An Unexpected Blonde

| | Comments (4) | TrackBacks (0)
Maybe it is too many Raymond Chandler novels, or the fact that I took a class called Dick Fiction in the wacky heydays of UC Santa Cruz, but a mysterious blonde hiding something seemed appropo.

I decided it would be something other than zucchini bread, but who would have expected a dame like her to walk in.  (and that is where I stop my hard boiled detective writing...before anyone gets hurt or embarrassed)

A tip of the hat to the Gardeners' Community Cookbook for the idea...

Zucchini Blondie

Stir in 1/3c chopped walnuts.
Stir in 1 medium zucchini peeled and 1/4-inch diced.

Wow, I just had one of these. OMG, it was so good. I was walking down the hall and bumped into Roy (I like to call him "Willy Wonka") who offered me a piece of this. OMG. It was just the right amount of sweetness and the butterscotch chips were just right. And, it was gooey and basically chewed itself, but it was so good that I couldn't decide to chew it or not because I wanted to eat it but didn't want to run out of the VERY SMALL PIECE that I took. *cries*

I, too, was offered a mere ration of this delightful snack. Most likely because someone's "VERY SMALL PIECE" consisted of half the pan. Top-notch and definitely worth a repeat. Thursday perhaps?

BTW Roy - your photog skills are almost as impressive as your baking!
