AC Garden Club: Tomorrow is Sneak Some Zucchini Day The full name of the August 8, 2010 'holiday' is Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day. 'When all else fails in your garden fails, zucchini abounds,' Barbara Armitage. Besides sneaking over to neighbor's porch and leaving some there, she suggests a solution: Make Zucchini Bread, and offers two recipes of the delight. By Barbara Armitage, President Adair County Garden Club Most holidays require that I either cook massive amounts of food or spend huge amounts of money buying presents for someone - I could learn to like holidays that require neither of these things and that encourage me to get rid of something that I don't want. Gardeners tend to be very frugal folk - from childhood we learn to save seeds for next springs flowers or ask for cuttings from a friend's garden so to ask us not to plant all the seeds in a package or to thin seedling well you may be just asking too much. Which brings us to Zucchini. When all else fails in your vegetable garden Zucchini abounds. It demands to be harvested daily - gardeners have been known to arise from their deathbeds to pick Zucchini. By August kitchen counters are groaning under the weight of the harvest. Entire cookbooks have been written devoted to the uses of Zucchini pages filled with untold number of recipes, for bread, soups, stews, dips and more. And still that determined little plant goes right on producing more. Your friends and family begin to avoid you. Once back in my "corporate" days I became so desperate that I used my position as manager to coerce employees into accepting a portion of my bountiful harvest. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Gather your harvest and tonight under the cover of darkness take this opportunity to sneak over to your neighbor's house and share your Zucchini with them! I can't help you with the question of what do I do on August 9th. May I suggest Zucchini Bread?

SOMEBODY'S MOM'S ZUCCHINI BREAD By Barbara Armitage Ingredients
Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. Prepare crumb topping. Combine flour, sugar and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Stir in oatmeal. 15 minutes into the baking time sprinkle the crumb topping mixture on top of the loaves. Bake an additional 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean. Cool in pans on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and cool completely. -From the Farm, Tucker's Station, Barbara Armitage This story was posted on 2010-08-07 07:58:12
