Yummo - grazie.  Might have to wait until spring, but a great combination.

Mmm, me too.  Lately I haven't seen any bigger zucchinis around, ours are so small compared to yours farfallina.

Well, judydawn I am not an expert at all but due to my search zucchini is a vegetable for summer-fall season so this explains why we have big ones around here at the moment and instead you don't 

When I was very small we used to eat stuff according to season
Unfortunately that is not the case anymore.
I don't even know well the right season for the certain fruits and vegetables

Yesterday I saw a documentary named Food Inc and I am still shocked by everything I heard!

We certainly know when vegies and fruits are not in season here farfallina - the price is sky high   I try and use seasonal produce 99% of the time these days to keep my food budget stable. I went through a phase of buying anything I fancied but came to my senses that it was a waste of money that we could do other things with.

I really want to see that, but not sure whether we can in Australia.  Anyone know?

Food Inc aired in Melbourne about a month ago.  Not sure about elsewhere
