pasta with zucchini and mint

ok, so.....i was perusing the nytimes this morning, and there was a lovely photo of a pasta dish that can be made out of waning summer ingredients......which in my case are long-gone ingredients....the zucchini shriveled and died a while back, and i ripped out the leggy mint which was out-of-control in the bed where i have moved many roses in my latest re-terracing project.....i have no doubt that this mint is not gone forever......mint is a faustian bargain of culinary proportions.....but at this very minute i have no edible mint.....what i do have is a major case of the saturday morning lazies.....while i know deep down that i really need to get dressed and drive the truck to lowes to buy mulch to finish all of the plant rotations that i started last weekend.....that and run by the aldi store for juice and a few sundries.....i continue to surf away on-line rather than do my saturday chores.....which will not include a nice lunch of zucchini and mint...unless of course the aldi has zucchini and i can substitute lemonbalm or basil.......
