That sounds good! I haven't tried a zucchini bread with lemon rind, which I think would give it a nice brightness.

That sounds good! I haven't tried a zucchini bread with lemon rind, which I think would give it a nice brightness. I just remember TWO things about zucchini stories. One, when me Mater was the receptionist @ our local bank for MANY moons, a lady came in & asked if she liked zucchini? She replied, "OH, is that that stuff that comes in a nice sweet brown loaf, with nuts in it?!!" The other one was in Readers Digest MANY years ago whereby like a N.Y. couple moved into this small berg. One day while exiting the Post Office, a woman (local) warned her, "you must be NEW here, as you did NOT lock your doors on the car when you went into the P.O.!!!" The interloper replied, "OH MY, I had NO IDEA the CRIME RATE was that high in this wee humble village!!!" The woman looked @ her a sec w/a puzzled look and replied, "N-O-O-O, it's ZUCCHINI SEASON----IF you leave your car UNLOCKED, someone will FILL IT with zucchini they CAN'T get RID OF!!!" LOL CHEERS!

Heehee! I may be the only gardener in the world that can't seem to grow too much zucchini. Maybe I'll start leaving my car unlocked so someone will gift me with it!
