Zucchinis -- the vegetable that I loathed the most while growing up. The vegetable that would magically grow in our California garden when all other plants shriveled. The vegetable that our Georgian church friends would gladly unload upon our shoulders because they had way too many. The vegetable that I have suddenly over the past year grown to love -- and learned I can't afford!
That's right. At the grocery store, zucchinis cost like $2.99/lb while I watch with envious eyes as people I am invisible to gladly exchange their green zucchini for the relief of not having it anymore. I don't know how often I wished I was seven again, only to sneak a zucchini into the year 2011.
Well, my friends, yesterday, the zucchini God smiled upon me. We were at Jaren's cousin's house, when on our way out the door (after a lavishing evening of cake and Apples-to-Apples), I was offered a zucchini! That's right! A real zucchini! I thought it was a joke at first. Did they see me eyeing their zucchini plant with pure lust in my eyes?
Regardless, I owe G and E a lot. I have been the loving thoughts of their disposables that I treasure SO much :) Remember the KitchenAid that I love?
