My neighbor gave me a couple of summer squashes from his garden last night.
I've only seen the ones that look like yellow zucchini. What variety are
these, and what's a good way to cook them? I was thinking of maybe
slicing, oiling, and grilling.
Then there's this terrifying spider that's in my bathroom. I don't mind
the light brown daddy long legs types with the 1.5" bent legs (never saw
them before moving here). But I'm scared of the ones that are fast, fast,
fast! This one is about a half inch long, and very black. I don't
routinely kill critters, but if the spider can harm us, I should probably
get rid of it. The picture isn't great, because I was too scared to get
any closer.
I'd appreciate any help with either of these. Click on the yellow squash:

The squash is yellow crookneck. I love them boiled with onion and a
dab of bacon grease. Plenty of black pepper.

That is a crookneck squash. I usually saute' chunks and use salt and
pepper for seasoning.

UGH!!! I hate spiders. It's not a brown recluse because I've been bitten
by one, nasty little f*ckers. I had a giant, infected crater on my calf
for weeks. I don't know what kind this is. Try trapping it in a jar and
throw it outside.

Hate to contradict people, but they are straightneck squash, not crookneck,
says Farmer Dora. They're cooked the same way, though. You can grill,
sauté in butter, or even simmer gently in butter. Dill is a good addition,
too.

Ugh. I hate crawlies. The vacuum idea sounds good, though - I usually
chase them down and bash them with a sledgehammer. We have a variety of
cricket that gives me the creeps. They *stare* at me (literally) and can
jump a mile high. I've found the only way to kill those suckers is to drop
a book on them from above (they can't look up, apparently).

Thanks for looking that up! I had only seen the straightneck yellow summer
squash up until now.
And Burpee has the spearmint seeds we've been looking for all spring and
summer in local stores. You can buy peppermint, and you can buy mint, but
nothing designated as spearmint. We're going to plant it along the north
side of the house. We're planting the mint along our foundation, and when
it spreads, all we have to do is mow right over it, and the whole
neighborhood will smell minty fresh. :)

MMMMM! I smuggled a small zucchini into the house for today's lunch, to
be eaten with leftover crawfish/shrimp étouffée.

This sounds like something the SO did last night. This morning I found
the glass cover to the office light fixture on the front porch. Turns
out it was a nice incubator for baby spiders, and SO was liberating
them--to feed the birds. So much for having compassion for
invertebrates.

I'd just vacate the premises, call in the armed guards, and fumigate
with an AK-7 or something that would guarantee the thing was blown up ;)
Spiders are nothing to mess with. They are horrid critters if you ask
me. Now DH would just swat the thing all while he laughs at my
hysterics. Don't even get me going on snakes!

That's a scary looking one, too. Three, four. ARGH! I have Pastorio's

Anyway, sf found the identity of this one. It's a Parson Spider.

If someone had seen me when I first spotted that thing, they'd have thought
I was having a seizure. I'm pretty proud of how well I do around most
spiders nowadays. But this sucker freaked me out, bigtime. (I'm scared of
snakes, too)

Hey Dams :-)
It's kinda hard to tell with the spider...could be a Parson or a common
black house spider. How big is it? Neither one is known to be venomous,
although they both will bite in the right circumstances. Parsons generally
like to stay hidden during daytime. As a general rule, I only get rid of
spiders that are either venomous or really big and ugly! lol We get alot of
the common house spiders, orb weavers etc, but they take care of more
annoying insects so I don't worry about them.
Last summer I had spent the day at my mom's, who had had 4 tarantulas in her
house since moving in. Later that night I discovered one apparently hitched
a ride home with me, because while my husband and I were snuggled on the
couch watching a movie I suddenly saw something large and black moving
across the floor. There weren't any lights on in the room, just the light
from the tv screen. I just about screamed :) I turned on the light and when
my husband stood up, it reared up, waving the two front legs up in the air.
I grabbed a canning jar and he captured our intruder and released him into
the canyon behind the house.
Now about that squash...looks like a yellow squash to me. Similar in taste
and texture to a yellow crookneck squash. Great brushed with a flavored
olive oil or avocado oil, like blood orange or meyer lemon, then grilled.
Also works well for stirfry.
Enjoy :)

Most spiders don't bother me, or snakes. But centipedes? I'm at least able
to control myself to just a small squeal as I rush to get a tissue

I like spearmint better than mint although obviously each has its place.
When you get some useable spearmint, rinse it and bruise it a bit and toss
it in the jar of sun tea--lovely.

Well, I found out the name of the spider species that I'm the most afraid
of. Jumping Spiders. I can still remember the nightmare I had about them
hopping off a wall onto me. Hundreds of them. I must have been all of 4
years old when I had that dream. I've been terrified ever since.
http://www.extension.umn.edu/distri...ing/DK1033.html
sf suggested that it might be a Parson Spider. She provided a link, and
that was the spider! Here are more pictures from an excellent site:

We've got lots of centipedes in our basement. They're the kind that look
like worms, so they don't bother me at all.

Regular olive oil will be fine. Are you going to sprinkle a couple of

I have a pact with spiders... don't bother me and I won't bother you.
That means if they're discrete and build their webs behind my blinds
(which are always in the down postition) I'll leave them alone. If
they venture out into the room, they're history.

You're welcome! And you'd better believe it, those suckers stare. Also,
they're not flat on the ground like a regular cricket - they're raised up on
their little buggy legs and can jump up high and forward at the same time -
that's why I feel like a target. Got them fooled, though, with those heavy
books.
We've a variety of spiders but I don't have a clue which species they are -
it's a little hard to tell when I've squashed them flat.

Thou shalt counteth to the number of three, and three shall be
the number of thy counting. Thou shalt not counteth to four,
nor shalt thou count to two excepting that thou then
proceedeth onward to three. Five is right out...
