LE/Fire Lunch ~ Zucchini/Cheese/Corn Casserole ~

Good 55º clear sunny morning. Suspected thunder showers in the area, but no sign of them. "Supposed" to be cooler today. Hit 90º yesterday. Last night there were a 'hint' of clouds.....

A young doe and her little spikey buck were out. She was keeping an eye on me while I was standing on the porch....

This is the 188th day of the year, with 177 remaining.

Yesterday I had three young deer at the back door sharing chow with some Toms... 

The one Tom was looking at me, the deer did not know where I was...

This morning I saw the first of the hens with her chicks. They were very nervous and scooted off into the trees before I could get my camera!

Then yesterday off to the Grants Pass Golf Club for our LE/Fire luncheon.

It was a beautiful day and the barbecued hamburgers were great!

(Thanks for taking the pictures Candy!)

Big lunch, was not hungry for dinner, but here's a great little side dish to use up some of that abbondanza ( http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abbondanza ) of zucchini in your garden.

 
 

From my friend Sandy....

Ingredients:

shredded zucchini

1 block shredded Jack cheese

large can Ortega green chilies

2 cans white corn - drained

salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Directions:

Put shredded zucchini in a large fry pan with a small amount of oil, cook until most of liquid is gone and zucchini has decreased by about 2/3. Add corn, chilies, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well, add shredded cheese, and stir in. Heat on low until cheese is all melted.

"The above makes a very large amount, for just the two of you I would shred about 6 med to small zucchini and then use about 1/3 of a block of Jack cheese. You can judge how much you want in there after the zucchini cooks down. Use one can of corn."
