I'm sick of zucchini but my garden is a machine...I have 6 inside the house and probably 8 currently growing!
I planted three yellow squash and three zucchini plants, not realizing they would take over the world. There are at least 15 yellow squash that need to be picked, and I am sick of eating it. There are 8 zucchini that could be picked (one is WAY too big) and a bunch of babies forming. New house rule: If you come over to visit, you must leave with a minimum of one squash and one zucchini.
Have you ever made zucchini relish? It's a really good way to use it up.
ETA clarity
I should have clarified, I have zuch's and yellow squash, it's all the same to me. My dad planted 4 of each. Enough is enough. I gave a bunch of green ones to FMIL and my BFF gets two each week!
And no, please send the recipe! Tonight is zucchini pasta.
@kimmiinthemitten, I grate zucchini, squash and carrot and put them in my pasta sauce when I make a huge pot of it. I freeze containers of it. When my kids were little, that was how I got extra vegetables into them.
Super easy (though I will say, grating onions is not very fun). Great way to use zucchini (and onions if you grow them!). If you feel ambitious you can actually can it, but in my house, H eats it with a spoon so it's gone in a couple of weeks anyway.
Another garden-related FWP: We harvested potatoes yesterday - which is my favorite garden activity since it's like digging for treasure - but we have so many and I don't know what to do with them.
My brother wasn't a fan of nuts in baked goods as a kid (no allergy, just didn't like them; don't know if that's still the case). I prefer nuts but will eat zucchini bread with or without nuts.

I hate nuts in baked goods also. Still flat out refuse to touch any baked good with nuts.
So strange because I like nuts. Like bake goods. Together?
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

That's nuts!!!

We had tickets for the 1pm Jason Bourne movie today and now DH might have to stay at work and I will have to wait until tomorrow.
ETA - Too complicated to make everyone else stay, so we're going today!! Yay!! Now I have to finish the third Bourne movie to catch up and may not have time for lunch
My phone won't play Pandora and let me play 2048 at the same time.
I am OBSESSED with that game!!! I never knew of anyone else who played it until today
I played it like an addict a while back when it came out. Now I've been playing the "crazy" one for days. I hate that my regular strategy of keeping the high number in the corner doesn't work well but I'm still playing the shit out of it LOL

The "crazy" one is like 8X8 so it's way harder to keep the big number in the corner. I'm still playing the game I started like a week ago and I'm still not sure I have a good strategy. LOL
The Maccas we wanted to get breakfast from this morning at 530am was closed now we have to drive another half hour to the next one. Damn non 24 hour shops!
I have a coupon for a pizza place we like that's by my work so I've decided to surprise H and bring home pizza. Except I waited too long to order and it takes an hour (deep dish) so now I'm stuck staying at work way later than I want to on a Friday waiting for the pizza. Should have ordered it at like 3:15 but forgot about it til almost 4.
Plus then it means I'll be stuck in super crappy traffic on the drive home and have to smell pizza for ev er.
This is a real problem! I hate when I'm looking forward to a good, properly cooked piece of red meat and end up with a hockey puck. If I wanted crap, I would have paid $0.99 for a McDonalds Double thankyouverymuch.
I really need a pedicure, but don't want to spend the money on it. I want to just buy the Amope nail set {buffing the calluses AND nails!} and be done with it.
Also .... 49 days until first time home buyer! Just bites we still have to wait lmao
FH got pulled over driving my car with tags that expired last month while speeding. He was going to just be given a warning entirely, but he couldn't find the current proof of insurance so yay court visit!!
Re: First World Problems
And no, please send the recipe! Tonight is zucchini pasta.

But purple potatoes are so fun!

I took Monday off to go to Bears training camp. But Blackhawks tickets go on sale Monday morning and I won't be at work to buy them.
ETA: I'm an idiot. Preseason tickets go on sale Monday. IDGAF about preseason. I know you all were worried about this, so crisis averted. Carry on.
