Zucchini

We've had some zucchini from our weekly CSA seating in the refrigerator longer than I care to admit. Fortunately it survived long enough to make a loaf of zucchini bread.

For this, I didn't even bother looking through my recently grown collection of cookbooks - I have purchased several of them over the last year and they proven to be great sources of information and inspiration.

The experiment of the day

I'm anxiously awaiting Fall weather. I love the cool air leading up to winter. I also love dinner-time soups and stews. Unfortunately it has been a little too warm for soups still, but I couldn't help myself any longer. I had four large and very pretty tomatoes from our CSA and some home grown basil. After a little research I settled on a roasted tomato rice soup. I'm very happy with the results. It was hearty, but not to heavy. I might try a few tweaks in the future, but this works for now.
