August 8th - Zucchini Food Holiday, Use Your Food Dehydrator

August 8th is Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day. Apparently, this bizarre food day started because a) zucchini is one of the most prolific plants in the gardening world and b) early August is about the time that home gardeners become overloaded with harvested, home grown zucchini leading to overt and covert giveaways.

By all means share the zucchini bounty. However, also use a food dehydrator to make zucchini dried vegetables. Using a food dehydrator will dry and preserve the zucchini harvest for use and enjoyment throughout the year and well past the harvest.

Wikipedia and others actually actually define zucchini as fruit, however cooking and dining wise, zucchini is usually prepared and presented as a vegetable. Kind of like a tomato.
