Oh my ... I need one of these for my doll room!

You have a doll room? I need photographic proof! (I am so Envious)

We have the same issue over-detailed Model Train enthusiasts. We call them "rivet counters!"

I love model trains; Its all over my head though.

Still singing, Brisket man. Still singing.

That's a new one to me, thank you! I will have to try it, I love different kinds of seasonings.

Oh my goodness you gotta try it. It’s almost like a family heirloom to us, we use it all the time.

Try one of the LEGO starter sets. They're a blast to play with, a hit for pretty much anyone who sees them ... and every LEGO City accessory set is compatible to scale. We actually display ours every year at our local Family Train Day. It's this Saturday, 1/10, so my living room is currently a module-construction zone!

Or grated, parboiled, drained and BAKED IN A PIE! Seriously, tastes just like pumpkin and is a great place to hide all those zukes. And get your kids to eat them.

Shred your zucchini, salt it and let it sit to draw out some moisture (or press it in paper towels) and use it to make crab- or fish cakes. I grate and freeze it during the summer and use it in winter when crab is hard to find or just too expensive. It's no Maryland Crab Cake, but it's a darned nice fix to hold us over until crabbing season starts again!

It's currently packed away in boxes, but now that youngest DD has moved out, I'm claiming her room!

Summer squash and zucchini taste and feel like what I imagine would be swallowing a serving of warm slugs.
. I guess I should add escargot too!

When I was a kid my parents wouldn’t let me leave the table until I finished all my vegetables even if it made me gag and retch. I often would sit there for hours when squash was on the menu until my Dad felt sorry for me and let me leave. Old school parenting!

Our rule was try at least one bite but don’t force them to finish it. Ironically, when MY kids were young and visiting my parents, they would be served a plate of raw, crisp, cold delicious veggies. I would then get a phone call of how great that child was at eating their vegetables . And if the kid happened to eat squash or zucchini then it was all over. My mom would just radiate smugness for days.

Maybe you are allergic to it.

My grandmother forced my mother to eat seafood, even when she threw it up. She never ate seafood as an adult.
Fast forward 70 years, a dye shot in the eye to check for macular degeneration progress cause her to retch. I was queasy thinking about a shot in the eye.
They had asked if she had any allergies. They said she must have a seafood allergy, because that's was in the shot. Benadryl took care of it then and I would give her a Benadryl before we left on future visits.

If summer squash and zucchini feel like warm slugs, you're cooking them too long.
