Waiting On a Train

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I hope it’s not a train.

Thanks to Pollenpalooza 2020 I’ve been feeling run over by one for a couple days. As in full stop I’m on so much Benadryl I’m barely functional and there’s definitely no chance of me Zooming into anything right now let alone driving there and attending with a mask on.

Many years there is a welcome two weeks-ish break in about July between grass season and ragweed season. It’s not looking good this year. Just another way in which 2020 is relentless.

On a positive (but not corona positive) note, the fruit and veggie crops seem to be doing well.

Quarantine baking blueberries-were-buy-one-get-two edition. Almond flour banana blueberry muffins.

And there are still plenty left to throw on vanilla yogurt & peanut butter granola.

Antioxidants. It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Hey did you know August 8 is National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day? Our neighbor got a jump on the holiday season and didn’t even have to be sneaky about it.

I have several zucchini pie recipes to make, plus double chocolate zucchini bread, and I keep saying I need to try freezing some (apparently it can be done), so maybe I’ll actually do that this year. I eat zucchini year-round. It’s one of my favorite vegetables.

Last night, with ten or twelve zucchini in the house and upon discovering a lack of crescent roll dough in the fridge (as required by one recipe) I googled “impossible zucchini pie” and made this one. Follow the recipe for the batter, adjust the amounts of veggies as desired or based on what you have on hand, saute the zucchini & onion with garlic powder & oregano before putting in the baking dish, and sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the whole shebang. Consider using a rectangular dish instead of a pie plate. You’re welcome.

So good it’s impossible for there to be any leftovers.

I enjoyed my pie while well medicated and catching a livestream concert in my pjs. Owning pandemic life like a boss, friends.

A bonus, I suppose, of antihistamine fog is being unable to process social media shrieking over politics and pandemics. I can only scroll so far before I get dizzy, and if your post is longer than a couple lines … eh, I do not understand. Ignorance is bliss sometimes. I did read through this article on the school reopening discussion. Lots of good thoughts and questions in that one.

For now, peace out. Imma gonna go cook something involving zucchini …
