Adventures in Cooking Our CSA Share: Hidden Zucchini

I made the cookies . . . and Sis wouldn't even try them. I'd like to be able to blame the fever she

developed today for her lack of appetite, but I think she sensed the zucchini. Even though I called them

"Summer" Chocolate Chip Cookies. It's just a summer

cold, I'm sure, so she'll be fine. But I don't think that means she'll try the cookies, which were

good (enough--I like mine crispier so I'll need to fiddle with it a bit, maybe somehow strain the

shredded zucchini) and not even a bit green.
