HOT! Zucchini Mania

The heat we have been experiencing has resulted in a bumper crop of zucchini!  It was only three days ago that I said to my wife that I saw three zucchini that I should probably harvest *soon*.  Last night I ended up collecting 12 zucchini.... and the original three that I thought were "just about ready" a few days ago were ENORMOUS (well OVER a pound (0.5 kg) each. 

We are going to make some healthy (fat free) zucchini bread (regular and chocolate), and I am going to eat a beyond huge mixing bowl of cubed, seasoned and steamed zucchini with dinner along with an equally huge salad (the salad is always huge too).  I am thinking I will add ginger, curry, allspice, and tarragon to the steamed zucchini cubes (and salt and pepper of course).  I can typically finagle those spices into something that has a slightly exotic, somewhat Ethiopian cuisine flavor.
