Well, we're not in the great PNW anymore, Toto. At this point in the summer, all of our family and friends are trying to figure out how to use the remainder of the zucchini that has taken over backyard gardens. They are searching through recipes with a scowl on their face in hopes of finding just one more way to cook the green beast.
We, on the other hand, are ignoring each and every recipe that calls for our PNW summer staple with a frown on our face and a sadness in our hearts. Why? Well in the desert, zucchini obviously does not mass produce like a twitter-pated rabbit. Rather here, one small zucchini sells for about 1.6 KD. Yup, the veggie that at this point you claim you will never plant again is selling for about $5 US EACH!! So next time you stumble across a recipe that features this delicious veggie and you begin to grumble just think of us in Kuwait, take that scowl off your face, and have a bite for us.
