I didn't realize there were so many killer zucchini recipes. I thought people grew them just to give them away.

They take up a lot of space so if you just want a couple of tomato plants and deep down you really don’t want a vegetable garden, plant zucchini as filler.  Artichokes work well for this too.

Got a spot picked out for artichoke in the greenhouse. I am hoping thwy make it through the winters.

My dad planted them and kept them for years, they did ok as plants but never produced more than a half dozen a year and we were in the right climate for them, but I’m not sure he did much beyond water them and they probably need a little more than that.  Like zucchini, my mom always let them get too large.

Thanks for sharing. I’m looking forward to making a go at it, I like having perennials in the greenhouse and love artichokes

My Mom grew her ego like your Mom grew her zucchini. The interesting thing is this, my moms ego was all built on her large zucchini and she didn't even garden. She wore men's pants, I'm not sure why.

I hope you do this for a living, you’re uproarious!  There’s a guy on here that does the same thing, but on CRUISE SHIPS!  I wouldn’t tell him, but I think you’re funnier.

Oh I'm pretty sure very few of mine stick, whether I say it with authority or not.

That's very kind of you to say. I haven't done anything for a living for over six years now, being disabled due to two painful conditions. Writing this silly nonsense keeps my brain busy at the very least, and there's a lot to be said for that. 

@Ybabpmuts

Would you share the details of your disabilities?

stump is in some serious pain,  only posts when he is feeling up to it which looks like hes feeling a little better lately

Sure. I have systemic avascular necrosis (AVN) in all the big bones in my body. Basically, I don't generate new bone growth like most people do, my bones are essentially dead. What happens is they start to fail where the most pressure is, which is typically around the joints. I've had three knee replacements, two hot replacements. This year I was supposed to have one ankle replaced, and the other next year, but one of my knee replacements is peeling away from the bone so we have to deal with that first. It's also n my elbows too, though not bad enough yet to operate. It's been maybe 15 years now and I've had 14 major operations. I was also on oxycontin for 14 years straight, at massive dosages, up and sometimes over 600mg a day. I got off that a year and a half ago. That was brutal in itself. 

My small bones, in my feet and hands, not to be outdone by the big ones, have psoriatic arthritis, which can be extremely painful during flare ups. For that, I have a nurse come every four weeks for infusions of Remicade and I self inject methotrexate weekly as well. 

I had a morphine pump put in at one point, but developed a massive hematoma around it, and had to have it removed a week later. 

I could go on .. but I have a Dr appointment ... 4th one this week, which is typical.

this is an quick and easy side.  Make the vinaigrette ahead of time.

I quarter the zucchini vs slicing it thin, and then cut into cubes after it is grilled.

When I take this to other's BBQs it is gobbled up and people ask for the recipe.

@danhoo, thank you for this recipe link.  We made this yesterday to go with grilled swordfish and shrimp skewers.  It was phenomenal.

I would hit @Photo Egg up for his chorizo stuffing recipe from his wings thread. Please copy me as well!

The fantastic stuffed zucchini was all my sister in laws doing…
But it was based on this recipe with the addition on 1 pound of good chorizo.
