Wax thought that three zucchini plants would be a nice round number this year, and then it rained for a few days and nobody went outside, and we ended up with six zucchini of which two were supergiant, and the Ukrainians only agreed to take one.
The zucchini fritters we tried to make WOULD have been great if they had been cooked through, but the insides were still raw and the texture was wigging me out so I couldn't finish them. Wax still liked them. I'm thinking baked would probably work, but as for fried ones - the recipe said medium-high, and I can't think of any universe where they'd cook through on medium high instead of toasting the outsides. If you made them really small and thin - which the recipe didn't indicate! - they wouldn't really even hold together long enough to put them in the pan! The mixture doesn't have the structural integrity of like, latkes. Or falafel.
Anyway, that's not the point of this post. The point is that fully four zucchinis went into those fritters, and we only ate half before coming back in the kitchen and finding Snookums poking around in the plate. He was licking one and had gnawed on several others, and we couldn't tell by looking which ones he had licked or bit, so they all went in the trash.
So although he didn't actually, I think, ingest even a teaspoonful of zucchini, my little man disposed of 2/3 of the Big Zucchini Harvest all by himself.
