Beerball Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 Was there any teabagging involved? The dog didn't appear to have any bite wounds, but was a bit shaky. Quite possibly
Chef Jim Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Wow that's funny. I once fought off a woman named Montana with my bare zucchini.
/dev/null Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I once fought off a woman named Montana with my bare zucchini. I would have expected a similar statement by Meazza, but in place of "a woman named" he would have substituted "a life sized poster of Hannah"
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I don't blame the bear, who likes zucchini! Anyway... Why is the story so screwy... They say how she was attacked by a smallish (about 200 pounds) black bear and then they show a brown (grizzly) in the photo. Nice spin. Big diff IMO. Still easier to ward off then a brown and believe me, I warded off many a black bear... But the part I have been lucky with is that they weren't "attacks"... Just ones digging around looking for crap of yours to get into too... "Compared to brown bear attacks, violent encounters with black bears rarely lead to serious injury. However, the majority of black bear attacks tend to be motivated by hunger rather than territoriality, and thus victims have a higher probability of surviving by fighting back rather than submitting."

I love courgettes, oh pardon...zucchini. The best thing I ate last month in WNY was a simple steamed zucchini pulled right from my sister's garden.

The best thing I ate last month in WNY was a simple steamed zucchini pulled right from my sister's garden. It is strange... My absolute favorite veggies are cucumbers (and of course dill pickles )... Yet, I don't like zucchini... UNLESS they are battered and deep fried (defeats the purpose I suppose). I like other types of squash though. Maybe it is becausemy mother would make zucchini bread all the time from one's grown in the garden... Then again, she dilled cucumbers too... Go figure! Did you ever have a deep fried dill pickel?... Not one of my finer eating moments, but pretty good.
Beerball Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 Did you ever have a deep fried dill pickel?... Not one of my finer eating moments, but pretty good. Tried them once, thought they were OK, but not something I would order myself.

DC Tom Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Did you ever have a deep fried dill pickel?... Not one of my finer eating moments, but pretty good. Are fried noodles with pickle juice close enough?
Jim in Anchorage Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 I scared off a zucchini by throwing a bear at it one time. You should have seen that courgette run!
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Really the only thing cucumbers and zucchini have in common is the shape. That and belonging to the same plant family.
Chef Jim Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 That and belonging to the same plant family. My point was you thought is strange that you like cucumbers but not zucchini. What's strange about it, they're two completely different flavors. I love zucchini but I'm not crazy about cucumbers.
