I like her. I can't stand Paula Dean. She seems too fake to me.

Oh gawd! When she comes on I can't change the channel fast enough. I don't
like Rachael Ray either.

Yeah. I don't need to see all those other people on the show. Watching her
is bad enough!

There is a strong difference between her first shows and those in
later years. She sent away for a couple more dump truck loads of
drawl and low country mannerisms and applied them liberally. I'm
assuming that she was told the southern charm is what sold her program
and to do more of it. Just like someone told Rachel Ray that boobs
were the thing and now we are forced to see them dangling everywhere.

I don't eat eggs at all! I'm allergic to them. And there is no way I would
eat raw dough now. I know better. This was when I was a kid.

Both of them make me ill. I could not dare watch one of their shows in
the fear they may cook something I like and I would never be able to eat
it again...

Not a clue. I'm no baker. If I had to guess, though, I'd say
that milk would make them more moist/soft.

I'll give it a try next time. Hope I remember, because I don't bake
cookies very often and I made them just a couple of weeks ago.

That is exactly what I think- you are not his servant unless you allow
it. He should appreciate the effort you make to try to find something
you can/will eat...

I'm allergic to bananas. Is there a recipe with no bananas in it?

Yes. Google zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, etc.

I watched a Julia Child show about a month ago. In the episode, she cut a
giant zucchini in half lengthwise, steamed it in foil, scooped out the seeds
(which were too hard to eat), and used the zucchini as an edible serving
vessel for other things.

My SIL makes stuffed zucchini. Her stuffing is similar to what you would
use for stuffed peppers and they are baked in tomato sauce.

Many years ago I was the Garden Shop manager at a department/discount store.
My customers used to bring me their excess produce that they grew from the
seeds or the plants that they bought from me. I once got two paper grocery
bags full of huge zucchini. I was single back then and had no need for
large amounts of food. I did manage to give a lot of the zucchini away but
I took the rest home and made bread out of it. I had never had zucchini
bread before. The only quick breads my mom ever made were date/nut or
cranberry.

I wound up with countless loaves of bread. But it didn't last very long
because my room mate and I had a steady stream of friends in and out of the
house. And somehow they always knew to come over when I was baking.

I once had a friend ring the doorbell and he actually had a wrapped stick of
butter in his hand. I had just taken a couple of freshly baked loaves of
yeast bread out of the oven. How he knew I was baking it, I'll never know.

When I had an over-abundance of zucchini in my garden (in another life
when I grew vegetables), I would halve the big ones, scoop the seeds out
and stuff the halves with meatloaf mixture. The kids loved it.

The big'uns I'd slice into 3/4"thk rounds, brush both sides with olive
oil and season, then grill, excellent... the smaller ones I'd slice
lengthwise and do the same. Did likewise with eggplants; iciban
lengthwise, plump D cup globes sliced into rounds.. a slice on a
burger, yummy!

I wish they'd sell even medium sized ones in the grocery store once
and a while. My grandson loves stuffed zucchini and it's hard to find
them big enough to stuff so that two halves make one serving.
