Um right so. Twilight drinking game was fun! I blame Edward's hair for my subsequent headache.

Right now I am procrastinating on two items: 1. essay due Wednesday on an incredibly open topic WHERE DO I STAAAART and 2. going down to the junction for to return a DVD my dad left with me before fucking off to new zealand with my mum.

Other things my parents left behind: a total lack of margarine and a shitload of zuchini. What do I do with this much zuchini, you guys? I have been replacing the marga with avocado because leaving the house ew. But I have never eaten a zuchini! In fact nobody in my house regularly eats zuchini, so I do not understand why my mother bought like twenty of them right before going on holiday!

The main reason I am not returning the DVD, aside from general leaving the house ew, is the torrential rain outside my window. It is seriously niagara falls out there. My grandparents, brother and cat all got caught in it, because my grandparents, brother and cat all leave the house.

To be fair I barely spent a consecutive twelve hours in this house for most of the last month, so this week I am perfectly justified in hibernating. The trouble is not having to GO anywhere seems to equate in my brain with not having to DO anything, so this essay is not turning out well.

Incidentally my sodden cat looks like a hedgehog and has taken shelter in my lap. It is extroadinarily fun to give a cat a noogie when the fur on the top of its head is sticking up like a twelve year old boy that's got into his dad's hairgel. I have been trying unsuccessfully to think of a way to relate this to twitter without sounding vaguely dirty.

Zuchini is good steamed, baked or fried. I'm not a big fan of it, however it is very tasty if you grate it and make it into patties with a bit of egg to hold it together and fried. You can mix other things in with it too like onion, cheese, mince or whatever strikes your fancy. Nom nom nom.

zucchini! zucchini is my favourite vegetable, here are my top three ways to eat it:

- chop the zucchini into about fifths, removing the top & bottom, and stand them as cylinders on a tray with a light spray of oil. cook in a 180 degree oven for 10-15 minute, serve with butter.

- clice the zucchini in half vertically, cut out the seeds with two triangle slices, mush them up with some grated cheese and pepper and breadcrumbs and idk whatever else you want, refil the zucchini and spread the mixture over the top, and grill for ten minutes or bake on 160 degrees.

- chocolate-zucchini cake.

lol aside from the chocolate it sounds good. Okay, also aside from the baking. Me and baking do not have a good track (http://maggiebloome.livejournal.com/233282.html) record (http://maggiebloome.livejournal.com/233589.html).

a-ah, you're one of those people.

well, if you ever do stir fry, you can throw in diced zucchini (slice it into quarters vertically and then chop into half-centimeter pieces.) or if you're a meat-and-three-veg person, the quickest way to cook zucchini is to take off the top and bottom, and slice thin circles, then microwave (about 2 mins on high with a drizzle of water) or steam. it goes well with light, salty seasonings like cheese or butter, mixed with other water-based vegetables like squash, or carrot, and with white meats rather than red.

Well, you don't really want to reuse them, do you? Then, by subtracting the number of used zucchinis from the original set, we can figure out how many times your grandparents left the house!

...right, which brings me back to the original problem of how to cook ten zuchinis.

Seriously, I do not make implications about any watermelons or quiche lorraine you happen to have lying around the house :P

I don't even know what quiche lorraine is, so I can't have done anything inappropriate with it.

Man, that priest. Kinda paranoid to think the vicar might have been cheating on him with a glorified pie.
