Ode to Carpooling
There are many personal benefits to carpooling:
Carpooling also benefits employers and the environment by:
- Reducing congestion within existing parking areas
- Reducing capital costs of building additional parking spaces
- Improving employee morale
- Improving community relations by reducing neighborhood traffic and parking problems
- Reducing absenteeism and late arrivals
- Reducing traffic congestion
- Improving air quality
- Conserving energy
- Conserving oil
Way to go, Dad! First place for being so environmentally conscious as well as reaping some of the carpooling benefits for yourself.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN WHEN THE LIVIN' IS EASY, GRASS IS GROWIN' AND THE ZUCCHINI IS TOO!
We grew 1 zucchini plant this year! Before we left for Chris and Amy's we picked the 3 little zuchinnis on the plant and took them with us. Chris made delicious fried zucchini---yummy! We were discussing the casserole we used to make with the cheese and bread crumbs....so here it is!
Zucchini Casserole ala Grandma Lucille
Peel and parboil zucchini (Just barely boil and drain.)
Spread in casserole dish and cover with lots of grated Monterrey Jack cheese.
Beat 6 eggs and pour over zucchini.
Salt and pepper and top with buttered bread crumbs.
Bake about 30 minutes at 350 degrees (Until eggs are set and not runny—yuck!)
Here’s another on I found that sounded a little better. (More jazzed up)
SUMMER SQUASH CASSEROLE
2 lbs yellow summer squash, sliced (about 6 cups) You could also use zucchini
¼ C. chopped onion
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 C. sour cream
1 C. shredded carrots
1 8-oz. pkg. herb-season stuffing mix
½ c. butter, melted
In saucepan, cook sliced squash and chopped onion in boiling, salted water for five minutes. Drain. Combine soup and sour cream. Stir in carrots. Fold in drained squash and onion. Combine stuffing mix and butter. Spread half of stuffing mix in bottom of baking dish. Spoon vegetable mix on top. Sprinkle remaining stuffing over vegetable mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes 6 servings.
Cheese Stuffed Zucchini
6 zucchini, 6-7” long 2 eggs, well beaten 1 ½ C. cheddar cheese
½ C. cottage cheese 2 tsp. chopped parsley 2 T. chopped onion
½ t. salt 1/8 t. pepper ½ C. cracker crumbs 2 T. melted butter
Cut off ends of zucchini and scrub well. Cook whole in boiling water about 12 minutes, or until barely tender. Remove from water and cut in halves lengthwise. Scoop out center pulp. Invert on paper towels to drain. Combine eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, parsley, onion, salt and pepper. Arrange squash in greased pan and fill with cheese mixture. Toss crumbs with butter and sprinkle over top of zucchini. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Serves 12 (Better invite company!!!) This would be good with some fresh basil too!!!
Ben, you don't know what you're missing! Mmmmmm good!

New Rule
Ok, new rule. Out of respect for one another I vote that while the Mom and the Dad are visiting one of us (the siblings and out families), the only reason another sibling should call is in the event of an emergency and not just to chit chat. This is valuable time and I know this sounds selfish, but when they are at my house I want their full attention. I will respect their time with all of you, so please do likewise and let me be selfish with my sort time with them. Thank you, I love you all, nobody should be upset or hurt over this, if you are . . . blog it.
