Man Bags Limit on Opening Day

[packman]

Ran into a flock of zucchini on Opening Day and he and his retriever cat, Elmo, get legal limit

[Salviati]

1. By "Legal Limit" I assume you mean he is legally obligated to take at least that many zucchini...

Under penalty of accepting more zucchini.

[FakeNoose]

34. I think he made a mistake going for the big ones too

The smaller, younger squash are always better tasting. The big ones have been on the vine for too long.
But to each his own.

Just sayin'

[GopherGal]

36. Penalty of accepting more zucchini...

and possibly a couple bags of tomatoes

[forgotmylogin]

2. Lol!

I can't get the image out of my mind of that cat prancing back with one of those zucchinis clutched in mouth.

[Fla Dem]

3. "No amimals were hurt in this presentation."

Cute picture. Love the cat.

[Angry Dragon]

4. LOL

[AJT]

5. Impressive. Zucchini are a sly and elusive prey.

[VermontKevin]

12. He probably plays Kale of Duty.

[NightWatcher]

6. How cruel. One minute they're just hanging on the vine (?) and the next, boom, dinner

[Docreed2003]

7. Lmao

Looks like he caught some whoppers!!

[procon]

8. Where's the expected cats-are-scared-of-zucchinis video? nt

[Doreen]

9. Cute. He is going to have zucchini hunting stories to pass down to his children and grandchildren.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

10. If only the zucchini had guns, he wouldn't be so brave.

But it's good he wore a camo shirt so he could sneak up on the unsuspecting zucchini.

[Shrike47]

11. Hell, probably a fake photo. I think the neighbors put them in his car when he wasn't looking.

People are sneaky that way.

17. Reader's Digest story from many years ago. You had to lock your car or you would come back to find a

Reader's Digest story from many years ago. You had to lock your car or you would come back to find a couple of zucchinis on your front seat.

13. Cruel and unusual, what did those poor zucchini ever do to anyone?

Lower their cholesterol? Provide excellent nutrition? They didn't deserve to be killed and eaten like this.

And I bet that cat won't even eat it. It just hunted down the innocent zucchini for sport. That monster



Zucchini are great in a nice Asian stir fry with chilies and miso, or grilled with some olive oil and garlic, or made into zucchini bread.

[LudwigPastorius]

14. That's a healthy looking group of bucks.

Unfortunately with zucchini, the more you cull, the more they breed.

Nutrition information
Ingredients

Volume Ounces Grams

2 large eggs
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder, optional
1/3 cup King Arthur All-Purpose Baking Cocoa or Dutch-process cocoa
1 2/3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 cups shredded, unpeeled zucchini, gently pressed
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F; lightly grease an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, honey, oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the salt, baking soda, baking powder, espresso powder, cocoa, and flour, mixing until well combined.
Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the bread for 65 to 75 minutes, until the loaf tests done (a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean, save for perhaps a light smear of chocolate from the melted chips).
Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack.
Cool completely before slicing; store well-wrapped, at room temperature.
Yield: one 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf.

[niyad]

23. you are most welcome! let us know how it turns out

[House of Roberts]

22. That's the kind of recipe

Mrs. Cropley from THE Vicar of Dibley would make!

[niyad]

25. and yummmm

[packman]

32. Looks great - Saw something like this on LIDIA COOKS show

Now- If it only had bacon in it

[niyad]

37. well, of course, one could cook the bacon, and then saute zucchini, tomatoes, onions, etc.

for a nice side dish.

[lunamagica]

16. K&R.

[Laffy Kat]

19. I see zucchini bread and zucchini quiche in his future. nt

[PatSeg]

20. Hah!!!

Thanks, I needed that!

[MGKrebs]

21. Unfortunately he was actually hunting for eggplants.

[jmowreader]

24. You need to be careful of these vegan hunters

Y'know, a fella would think bringing a knife to this fight would have been far more effective.

And also some tomatoes, olive oil, fresh-ground pepper and garlic.

[Plucketeer]

26. Well - he really squashed any notion

it was gonna be a lean season! I'm wondering if I'm required to have a license to hunt on our own property.

[Cracklin Charlie]

27. Nice stringer!

[Frustratedlady]

28. Back in the 60-70s when zucchini became so popular, I dreaded going to work.

Overnight, gremlins would put paper bags of zucchini on our desks to unload it anonymously. The first couple were appreciated, but by the end of the month, we were all turning green.

Now, I wouldn't mind a couple for breads. Those are great.

29. Did the cat flush them out of their lairs

or did he just retrieve them?

[ret5hd]

30. The cat is obviously a Siamese Retriever...DUHHH!!!

Bred for hundreds of generations to gently mouth the fruit rather than sink their teeth in, prime specimens often bring hundreds of cents from breeders!

[Plucketeer]

31. I'd love to see a cat on point! nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. Here you are.

[Plucketeer]

35. LOL!!!

I needed a good laugh!
