Wow...

I just harvested the first zucchini, washed its prickly skin smooth, and sliced it into little chunks to cook up for supper.

It's silly how weird this feels, taking a vegetable from a plant in the yard and actually eating it. It never occurs to me to wonder if the veggies I buy at the supermarket are okay to eat.

I planted a seed. I tended a plant. I know where this thing has been every moment of its existence.

I can't wait for dinner.

Haha, I thought it was you. If you can get your family recipe that would be great. I do have yellow squash -- at least for the moment. I feel like any second now that poor stem is going to snap, but for now the leaves and fruits look pretty healthy.
