Ode to Cucumber
This recipe is especially for Teresa, who has an abundance of huge cucumbers and tasty tomatoes in her garden this year, a friend with a prolific garden is a good thing! Teresa has shared some of her abundance with me. I'll be drying her tomatoes today and trying to fit cucumbers in to every meal I serve. :)

YUMMMMMMMMM! I am so making some this afternoon!!! thanks for sharing!
Thank you my friend, I enjoyed sharing with you and all my friends! Have a great day!
Sounds delicious...I will have to get some!!!
Another great thing to do with cucmbers is bread salad
Sliced cucumbers, wedges of tomatoes, and wedges of onion in a bowl...chunks of bread (like homemade crouton size) and oil and vinegar, salt & pepper ....sometimes we eat this without the bread, but I really LOVE it with the bread....like a good Ciabatta....mmmmm
Sounds so good, Carrie! I will HAVE to try it.
