I have heard a similar thing happens when you plant zucchini. I wouldn't know because I don't like zucchini so I don't plant it. I only plant tomatoes and basil because all I ever want from my garden in bruschetta and BLTs. Some day I may try my hand at growing lettuce for the BLTs. That seems easier than raising a pig for the bacon.
Back to zucchini . . . if you have an abundance of zucchini you may want to try making this soup. I have no idea if it is good because I've never made it. I recently checked the Princess Bride out from the library and found the recipe for it tucked inside. I assume the previous reader was using it as a book mark.
I figure you can make one of following assumptions about this recipe--
1. It must be a good soup because of the book it was found in. The Princess Bride is a sit on the couch with a nice blanket, pillow, and cosy fire kind of book. Its like comfort food. The best soups are comfort food.
2. It must be a horrible soup because instead of cherishing the recipe it was used as a book mark.
So here is the recipe. One of you who has a lot of zucchini should try it and tell me if it is any good.
