That's what Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus'
grandmother told everyone in the
Hannah Montana Movie....which I watched
several times recently with my daughter.
We are always late on....well, everything.
But I finally let her watch this movie
and it was okay.
It was basically as silly and simple as one of those
beach-bingo movies from the '50s
with those people who used to be
Mouseketeers.
But speaking of squash,
we had some zucchini squash tonight for dinner
(with our spaghetti and garlic bread).
I was supposed to make a salad and it was time
and I just didn't feel led to make a salad.
You know how it is.
But I saw the zucchini laying there, looking forlorn,
so I thought I'd invite it to dinner. Everyone liked
this new way that I cooked it tonight so maybe
I'll start fixing it this way, but the thing is,
I will have to call it something like "Heart Attack Zucchini"
(I like for everything to have an official name).
Not because it is so good it will give you a heart attack,
but because it is like 50% zucchini and 50% butter.
That's all it was
(with a little salt
and pepper,
of course).
And it was good.
Even the kids
had to admit it,
after the initial
turning up of the noses.
They had to try it, and when they did,
they had to confess that it was good.
And they ate it and lived happily ever after.
So go get yourself some zucchini
and a pound of butter
and start sauteing!
"A glob of butter now and then
is relished by the wisest men."

I think there is too much zucchini in the world. You get zucchini everywhere you go when the menu says seasonal vegetables. Zucchini is always in season! I'm glad you are teaching your children to like zucchini...they will have no choice about eating it in the future. It is everywhere!
Love that idea. It's good that you're so in tune with the items in your refrigerator.
When all the world was going to margarine for fear of butter my JP's granny stood firm with her butter and half and half. These good things in moderation don't hurt us and are "soooo delicious" (as my grand babe would say.)
