I made a spread the other day. Sour cream, salt, pepper, crushed garlic maybe 3 large cloves. And a medium sized peeled cucumber. Cut out the seeds and shred. Started with just a cup and a half of sour cream. Had it on light crusty bread toasted and some seared lamb chunks topped with chopped greens, onions and a couple of cherry tomatoes. The sauce is great. If you have a juicer I would be juicing that many cucumbers and drinking it.

Great thinking! I don’t have a juicer, but I have a very powerful blender. They suggested Cucumber Smoothies/Juice Drinks on one of the sites I visited. ‘Pineapple Cucumber’ sounds really good to me!

Got a jug of Cucumber & Lemon Water chilling in the fridge.
Made a dip similar to the one you posted about - have cuke chunks and carrot sticks for dipping. I accidentally bought Ithaca a FIVE POUND bag of carrots last week - must’ve clicked the wrong button - so Carrots are the next thing on hand to use up. Yes, he’d eat them all, but he’s got to share with ME. They’re nice carrots from Bolthouse.
I have everything on hand for that Cucumber Smoothie (with frozen banana and pineapple chunks!) for Beau’s treat before bedtime. ;)
I have all I need to make the Bread and Butter Pickles and also the Jalapeno Pickle Relish, so I’ll see if Mom will help me with those on Monday.
I told Beau tonight that while he’s still home from Bear Camp* that EVERY meal between now and when he hits the road again comes with this adage:
‘NOW WITH EXTRA CUCUMBERS!’ LOL!
