    If I'm lost I might be buried under zucchini: Random Tuesday Thoughts

    randomtuesday

    You might be new here. Are you new here? If so, we do this thing on Tuesdays where we all get together and have a few drinks and then we all start spitting out what's on our mind as randomly as possible. It's fun, and it only came to blows that one time. Want to play? Grab a button and get random!

    Why the fuck do I plant zucchini? It's really only good for ONE thing - chocolate cake.

    (Well, and maybe some questionable pervy uses.)

    I planted two this year and they're making the most of life. I have...a LOT of zucchini. There's no way I can make or eat that much cake. I ended up giving a bunch to the octogenarian next door.

    (No word on which of those two uses she wanted them for.)


    I'm moving the blog some time this week. You shouldn't notice, unless of course you actually VISIT the site instead of reading it in a reader. Then it might look different. Also, there's actually a lot of potential for me fucking it up, so if you haven't heard from me by next Tuesday, send out the St. Bernards with casks of booze around their necks, okay?

    Actually, just do that anyway. That would be hilarious. And might make my dog step up her game a little.

    Yes, I will also re-design the fugly RTT button while I'm at it. Gawd, stop nagging me.

    (It'll still be fugly. It's kind of my thing.)


    I was downtown the other day and I came across this psychic who claimed to have a camera that takes pictures of the future. I was kind of skeptical, but then she showed me a photo of myself at 85.

    The camera does not lie.

    Do you ever see the mailman coming up your walk, and you get all excited because he's got a whole fistful of mail and some packages, and then when you rush out to check the mailbox you realize that only ONE envelope was for you? And it's a bill?

    I fucking hate that.


    I spent a lot of time this weekend dicking around with my blog when I should have been applying for jobs. You're allowed to smack me in the ear if I bitch about work this week.

    (I'm still allowed to bitch about my dog, the weather, infertility, and the government. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN.)

    How does zucchini ever end up in chocolate cake??

    I really think that those St. Bernards with booze should just be randomly walking around everywhere.

    I am certain the world would be a happier place. Cuddly AND useful.

    love the image!

    I could write a cookbook using just zucchini from the 9 x 13 envelope my mother-in-law had stashed in her house. Why did I keep it? A good question for which I have no answer.

    LMAO at the picture of you at 85! Hilarious!

    Zucchini rules!!! And I wasn't on your damn lawn so give me a break. I mean, seriously! Your lawn wasn't all that hot anyway. Kind of brown and shrively...no not the zucchini..the lawn. Get your mind out of the gutter!!!

    I WANT THAT SHIRT.

    I NEED that t-shirt!

    Good luck with the blog move. I actually visit the site. I tried a reader once. We didn't get along.

    I'm still up in the air about moving my blog off blogger. I mean I had 500 freaking business cards made with the url dang it.

    Screw it, who am I gonna give em to anyway? Blogher is so over already.

    Please don't redo the Fugly! I like the Fugly! Though Robin at Cinnamon and Honey brings up a good point today - why the ham? I mean if you do redesign it you have to explain it okay? Cause, really, why ham and not say, bacon?

    Happy RTT!

    No! Not the psychic camera! You know the only thing it shows you is yourself in prison after you've stabbed someone! (Am I thinking of the right twilight zone episode?)

    Anyway, my email thingy should work now. If not, the psychic will put me in prison for being dumb. :)

    I don't know, I don't think there's anything wrong with lots and Lots and LOTS of chocolate cake! :) At least you won't have a "Left Brain" problem if you make all that cake...

    Dude, grilled zucchini? Have you not learned anything from Michele at Dog's Life or Jan at Sushi Bar? Those ladies know how to make the zucchini work FOR you!
    Yes, I'm kissing up. :-)

    Zucchini in turkey burgers. That's all I've got.

    And you're quite a snappy dresser at 85. I'm proud.

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMama Badger

    I just want to know how the hell you got your zucc's to grow. I plant 2 as well - loads of flowers - that fall off and NO zucchinis!! (I eat them grilled - YUM!)

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTiaras

    I don't like zucchini and I'm not entirely sure why you would want to ruin a perfectly good chocolate cake with one.

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

    Zucchini bread, that's all I've used it for and it looks like a good Scrabble word! Great post!!!

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRachel M.

    are you gonna be all redesigned? I can't wait to see the new look.

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBrandy

    Interested to see the new design. I like this one (and I rarely, if ever, use a reader to visit). I can be a bit slow to load at times but not here at work. Zippy internets at work. Speaking of which, I'm sure I should be doing something productive...what was it?

    you should make some of my curried zucchini soup. so good.

    and i'd love the chocolate cake recipe.

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJenni

    I have a friend who planted like 6 zucchini plants and he has been begging people to take it off his hands. I have made about 70 batches of zucchini chocolate-chocolate chip muffins and froze them. They are almost gone already. I am such a hog.

    That curry zucchini soup recipe sounds awesome, though.

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPatty O.

    Zucchini and chocolate cake? Hmmm.. I actually can't spell zucchini, I had to copy yours.. LOL

    Oh, why change the RTT button? I like it that way. I don't like change, change scares me.

    Happy Tuesday Keely! :D

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAne

    I love me some zucchini. For eating. I don't guess you can ship it to CA. That's probably breaking some transcontinental shipping of produce law. Get some tomatoes and garlic and onions and you can fix that zuke into something excellent and nonchocolate.

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered Commentergretchen

    MMMM, chocolate cake, how about banana or apple bread with zuchini?

    August 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLaufa

    Whoo hooo! LOVE THE SHIRT!
    Be careful with that zucchini! You don't want to end up in the hospital again!
