Happy Sneak a Zucchini onto your Neighbor's Porch Day!
I knew Tricia and I were meant to be friends when I discovered our love for this holiday!
Ways to successfully get rid of excess zucchini:
-Carefully place a dozen or more zucchini in a large, sturdy black plastic trash bag, then add a couple layers of unwanted clothing. Drive to nearest Goodwill or Salvation Army, hand over bag to nearest volunteer. Politely refuse any offered receipt. Leave quickly.
-Look for out-of-the-way places which have signs posted, "Clean Fill Wanted."
-Under light of full moon, either stark naked or wearing full army camouflage, carrying a machete or any garden implement, run amuck in your zucchini patch, cutting and slashing. Be sure to thank Mother Nature for her bounty before and after this cathartic experience.
-Buy a large roll of freezer paper--the kind that sub shops use. Then proceed to wrap each zucchini that has managed to grow to a foot or more in length. Next time your child has a fundraiser, send him or her out supplied with these phony subs. Tell child to drop them off with neighbors or relatives and leave quickly. It's advisable that a responsible adult hover nearby in a get-away car.
-Gather all available plastic containers and freezer bags. Drink a vat of your favorite caffeinated beverage, in preparation for staying up 'round the clock to purée large quantities of zucchini. This can then be packaged neatly and artistically labeled: "For Zucchini Nut Bread Recipe." These packages can be freely given, along with copies of recipe, to anyone on your Christmas list.

Don't worry, I will bring you a lederhosen. call me soon! LOVE YOU, and how is the poison ivy? i have to get a shot when i get that stuff.
Three Cheers for this fabulous holiday! I hadn't remembered this year... shame on me! New Life Goal: To actually put a zucchini on your porch one day when you least suspect it. It may take driving to Memphis in the middle of the night, but so be it!
I am definitely thinking of the weinering days... and I can so see Tricia driving through the night to put pureed zucchini on your doorstep.
