The One That Got Away
Posted on August 6, 2026 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
 
If you have ever grown zucchini, you know what this is.  It's the one that got away.  We check the garden daily, and every once in a while, there is one zucchini that misses our notice.  We check one day, we miss a day, and the next time we check, there is one zucchini that is 17 inches long, just hiding under those great big leaves.
 
Well, we had one yesterday, and I gave it to my friend.  She made zucchini cakes, a lot of them, and that's what we had for happy hour.  
 
Every day is happy here on our mountain.
 
 
HAPPY SUMMER!!!

Will your friend share the recipe? Zucchini recipes are sort of like arugula. There's no such thing as too many/too much, and I'm always in the market for something new for happy hour.

I think the recipe is in the recipe section. It is for mock crab cakes. Her addition is that she cooks them in her air fryer.
