Zucchini Porn

Posted on | August 9, 2007 | 5 Comments

A quick walkabout in the garden before I went off to the harmony sing last night revealed an almost-ready-to-pick Costata Romanesca growing up out of the cluster of stalks like a, well…you know.

I didn’t have time to grab the camera, but here’s a shot of the same one that I took on Sunday last.

I’ll pick it tonight for sure, along with some more haricots and whatever else looks ripe enough, but I’ll take a picture first so you can see how ridiculous it looks thrusting itself up out of the smallish plant. Indeed, I’m surprised to see such a robust fruit coming off of this vine that just hasn’t grown very big leaves at all. This variety has a very thick base attached to the plant and grows almost straight up with what looks to me like pure male aggression. But a touch of olive oil and garlic in the sauté pan tames him right down.

We’re due for yet more thundering, torrential rain today. It’s been quite the deluge around here, some folks I know who have a rain gauge measured 5.5 inches over two days. But more than 3 of those came down in one hour.

The humidity has knocked me somewhat senseless. I don’t know how I ever lived without central air.

    Yup, in the past I have been somewhat smug and dubious about central air. You can imagine how I love it here in mug central.

    I love how you can make anything sound suggestive. Proof of your great writing skills.

    [...] never did post the follow-up to my zucchini post. Probably because it turned out to be not so exciting. As a matter of fact, I left him waiting a day [...]
