When I visited her, and she gave me some produce out of her garden including two giant zucchini.

From those two giant zucchini, I made over 30 zucchini/corn patties and 6 loaves of zucchini bread.

When I was a kid we used to fantasize that the 2 possibilities for natural wealth in Wisconsin would be if someone could find a use for lots sand and for zucchini. Well, they're mining our sand for fracking and the locals sure aren't getting rich from it. That leaves us with only zucchini to pin our hopes on.

When I returned, there were two more sets of pipes in the back seat.

I planted three Zucs this year, what was I thinking?

Montana woman fends off bear attack with zucchini
September 23, 2010

The Associated Press

FRENCHTOWN, Mont. — Police say a Montana woman fended off a bear attack with an unlikely weapon — a zucchini.

Missoula County Sheriff's Lt. Rich Maricelli says a 200-pound black bear attacked one of the woman's dogs just after midnight Wednesday on the back porch of her home about 15 miles west of Missoula.

When the woman, whom police did not name, tried to separate the animals, the bear bit her in the leg.

Maricelli says the woman reached for the nearest object at hand on the porch's railing — a large zucchini that she had harvested from her garden.

The woman flung the vegetable at the bear, striking it and forcing it to flee.

we generally wear a couple of zucchini as bear repellent.
