These pizza boats are a great idea! Low calorie too. I really don't know the answer to any of the questions. Definitely a fail for me!

I feel like I'm a contestant on "The Chase"! :)

Without research I think I got about half the August quizz.
I do like zucchini - so long as they are young and tender.

Nice recipe and a fun quiz. Have a great week, take care, Valerie

Jo said...

I'll have to guess a few of those this month, I only know three for sure. We used to make something similar when we had a glut of courgettes from the allotment but I don't think we've had them since giving the allotment up, I must remember to add it back to the menu as it's a tasty meal.
