Go to the case next to the cheese at the grocery store and buy yourself a roll of Pillsbury.

Katie Fisher's Zucchini Bread

second only to my Grandmother's, who forgets how

*2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
*3 eggs
*2 cups sugar
*1 cup oil
*3 tsp vanilla
*3 tsp cinnamon
*3 cups flour
*1 tsp baking POWDER
*1 tsp baking SODA
*1 tsp salt

Grate the zukes with skin and seeds, set aside

Beat together eggs and sugar

Add oil, beat well

Add zukes and vanilla

Blend in dry ingredients

Pour into two loaf pans

Bake 60-80 minutes at 325

Slice and slather with plenty of butter. It's bread, after all.

While the bread is still hot, go to Baskin Robbins and get some vanilla ice cream to make a zucchini shortcake. While you're there remember the good old days (the early 90's. Were they ever that good?) when Katie and I used to work there. One scoop for the customer, one for the ice cream girl. Katie likes German Chocolate Cake, and her sister likes Gold Medal Ribbon. I like Cookies and Cream with Caramel Sauce ever since they stopped carrying Caramel Chocolate Crunch.
