I knew one day I would regret something I said a while ago. I Mildly complained about friends who brought me surplus zucchinis and other vegetables out of their garden.
The gift giving stopped cold, and we missed out on what had been a regular supply of the best vegetables. But just the other day as I looked out the window at my front step, I saw a box of tomatoes and two sacks of zucchinis sitting there. There was no note, no document of origin and clearly even the fingerprints had been wiped clean.
The lesson I learned is that one should never complain about a gift, or as Americans are fond of saying” Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”
I would like to thank my anonymous vegetable producer. We enjoyed every bite.
I use zucchini to make zucchini soup, zucchini fritters, stuffed zucchinis, and on and on. When I make this zucchini slices, I leave them on the kitchen table so we can snack on them until they are gone.
