Zucchini, meeny, miney, moan.....

A man had an out-of-town visitor and had taken him to visit many local places of interest. The final day of his visit was on a Sunday and so he was invited to go to church. After they had parked, the man made sure he had locked his car. The visitor asked him why he had locked his car since he hadn't locked it at any of the other places they had visited. Surely he didn't need to lock his car in the church parking lot! The man turned to his visitor and said, "If I don't lock my car, I come out and it's full of zucchini."

Zucchini meeny, miney, moe. Plant a seed and watch it grow.
Eeny, meeny, makes a lot. Like a magic cooking pot.
Eeny, meeny, munch a lot. Zucchini every meal you've got:
Zucchini bread, zucchini spread, zucchini casseroles,
Zucchini pies, zucchini fries, zucchini dinner rolls.
Zucchini juice, zucchini mousse, zucchini jam and scone.
Zucchini hash, and succotash, zucchini, meeny miney, moan.
(From the book, "Busy in the Garden" by George Shannon)

  2. That is the truth!! When we lived in Puerto Rico, the Branch President would open the tail gate of his truck and the church members would load it with things from their yards. Bread fruit, mango, plantains, avacado....YUM!! You were free to give and take.

    Your zucchini bread is delish!!
