Tamara Landre: Zapple it!
http://rgdnapa.blogspot.com/2008/07/zapple.html
Monday, July 7, 2008. Before I forget: if you end up with an overgrown zucchini from the garden, try zapple-ing it! This only works with a big, woody zucchini. 3 inches in diameter or more seems to work well. From the Garden Vegetable Cookbook, by Andrea Chesman. Peel and core the zucchini, then cut it in half and slice in thick slices (imagine apple pieces). Cook 4 cups of zucchini in 1/3 c fresh lemon juice (don't add more liquid, the zucchini will give off quite a bit of water). 1 tsp baking powder.

It makes me want to run out and buy a magnifying glass right now. And spend all day at the beach looking at sand. The pale, reflective, floa...
