Vegetarian Wonders

I know Jacoby has already posted today, but I just felt like showing off some more cool food pics. I realized I hadn't downloaded from my camera in a while and I remembered wanting to post these. So here they are.
A mutant strawberry! It's like a kind of siamese twins thing, two or three of them melded together. Crazy! And in my hand it looks like a butterfly, right?
I love strawberries. They're one of my favorite fruits. This one was really tasty. Of course, I find that I often regret eating a funny food, like that HUGE zucchini, remember? I mean, if I've taken the time to take a picture of it and laugh and marvel at it, I feel a little guilty about... killing it? But it's still food, right?

Speaking of zucchini, these next pictures are really cool.
These might look like ordinary lasagna and spaghetti, right? Wrong! It's raw zucchini! The lasagna we had on Friday. Annette and I made it ourselves. All you do is peel strips of zucchini and make it part of your regular recipe instead of the pasta strips. Sauce, cheese, the works. It tastes just the same! It might be messy, because the zucchini strips would be thin, but it's still delicious. The best part about this dish? You don't have to bake it like normal lasagna! You put it in the fridge until you're ready to eat. No, not until you're ready to be eaten, silly! The zucchini! (Sorry, bad joke.)

Same with the spaghetti, which we had today. Again, Annette's and my recipe. After you peel the zucchini, you slice them as thin as you can. Voila! Throw on the sauce, sprinkle cheese, have garlic bread, add meatballs, whatever you like having with your pasta. Trust me, you've gotta try it! You won't taste the difference. Who needs packaged pasta from the shelf? One regular sized zucchini will equal one good serving of veggie spaghetti.

You know what I call this? Using your vegetarian noodle! Get it?
