Beware Zuchinni Hood

He's a distant relative of Robin.  He steals from the zuchinni rich and gives to anyone that is gullible enough to take his goods.  He hits parking lots and unlocked cars.  He leaves young, tender zuchinni on doorsteps and in church foyers.  I have been a victim of this crime on more than one occasion and I thought the warning should be passed along to others.  Last week I was hit again and found this on my doorstep--
A young, innocent zuchinni wrapped in swaddling paper and awaiting my arrival.

The clever Zuchinni Hood tried to disguise this one as a cucumber, but don't fall for it. 
I'm thinking of starting a VODOZ (victims of dropped off zuchinni) group.  But it is only for a short season and the worst of it is over around here.  I hope this helps to warn others.  ;))

That was really funny!

I found a zucchini in my garden yesterday that had mysteriously grown to an alarming size. I needed the wheelbarrow to get it to the compost heap. (Almost.) Heck, I can't even give away anymore of my prolific, beautiful, succulent slicing cucs right now and know inflicting zucchinis on others is a totally lost cause. (I even slice them up for the poultry, but they run and hide in the bushes when they see me coming with the pail full. Should I try sauteing them first?)
