Zucchini!

This weekend, we visited the farmer's market on a mission to get broccoli and cabbage.  We got that but then saw the box of zucchini.  For $4, we got a ridiculous amount of one of my favorite vegetables.  When we got home, we went a little crazy with our purchase. 

While cooking, we talked about where the zucchini came from.  I had assumed it was local, since it looked like the last of the crop in farmer's garden.  However, Gregory said it could have come from anywhere, since most of the "farmers" at the market are wholesale sellers.  I wish it was easier to tell exactly where everything came from.  We are going back to the market next Saturday, and when we go I want to see if we can find out where what we are buying is being grown.

Recipes for some (the cupcake is Gregory's creation) of the above zucchini creations:

Quick Pickles, Latke, Butter, Meatballs

P.S. After making all of the above in large quantities, we still had enough left over to freeze a large bag for later and have five currently waiting to be turned into bread.  Best four dollars I can remember spending.
