Hi, PJ. I am inspired - I am going to make this tomorrow, as my take-along contribution to a tea party on Friday. But I need you to clarify one point for me on this recipe. You mentioned 8 ounces of shredded zucchini but the printed version said 12 ounces. So how many ounces is two cups of shredded zucchini? I could have done the weighing test myself, but I bet you have the info handy. Right? Thanks. Ah, zucchini. We have been going round and round on the volume:weight conversion. The differences are all due to the size of the zucchini you are using and the size of the grater. The larger the zucchini, the more fibrous and "wet" the flesh. The grater used influences the "pack" in the measuring cup. PJ retested this again the other day. We're going to stick with the 1 cup:8 ounce conversion, this causes the least amount of variance. Frank @ KAF. Anne, if you just measure the zucchini by volume, not weight, you won't need to worry, OK? Some zukes are juicier (thus heavier) than others... Sorry for the confusion. PJH
