  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      pounds        Ripe plum tomatoes
   3      pounds        Firm zucchini
     1/2  cup           Dried bread crumbs
     1/4  cup           Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
   2      tablespoons   Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
   1      tablespoon    Chopped fresh thyme
   1      tablespoon    Chopped fresh oregano
                        Salt -- to taste
                        Freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
     1/4  cup           Fruity olive oil

Slice the tomatoes and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick round slices, as uniformly
as you can.  On a cookie sheet or ovenproof platter, overlap the tomato and
zucchini in a decorative pattern, like red and green shingles on a gingerbread
house.  Blend all the dry ingredients together, then scatter them evenly over
the tomatoes and zucchini.  Sprinkle the olive oil on top and bake in a 375
degree oven until golden and crusty, about 20 minutes. Present the platter or
sheet at the table, using a cake server or metal spatula to slide several
overlapping pieces onto each diner's plate.
