What do you do when you rise up at three a.m. and then by six you’re done with all your morning chores but notice the bottom shelf of the refrigerator’s stuffed with yellow squash? You make three chocolate squash breads and shred up all the rest to freeze for when the plants are finally killed by frost.
The squash grow quickly when your back is turned, and morning’s harvest so carefully and thoroughly complete will still produce another crop by nightfall.
So chocolate bread for morning, lunch and with ice cream in eveningtime is just a hope at keeping current.
