Nothing makes me happier that a brand new book... unless there is a stack of brand new books waiting to be read.
And right now I have a stack of brand new books to be read and one has completely held me hostage. I stay up way past my bedtime. I ignore everything around me. My kids think they are neglected. Thank God they can feed themselves. I sneak chapters in during Will's baseball games. Other parents shoot me dirty looks because I am reading during The Tournament of Champions. But do you think I care? Nope.
If I could read while driving, I would.
I don't mean to be rude but I really have to go... my book is calling me. I have to finish it today.
zucchini ribbons with lemon thyme: gourmet magazine june 2008
serves 4
2 pounds zucchini
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoons chopped fresh lemon thyme (the original recipe calls for tarragon)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices with mandoline. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then sauté half of zucchini with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper, stirring and turning frequently with tongs, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with remaining oil and zucchini.
Return first batch of zucchini to skillet. Add lemon thyme, lemon juice, and salt to taste and toss to combine.

Ooooh, I love it when a book grabs you by the balls like that. I just finished reading Pete Sampras' autobiography and was glued - stayed up WAY past my bedtime every night. I'm a tennis and baseball junkie, though. Last book that had that effect on me was "Mommy Wars." Looking for my next one...
this might be what happens to the monster of a zucchini that i got from my garden yesterday but haven't figured out what to do with it.
i love a book like that. off to read the reviews for your captor.
Perfect, I've been looking for a different recipe to use with my zucchini from the garden =)
Tournament of Champions! That took me back - my boys played LL all the way through and while I don't miss the 8 games per week during the season, I do miss the community. Hope your son did well. I'm looking forward to trying both the recipe and the book. Thanks for sharing.
