Zuchini and yellow straight neck squash are getting big enough to harvest. My wife cooked our favorite summer dish last night.
Slice a squash of either type, (or one of each) into 1/4 inch slices. Salt lightly to draw out water. A soon as the slices begin to sweat, drag them through a plate of flour and coat each side. Then drop into a skillet with 1/4 inch oil and fry both sides until golden brown.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

My mother did the fried squash and she also did fried green tomatoes. We always had a big garden when I was growing up as well as a flock of chickens and a couple cows and pigs we butchered in the fall. Food just tastes better when you raise it yourself.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

Zucc and squash weren't part of my childhood. It was Mrs. Kamo Gari that gave me my childhood flashback with some Japanese food. OMG, it took me back to the Land of the Rising Sun. RB

When i was a wee lad….
I had to go to pre-school / daycare / whatever it was called.
Both parents worked.
Seems like they fixed spaghetti-ohs 5 days a week.
I haven’t ate spaghetti-ohs since….

You know it's weird but the only meal I remember is chili poored over white rice. We had 6 kids and my dad didn't make a ton of money as a Lutheran minister. Can't believe they got by, to this day I can't understand how. Fuggin genius.

I’ll eat it either way, but it’s much better fried in cornmeal, IMO.

Never had fried chicken anywhere near as good, as when my Grandmother would kill a couple and fry them up in her big ole iron skillet.

My grandmother was the same way, they didn't think twice about it. We were city kids but got a dose of reality when visiting my grandparents. It was great.

I even have her Wagner skillet, circa 1890-1920 and I can't make it do what she did.

Ripe fruit.
I think about it now and that and it kind of makes me sad, my nieces and nephews young children. It's quite likely that they will go their whole lives without knowing what a banana is supposed to taste like, or most other fruits.

Tastes from my childhood would have to include the sauerbraten from an old Bavarian recipe made by my German maternal grandparents and also the horseradish they made from the plants they grew. My grandmother would be terrified of me using too much horseradish on something and would always warn me against putting too much on something. When I got a little older I discovered that she was right.

We would always go out and catch mackerel by the tub load during the fall run. Every Friday night without fail,Mom would bake five in a pan filled with tomato sauce…..
Don’t miss baked mackerel at all!

I have stuffed zucchini about to go in the oven. My Mother was a great cook as are her three children.
