ZIGANTIC ZUCCHINI!!!

Here is a picture of my friend F. and her daughter J. with SA on our front porch. Do you see the zucchini she is holding? It was 19.5 inches long! I made four different recipes with that zucchini! Zucchini mousaka, 2 different Thai chicken dishes, and Bowtie Pasta with Zucchini- that huge zucchini supplied all of those dishes! My friend F. was my first French friend. She speaks great English, and she is helping me once a week with my French. She is a blessing, let me tell you! It is very hard to find English speakers in the area where we live, and it is great to be able to talk with her in English when I have questions about French. She also gave me about 2 pints of cherry tomatoes which were delicious. We enjoyed them in salads, as snacks, and in pasta dishes! This week when she came to help me with French, she had another huge zucchini (this one is 21 inches long) and more cherry tomatoes for me!She is a great gardener, and I am enjoying the fruits of her labor. She also gave me several strawberry plants which I have been taking care of. F. says that next year I should be harvesting my very own strawberries! If any of you have any good zucchini recipes, please send them to me.
