RMRF AUGUST 2010: THINGS TO DO WITH ZUCCHINI AND OTHER RECIPES FOR SUMMER

I was so set to write this great post on cooking with "weeds": the high in omega-3's purslane and zucchini, which grows so prolifically most treat it like a weedy vegetable. But I just did not like that purslane. BUT, I did love this recipe with a different sort of slant using two vegetables which are ubiquitous in summer: GREEN BEANS AND VEGETABLES WITH SAUCE VERTE. Also a tasty SUMMER MINESTRONE and a RUSTIC PLUM TART so easy that kids can make it. With a bit of poking and prodding from parents. Obviously, Audrey ate none of these things and Morgan picked the zucchini out of the soup, but hey, you can't win 'em all.
