How I Celebrated

Finally we did something a bit different and fun. We checked out a restaurant near by! Rita's! I have to say, it was pretty good, but I know why I don't go out! That was like $4 for a regular size soft serve and it was only a tad bit creamier than other ice cream places. Maybe if I could have a comparison right then and there, but I was really not impressed. How do these people stay in business when there is a Menchie's just down the way? Anyhow, then I tried to make some zucchini noodles. I went for Asian spices, but I think I probably would have been better off doing Italian tomato or cream based. I just felt like I was eating pickled vegetables like China all over again. Veggies are such a disappointment.

History

Punchbowl
Zucchini is a word I often forget how to spell because I do not use it often. It is one of the few vegetables I am willing to eat raw. I still enjoy cucumbers more and would rather have zucchini in zucchini bread.
