zucchini bread

at work we have this customer who is just the cutest old man. during the summer he likes to bring us produce from his garden. he normally brings in cucumbers and tomatoes but he called in one day and asked if anyone wanted a zucchini. i have never made zucchini bread but thought i would give it a go so i asked for him to bring me one. this is what he brought me........

notice it is about two feet long. this is not what zucchini's are supposed to look like! i just couldn't stop laughing about how big it was, but thought i would still give it a try. i asked my mom for a recipe and she gave me two and i meshed them into my own. i went over to my friend hayley's to use her food processor to grate up the zucchini. note: i really want a food processor so if anyone wants to donate to the "andrea wants a food processor fund" be my guest. so this massive zucchini grated up enough for ten loafs of bread. and i want to point out that i only used about 3/4 of a inch from the side. the middle was very soft and has massive seeds - remember this is not a normal zucchini. i made a my first batch (two loafs) and they turned out quite beautifully. although i had to keep poking one with a knife to see if it was done. i took the non mutilated one to break the fast the next day and it got all eaten up. because of how much zucchini i had i made another batch and took two loafs to work. this time i tried a different recipe - a paula deen one - and i loved it. and so did my coworkers. i now have enough zucchini in my freezer to make six more loafs so i guess i have a few more recipes to try until i find my favorite.
