Tina's Zucchini Bread - and a funny story - Southern Plate
"The first time I ever made Zucchini bread was on July 5, 1999. I put it in the oven around 8:05 PM. Around 8:10 my son decided he was ready to be born. My first thought was "BUT I JUST PUT ZUCCHINI BREAD IN THE OVEN!". After a frantic phone call to Mama (who we lived just across from the street at the time), I left for the hospital confident that my bread would be taken out of the oven when the timer was up. About seventeen hours later I was treated to my first taste - and boy was I hungry by then!..."
