Any Home Bakers Here?

Too many zucchini in the garden and they're getting too big. Best for bread. Found a recipe for cheesy zucchini bread.

Recipe asked me to squeeze the shredded zucchini in a towel. I hate doing that. Added the salt the recipe called for to the zucchini in my salad spinner, waited five minutes and spun the water out. Much cleaner/easier.

Once the bread was done I popped five ramekins of crème brûlée in the oven.

Oh, what a GREAT idea! Thank you for posting this! I will do that next time I make zucchini bread (soon!). The "squeeze out in a towel" method is a mess.

We had 2 lovely weeks of cool weather, I had guests without end, the last ones are leaving tomorrow, so the temperatures are going up again no baking for me

We have small bakeries in my area. NONE make sourdough. One of the grocery stores sells a sourdough-style loaf (basically just made with commercial yeast with a sourdough taste). My local food community is trash and it makes me angry. Husband and I never go out to dinner. I can't put down good money for the crap they peddle here. Last time I went out for a shrimp dinner at an Italian place it was overcooked and rubbery. Every time I go to one of the annual firefighter chicken BBQs the chicken is unseasoned and burned and the sides aren't homemade (salads from cafeteria pails). It's so sad.
