Everyone has zucchini to share these days. Well, except for me. But I gladly accept any squash a person would care to off-load. The other day, I entered the office breakroom to find a table full of long green and yellow goods from someone's garden with a note that said "Enjoy!" I grabbed a few on my way out that day and started thinking about what to do with them. Zucchini bread is always my first thought. But then Smitten Kitchen had nice little recipe for a zucchini pasta dish, so I decided to try that first. I added a little bacon and sauteed scallions, and it was quite good.
Later, I was ready to begin my next quest: this delicious and somewhat strange recipe for Zucchini Bread on 101 Cookbooks. I was sold on the crystallized ginger and curry powder additions. I readied the ingredients and began grating the leftover yellow summer squash from dinner. Then I grabbed the zucchini. Grate, grate, grate. Instantly I began smelling a rather cool aroma and noticed an exceptionally wet grate box.
I have never been more angry at the sight of a cucumber than I was at that moment.
How did I not realize this ahead of time, I will never know. Feeling foolish for searching for the ultimate way to use up my free zucchini only to find I should have been looking up recipes for Pimm's Cup, I quickly grabbed my purse and went to the store at 10 p.m. to BUY zucchini.
But it was worth it. This is the absolute best late-night zucchini bread I have ever made.
