Anyway, it is about that time of the year again where those Northeastern Ohio backyard gardens are producing more zucchini than you could ever eat.  So, what do you do with it all? 

My old lady, although she wouldn’t dare eat it, makes and excellent zucchini bread.  Kris over at Get Rich Slowly has some ideas on how to eliminate the problem of spoiled zucchini.  And if you’re not reading Get Rich Slowly already, you should be, you’ll learn a lot.

You don’t think about it much, but potatoes are the third most widely eaten food in the world, behind wheat and rice.  Yet, while the prices of those other two starchy homebodies has been rising significantly, the price of potatoes has remained low.

Potatoes are much more perishable than wheat or rice, and they don’t travel well, so they aren’t thought of when it comes to cheap, nutritious food for the masses. 

I personally hope things stay that way, because potatoes are the shiz.  Fo real.
