Ponderings

Have you ever noticed how Old Red Legs sometimes comes after you with a full frontal assault? You see it coming, you prepare a battle plan, and you meet him head-on. He learns, though...he also can attack you guerilla-style, sneaking up on you from behind so you don't know what hit you!
That happened to me this past week, and it took four full days before I could even raise my head off the ground - sounds melodramatic, I know, but if you asked my family they would agree. I'm not EVER going to let that happen again if I can. Next time, I'm going to ask for prayers, prayers and more prayers..and earlier than I did this time. I'm going to get on my knees and just cry out for help. I forgot to do that! DUH moment! I bet ORL was having a merry giggle at my expense, but he forgot that a mad Irish chick is not to be messed with. Lesson learned. Enough said.

Zucchini surprise!

I have finally found a delicious dish that uses the baseball-bat-sized zucchini we all know and love - mock apple crisp! It's amazing and no one knows those aren't apple chunks in there. Just cut up the zucchini, being careful to cut around and omit the central seeded part. Simmer in lemon juice and sugar, then add sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg as you would for apple pie filling. Follow any recipe you want for the streusel/crisp topping and bake as directed. I even made enough to freeze for another day! Yippee - I love it when I don't waste!
