Has anyone looked into that jpg magazine? I was looking it is pretty cool. I think I may enter something in "Tools of The Trade" theme. They have a bunch of themes.

I have a perfect image for that - and the full res file is sitting in Thailand.

Will you share it? (and I'll take the socks option - no way I'm slapping Jamie's Mama)

You bet. Give me a sec to type it up.

Best use for zucchini....

zucchini bread. Mmmmm. I have a recipe for zucchini bread that will knock your socks off. Or make you want to slap Jamie's mama.

Lisa has made a Sour Cream Chocolate Zucchini Cake that is by far the moistest, yummiest best tasting chocolate cake I have ever had. We have not had it in quite some time as it is way high on the calorie chart. Hmmmm, might just have to make a dietary sacrifice now that I'm thinking about it and salivating all over the keyboard.

You
I love currants. What color?

red

It is a rescue from a job site and I have never confirmed its exact type It is Ribes something. It gets green fruits ripening to red. I have always just known them by the common, gooseberry. We don't use them on landscapes.

OK this recipe makes 4 loaves. Make the whole recipe, if you can't eat all 4 loaves, it freezes well.

6 cups flour
3 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
2 1/2 tsp salt

* 4 cups grated zucchini (NOT peeled)
* 2 cups vegetable oil (Don't give me that face, it's what makes it good, lol)
* 6 eggs
* 2 Tbs milk

~ Grease bottoms only of loaf pans
~ combine all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl
~ Blend together the * ingredients (I do it half at a time in the blender)
~ add the * ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well.

bake at 350 for 1 hour 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from pans and cool on racks.

Oh good drool ...and its not just from babies ..lol

I would imagine you need lots of light for a fig tree.

They like full sun but mine was in 50% sun and fruited well. They die to the root in harsh winters here. They usually come back up but mine did not. I stuck a butterfly bush there instead(budlea)

zucchini bread.

Uh, no... The best use for zucchini would be to fill a trash bag before you haul it out to the dumpster.

You eat jalapenos in tuna sandwiches too?!? I thought Mike and I were the only ones.

I put jalapenos (and hot sauce) on everything. Well, almost everything!

I"m serious, even the most hardened zucchini hater will love that bread. Of course, you have to like sweet bread.

My mother used to make zucchini bread. I never cared for it. I suppose it could be a different recipe, though.

On of my earliest memories is of being in Switzerland with my Mother on a farm. They had a row of currant bushes along a wooden fence (with cows nearby). I was allowed to out and pick them in the mornings (supervised). YUM.

My kids used to drink Ribena - it's made from black currants. VERY different taste.

What is your favorite TV show, what day/time/channel does it come on?

I have no clue about TV here and want some pointers.
