I bought the ingredients required by the recipe and generally made ready for the coming of the loaf, but when I paid a visit to my zucchini-in-residence I was disappointed to find him limp, flaccid and generally uninspiring. A replacement was needed, and considering that I had already sunk a significant amount of time and energy into this venture I thought it quite appropriate to nip out and pick myself up a quick courgette at the local supermarket.
