If you have a juicer, cucumbers are a great addition to a juice drink!

Hmm, I can’t find the cucumbers for the squash, gourd and watermelon vines in the garden, hee hee

Oh yum! I love homemade pickles! This is a sweet memory of mine from childhood. We had pickles and beets in our pantry year round.

How about a cold cucumber soup?

Saute 2 onions in butter for 5 minutes. Add 4 peeled, seeded and sliced cukes, 2 cups vegetable stock 2 tsp fresh (1 tsp dry) tarragon, 1 tsp vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt. Cover pot, bring to a boil, reduce and simmer until cukes are very tender.

Puree the soup, (add 1 bunch minced washed watercress, if you desire), let cool 15 minutes.

Whisk in 1 cup sour cream. Chill at least 3 hours. Very good if the flavors blend — you can prepare this the day before if you like.

Mmm mmm mmmmm.

Very ambitious! I hate cukes, but I like dill pickles.
