Harvest happenings

Since I've become so spotty with the updating, I want to put a couple of things down even though they don't have much to do with each other.  They fall under the general category of what happens to the veg we bring home.  

1) YEY! Something to do with overgrown zukes!

The zucchinis grew a lot over labour day weekend and we had a couple of behemoths on Tuesday last.  One of them, we managed to offload on a vegetarian student (they really need their vitamins) and the other we took home and stuffed. We sauted onions and garlic and the meat of the hollowed-out zucchini and put in some red kidney beans and tomato and a few olives for good measure.  Then we grated parmasan all over it and sprinkled parsley over top.  It was wonderful.  Served on a bed of brown rice, it gave us lunches all week.  YUM

2) Killer attack on tomatoes

Chutney doesn't like the little yellow plum cherry tomatoes (must find out their real name).  Or maybe she likes them too much.  At any rate, I came downstairs to find tomato-flavoured gore spread around and the poor little tomato corpse all burst and bleeding.
