Default giant zucchini recipes

Big zukes are similar to what the Brits call "vegetable marrow." Very
large squash with a whitish flesh, slice lengthwise, scoop out the seeds
and connective tissue, fill with a meat/veggie dressing, bake until
tender and dressing is done. Eat the whole thing excepting the skin.

I've done it a time or two with oversized zucchini and it isn't bad at
all. Probably some recipes on the web.

I grate up those big Zukes and freeze in 1 cup packages. When making
chocolate or carrot cake I mix in one cup. It adds moistness, and some
nutricional value ; ). Makes a mix cake taste more 'made from
scratch'. No one will know that there is zuke in there.

Another recipe is to slice zukes and tomatoes, layer in a baking dish,
sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, oregano and drizzle with oil (Olive
oil). Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 F. Smells like pizza and
taste very good.

Remember me? I couldn't get my zucchini started. Eventually, I got a
half dozen proper size zucchinis and then the diabolical plant stopped
producing, or so I thought. I am now the proud owner of a 18" long x 4"
diameter zucchini. I know there is a perfectly good recipe forum (where
I have posted) but I know that you people have already have had to deal
with this problem. I know I can make bread. Any other ideas?
Don't know why I'm so surprised, again,
