Tonight I made my very first batch of zucchini loaf (well, I made the batter into muffins, actually). They're not bad at all. I used the recipe from the Cook's Illustrated baking cookbook, fully appreciating that the folks who worked there probably baked this zucchini loaf a hundred different ways in fifty different pans before settling on the final recipe. That's what I love about Cook's Illustrated ...
Two new foodie blogs have come to my attention: CityMama now has CityFood (where does she have time to do all of that and take care of two young kids?), and there's something Cook's Illustrated-esque about Cooking for Engineers. My friend Ada sent me the link to that site, and I'm intrigued. There's a recent post about making butter, which reminds me that the dude on Chef at Home was grating frozen butter into a fruit crisp topping on the episode that aired this evening. Must remember that.
Gosh that sounds good! Thanks for sharing your new links.

It must be that time of year for zucchini madness. I finished of the last of my fourth loaf this summer this morning for breakfast! And I have been experimenting with the recipes to bring the calories and fat counts down.
