Better put that zucchini in a car seat

I really have no words to go along with this photo because honestly, this picture by itself is worth a thousand words, and there is no way I could do it justice. What your eyes have fallen upon is a gigantic zucchini from the garden of the uncle of food blogger Iron Stef. This lovely creature, and I do believe that "creature" is absolutely thr right term here, weighs in at ...actually, I don't even know, but I am guessing at least 10 pounds, or big enough that it just passes the weight requirement to put this baby in a carseat! This picture is quite funny, but the real amazement comes from a photo of this zucchini next to a "regular" sized zucchini.

I wonder how many loaves of zucchini bread Stef is going to have to give away!

Well we traveled with it in the back car window from there to DC and back home again a week later. I cooked several meals from it and it wasnt bitter or anything. When you have a garden small or large and dont stay on top of it everyday, you get some big surprises! Happy gardening~
