster the photogenic appearance of her tomorrow... and... was it more than a wee bit sadistic that the photo was done atop my stove!

Awww....that is so cute! Does this mean the skin is too thick to eat? In your research, did anything explain what the difference is between and gourd and a squash?

Carolyn....your recipe sounds delicious too. If you slice them lenghwise, you won't lose so many between the grates. Or, get yourself a fish basket for grilling.....or toothpicks (2 in each piece) but you have to cut them thick enough to run the toothpicks thru without breaking the slices. Easiest is cutting lengthwise. Yum Yum! I'm so anxious to see how these all turn out. Bobbi, remember when making your meatloaf that adding the squash will put plenty of moisture in. I use lots of tomatoes, onions and mushrooms too which add even more moisture. You lucky lady, growing your own tomatoes! I have a neighbor that had a tomato plant and it took every bit of will power to not steal one. I didn't and pray she didn't let them go to waste.

Dang, it's 2:30 am and I'm hungry now but much too tired to do anything about it.

Happy Cooking Bobbi

Nope, Shotspine. It only meant that the skin, I think, will prevent the ink used in creating Roswell from seeping :D.

This is where I found some info. about the gourd:

I'm torn on whether to eat Roswell, though. Someone suggested that I have Roswell looking over the fence, toward the neighbor's and present them with Roswell. They've got a good sense of humor and... kinda thought I lost I lost it when I mentioned, a few years ago, that chicken is vegetarian :eek:. I'd gone to their house, with another neighbor, to invite them to our annual July 4 block party/pot luck. When they said that they were vegetarian, I said, "Oh, that's okay. We'll be serving some chicken." At that moment, all I saw was their pearly whites! They were laughing so hard at what I said. I learned: Chicken is not vegetarian.

I used the stuffed zuccini recipe last night - for zucchini; it was delicious.

About your neighbors 'matoes... Would they give you some if you ask? I'd ask. The worst you'll hear is: No. But, I betcha they say yes.

id never use teflon -its bad

Hey Bobbi...

I'm glad you liked it!! My thoughts of stuffed zucchini are stuck in the forefront of my brain. I must go find a big one...I've seen a groc store carry them and have always wondered why.

The neighbor's tomato plant is done for this year. It was a small one and only had about 10 pretty small tomatoes. Obviously all veggies homegrown are better than store bought, but tomatoes seem to have the biggest difference in taste of all the others.

My computer is in crash mode.:mad: I got a blue screen and "Device Driver instead caused Windows "Stop Error". I'm afraid to go to any websites until I figure out what to do. Sadly, I'm computer STUPID. :confused: Hope to be back soon but I don't know what to do. Decided to catch up on posts and emails before I shut down and see what happens.

The veggie chicken cracked me up!!!! It brought to mind though how many meats are available in veggie style......Veg Hamburger, Veg Turkey..hotdogs, sausage, etc, but I don't think I've ever seen veggie chicken.

Enjoy your very cute squash and have fun trying lots of recipes!!:)

Roswell returns... this time, I put a collar and leash on Roswell. I didn't want her to vanish before I could get another photo...
