    Years ago, when our oldest was about 10, we had something similar growing here. My husband had the woodchipper for some sticks that were around the yard, so he supervised Nick tossing in the 'unknown.' I still don't know what it was, but the kids sure had fun seeing how far different old veggies would shoot!

    Is there a recipe section? I don't want to hijack Krystyna's topic.
    I'm happy to share the recipe.

    I love fried zucchini. I use smaller zucchini though. I peel the zucchini, slice it in small thin pieces (like you would a tomato), then I beat a couple of eggs and dip the zucchini in that, then I dip that in flour that has been seasoned with salt & pepper,or I also use onion ring batter, both are sumptious, then fry the slices in hot olive oil, until browned on each side, and serve. It only takes a couple of medium size zucchinis to make a large plate to serve a family of four. All of my family love it. I like fried green tomatoes done the same way, but they aren't as good as the zucchini to me.
    What a neat idea to give that to the soup kitchen. I am sure they will be most appreciative of the gift. A good way to pay forward.
