We received a rather large zucchini form our neighbour's garden. It is the largest zucchini I have seen in a very long time. It has been sitting on our counter top for about three weeks (I think...could be more) because I cannot decide what to do with it. My husband says it is mocking us. Each recipe I find lists the volume of zucchini as "one zucchini" but is this really the best way to quantify the volume needed for a recipe? There is a difference between a 100 g and a 4 lb zucchini.
Anyhow, ready for an adventure I selected the following recipes:
Chocolate zucchini brownies:
Prest-oh-so-yummy! It looks as good as it tastes...er...tastes as good as it looks. I am planning on a second helping in the not so distant future. I will say that it is more like cake than brownie.

Zucchini loaf:
This loaf was simple to make with little damage to my kitchen. The only casualty was a grating injury to my left thumb (which was entirely my fault). The loaf was moist and had a unique tart and sweet taste. I loved the splash of orange. All in all, a delicious loaf that I would make again.
Now what to do with the remaining 1/3 of the zucchini.............................
