You cook the zucchini batons until they are just cooked through, still firm, and gently infused with the flavor of the thyme. The original recipe calls for the zucchini to be cooked for 20 to 30 minutes, which is too long for our tender garden zucchini. My mother tells me that depending on the source and the time in the season, zucchinis can widely vary in toughness. So my advice is to watch it closely and when it is close to being done, take it off the heat....

My mom’s old Kitchen-Aid from 1970 (bought second-hand, and still works!) was having a heck of a time turning the dough and I swear I could smell it overheating. After making who knows how many shapes and 2 hours struggling to put it together I lost patience. My decorating job was jaw-dropping in its sheer ugliness as I was never any good at arts and crafts. By the end, I was pretty well ready to bite the head off of little gingerbread baby Jesus out of frustration and call it a day....

I do. I must have been around 7 years old and we were visiting my grandparents in Phoenix, in the summer. Have you ever been to Arizona in the summer? Must be why I find Sacramento so tolerable. Let’s just say it’s hot. I still remember all of us greedy kids, still in our swim suits, having been cooling off in the pool all day, lined up in the kitchen, wide eyed as we watched my father scoop ice cream into tall glasses, and then slowly pour root beer over them....
My young friends prefer rose hip jelly, but I the jam. It’s best to make on an overcast or otherwise beach-unfriendly day, only because it takes time. To make the jam you have to prep the hips, and cut each one open to remove the itchy sticky seeds that you don’t want those ending up in your jam. Making rose hip jelly is easy, the jam, a bit more complicated....

The secret is using avocados. You won’t really taste the avocado in the finished pudding, but it helps give it a thick and creamy consistency. Depending on the size of your avocados, you may end up needing to add a tad bit more coconut milk or sweetener to get the right pudding-like texture. But add gradually, as you don’t want to make the pudding too thin. The coconut cream also comes together quickly once you’ve chilled the coconut milk....
