Help!  I'm drowning, and I have a feeling you may be too.  In zucchini that is.

How is it that something so longed for, can quickly turn into too much of a good thing?  I happen to love zucchini--its subtlety, its versatility, its special place in the late summer garden and kitchen.  What I realize I'm not so keen on, is zucchini unabated for weeks and weeks.

In fact, I was almost relieved the other day when, upon inquiring into the dietary restrictions and disinclinations of our Parisian guests, I was told they all ate everything, with the exception of 10-year old Jacob, who, it turned out, was game to try anything but zucchini, or courgette, as it came out in his lilting French.
