The opera tells you what to do with excess zucchini

Be on the lookout! Tuesday is National Sneak Zucchini onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day. In case you're the recipient of someone's zucchini largesse and tired of zoodles, fried zucchini, and zucchini bread, here are a couple recipes from the lovable weirdos who brought you Culinary High Notes (Toledo Opera Guild, 1978).

If you're low-carb but want pancakes, these Zucchini Pancakes might fit the bill.

And if you're into sweet and salty combos, maybe you could finely dice some watermelon as a topper to turn this into a really weird variation of a feta-watermelon salad.

If your tastes run more to the sweet, though, but you're not quite ready for the fall spices that are usually in zucchini bread, here's a zingy cookie recipe.

Okay, maybe a teaspoon of grated lemon peel in the Lemon-Zucchini Cookies would fall a little short of "zingy," but you could always add a bit more. The batch makes 72-84 cookies, so it also gives you a chance to return some of the zucchini to your neighbor should these be actually good and you like your neighbor OR should they be pretty crummy and you hate your neighbor. It's nice to know that you're covered either way.
