Zucchini on The Loose

Mmm the garden is growing and I don't know if we'll be able to keep up with production. I thought I'd planted conservatively, but I should know that 3 zucchini plants is not conservative. Maybe I'll do a before and after shot, because I swear I go out one day and see a cute little baby zucchini about the size of a hot dog and the next day a giant monster zucchini closer to the size of a new roll of paper towels is sitting out there waiting for me. I also got a yellow squash so I made calabacitas.

We didn't have tortillas in the house, so I decided to make some, but we didn't have shortening either. I made tortillas with butter, which turned out more like pastries. No bend to them at all and very buttery tasting.

As if that wasn't enough kitchen craftiness I thought that I needed some homemade mozzarella to go with the fresh tomatoes and basil. So Sarah and I gave it the good ole college try. Well..... that didn't exactly work out. We ended up making something with the taste and texture of ricotta cheese. I think it had something to do with the temperature. Not sure if I'm going to try again.
