Good luck!
I just saw a recipe a couple of days ago for a cucumber/radish salsa to put on top of grilled fish. Or do the old "stand by" - sliced cucumbers in vinegar as a nice summer side dish.
Wow! Looks like cucumbers on steroids :)
I am sorry about the bad luck genie hanging around your house too! I had a friend tell me once, that bad things happened in 3's!! It sure seems like that,
or 4's or
5's.......
I guess once everything goes downhill that only way for it to go from there is uphill :)
Hope you have a great day today, and that you get to do something fun!!
p.s. happy belated birthday to your son!! What a character :)
These also looked really good to me. http://windowontheprairie.com/?s=refrigerator+pickles
Let us know if you try these.
Jeepers creepers! Those are some huge cucumbers you have there! :)
I think the same thing happened to my kids! :o)
so you can totally answer a question I've had for the longest time. My brother told me that when produce gets THAT oversized that it tastes awful. IS IT TRUE OR NO?
