Our neighbor Paul across the way spotted us a large zucchini from his garden, and Sam baked up a couple of loaves yesterday (with a lot of zucchini left over!) and noted that 3/4 of a cup of oil made for a better loaf texture than the 1 cup the recipe called for, so I've edited the recipe accordingly.
