Homegrown Zucchini


Yeah, I know this doesn't even count as a post. Short post today. And an unconventional one which I hope will convince huliehulie to post her recipes up because she's an awesome cook. I woke up one morning to find this little monster sitting in the backyard. Quite literally, it double it's size in 2 days. And people said gardening was hard... Haha no, I won't take credit for this one. It's my brother who planted this. He's quite the horticulturalist. His school is a farm you see, which he never fails to remind me; "Is your school a farm, huh?", "Is your school a farm, huh?", "Is your uni a farm, huh?". It's currently sitting at 38 centremetres long with an approximate 9 centremetre diametre and it's presumably still growing. And nothing tastes like homegrown.




To me zucchinis (or courgettes as British like to call them) are quite flavourless, but it's got a lovely texture and it lends itself to being able to be cooked in a variety of ways: grilled, pan-fried, shallow fried, steamed, roasted and you can jazz it up with flavours like cheeses, tomatoes, a good olive oil, garlic and especially chilli. Their flowers are really nice stuffed with cheeses and then deep-fried. I hope this has inspired the little green thumb in you so give it a try.

No, we aren't the most amazing gastronomes or chefs. Heck, half our team doesn't even know how to cook... well. However, what we really love is eating. And lots of it. We enjoy that occasional freebie, filling up that craving for a midnight snack and finding a 20 in our pockets that we thought we never had, and using that as an excuse to go out eating. As we battle the ongoing war on uni student poverty, we'll bring you the most swoon worthy recounts of our latest foodie adventures.
