The Grinnell saturday morning farmer's market is a beautiful thing. We purchased the loot on the left for five dollars and from it we have made a ton of salsa and fried Indian-style eggplant already. Now we are tackling the hard-to-justify but irresistible purchase of one fucking enormous zucchini. maybe from that picture you cannot tell just how large this zucchini is. maybe you think the eggplants and peppers are larger than they are. maybe you think it is merely a somewhat unusually large zucchini. You are incorrect. Observe:
This is one enormous zucchini. You know how sometimes you feel uncomfortable carrying around large zucchinis because of their phallic nature? This zucchini has approached and left behind the phallic stage. this zucchini cannot be held in just one hand even by the strong. this zucchini is a weapon.
when we bought this zucchini, we thought we could use it to make a full batch of cupcakes. After shredding it in our new (!!!) super awesome powerful amazing food processor, we learned that we have enough zucchini on our hands to make five batches of cupcakes. What you see on the right is about 1/4 of the total zucchini output. That is a nine-cup capacity food processor (!!!).
The absurdity of a zucchini such as this inspires the creative mind.
And also requires a lot of zucchini-based recipes. Be prepared.
