BTW thanks for the link to the book. I ordered it.
My mother used to slice ‘em thin (one of those handheld graters has a wide slicer on one side), and then chop up every leftover veg in the fridge, chop up some tomato and onion, then fry up some bacon, cut it all up into bits, and toss in the veggies, and do sort of a stir-fry. But it’s gotta be yellow squash, zukes just ruin it for me.
