Half-Assed Homemaker

I've been trying to pick the zucchini early while they are still small. I like the sweeter fuller flavor of the baby zucchini. It seems that at some point, there is only so much zucchini flavor to go around so letting it grow bigger will not help the flavor. The other day I picked some small enough that I was able to steam them whole and still be able to cook them in a few minutes.

Piercing the outer flesh gave a nice snap which balanced the tender veggie goodness inside nicely. The snap seemed to propel the flavor to all corners of your mouth.
