HAHA--so others are participating in this "event" besides me--lol--I'll leave you extra now because you said you didn't like it.

Boy, isn't that the truth!
I was talking on the phone yesterday, to my first cousin who lives in New York and is 78 years old. She said, "Somebody left three giant zucchinis in front of my door. How am I going to cook them all? I guess I'll have to make a lot of zucchini bread and zucchini, vegetable soup." As for me, I can live without zucchini, so give yours to someone else.

same time that you lost the directions to find my blogs.  LOL

Hey Quirk! Thanks for the zucchini you left on my door step! I'll trade you my bionic long English cucumber that's weighing in at about 7 lbs! My partner fears that with such an extraordinary cucumber... I'll have no further need of him! ;o). Sorry... maybe that's TMI for a discussion about vegetables! LOL Sandi
