gigantor monster zucchini from outer space

i work for a horticulture  company, and sometimes other employees bring in food they've grown for everyone to share. so someone has brought in 2 huge, i mean HUGE! zucchinis in and they've been sitting on the table in the lunch room for 2 days. i think no one's claimed them because they are so large and intimidating. they are like zucchini linebackers. they are the size of my thighs. i'm not kidding.

so i guess i'm going to try to do something with them so they don't go to waste, but i don't really know what to do with something that size. the logical choice would be to make zucchini bread, but i was going to see if anyone else had some creative ideas. has anyone worked with zucchini this size before??

Boy howdy, that thar zuke is biggern' y'all kin shake a stick at!  ;D

I love the photo, and the expression on your face is priceless: Do I eat it, or will it eat me first?

Bless your heart, your just a tiny thing compared to those veggies!

(Ok, got that southern saying out of my way!)

Now, onto what to do.  Grate one entire one.  Make bread & muffins, add it to tomato dishes like spaghetti or lasagna.  The second one, cut some rounds and batter for Zucchini Vegan Parm.  Dice some of it and make it into a savory side dish.  Mince some of it and have it with salad (raw), burritos (sauteed w/ other veggies), quiche, breakfast tofu scramble, and/or chili.

I am sure there are many many zucchini recipes here! You could also make delish vegan chocolate zucchini muffins and mail them to all of us!  *nods*  I like that idea best. :D

i tried the bread on on here and found it, uh, special and not to my liking at all.

I love this use of "Special" to mean "gross!" It reminds me of the phrase we used in college to say that something was chunk of intellectual tosh...we would adopt a serious mein and say, "I found it....most effective."  Of course we left out the part that says the effect was barf-making!  ;D

Thus is great! I have two zucchini that are ever so slightly smaller than yours. I was thinking of making chocolate zucchini cake and summer squash patties. I need to get my Mom's recipe for the cake, she always made it when I was little and it is sooo tasty!

Ok ok, I put off reading this thread because I had no idea what it was about... I thought perhaps a joke, a dream, an idea.
Anyway.  I love the pics.  Those really are pretty gigantor monster zucchinis from outer space!
