2. Still finishing off the snacks we had when our daughter visited.

Tonight it's prosciutto, cheeses, melon, and olives. Good bread. We suffer so

7. I feel your pain

She said, sipping her wine and having another nibble of goat cheese laced with agave and freshly ground black pepper.

8. LOL

I know! I always think that when I see that on those Chinese ribs.

Ah well....Chinese. The most popular American take-out.

4. First summer squash of the season, sauteed with first of Vidalia

onions and butter, plus some other stuff, but the squash is making me weak in the knees.

9. Congratulations, japple

I know you were looking forward to that first summer squash!!

Nothing like it--so tender, so beautiful.

10. The squash and the onion were both so incredibly sweet and tender.

You're right. There is nothing like it and I always wait impatiently for it every year! Here's to fresh veggies straight from the garden.

ETA: going to have to try that zucchini rounds with panko. Are they baked or fried? We expect to have zukes out the wazoo this year. Neighbor/niece planted about 10 plants because her daughter, Sarah, age 6 (my great niece) loves zucchini better than anything.

11. I fry them in a ceramic pan

with very little olive oil, but you could certainly bake them if you wanted. I dip them in egg, then coat with panko that has herbs and garlic mixed in. Fry them in maybe a teaspoon of olive oil in the ceramic pan. I do this very slowly, while I'm doing something else in the kitchen.

Yes, they are an excellent way to use your zucchini.

I have quite a few squash I'm starting, but I'm doing them for the blossoms. Can't figure out how to keep the plants at a reasonable size, though.

dressed with lemon/lime and fresh ground pepper.
