We Need A Hero

Our nomination - an unidentified woman in Montana used what she had at hand, a 14 inch zucchini, to keep a bear from pushing its way into her kitchen. (The following scene is a recreation, not an actual photo of the incident.)




Yes, it happened last week while we were selfishly going on and on about a ho-hum trip-of-a-lifetime to Paris when we should have been keeping you all informed of the latest developments in really good uses for overgrown squash. A thousand pardons. Read all the fascinating details and see a photo of the actual lifesaving zucchini here.

In the spirit of today's entry, I feel it's my duty to alert that gnome about the giant squash which is about to roll over him and flatten him!

I actually had heard about the zucchini event. Fun/funny story.

Too funny! I think I like the re-enactment better than the actual story though - a 14 ft zucchini looks more dramatic than a 14 inch one against a bear!
