Evening Rose - can't say as we ever have seen that sign.. Did they have an extra large supply they were tryin' to move out in a hurry? :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Evenin'.... whoooweee I'm beat :~D

[JenB]

Beat? Is Rosie being mean to you? Funny, she was always such a nice quiet sort when she lived here...

[HairOfTheDog]

Huh - well she's workin' me to death here :~D

[JenB]

See... you just gotta work on bein' lazy. Me, I'd go hide. Many a Saturday morning I spent in bed while she was up and ready to seize the day.

[JenB]

This is going to be a scary thread.

[Rose in RoseBear]

<laughing> Not so's you'd notice.

You can stuff a cucumber, you know ... I've always wanted to try a cream cheese-bacon mix ...

[RosieCotton]

Maybe with some horseradish in there, too?

[SuziQ]

You can just give him a big smile, and tell him sweetly, "Oh you don't have to go to any trouble about the yard. I love gardening and would be happy to do all that."

[RosieCotton]

Heh...I can *try* that.

It's interesting communicating with the guy. He's nice and all...but it's interesting.

I'm wondering if the tires will even really work for taters now. I think the reason they're supposed to work really well is because black tires hold in heat so well. White ones, on the other hand...

[Rose in RoseBear]

Mr. Guido will call it "Lizabeth's Cucumber Sandwich" because of the horseradish ...

Or, how about wasabi?

[RosieCotton]

Mmmm...wasabi...

Yeah, that could work.

I have a great recipe for a Japanese cucumber salad; 3 cukes, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds, then cut crosswise into thin slices. Mix together 1/3 cup white rice vinegar, 4 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and a little chopped fresh ginger. Pour over the cucumber slices and marinade for at least 2 hours. You can substitute white vinegar for the rice vinegar, but you might want to dilute it with a little water.

When I can get good tomatoes, I'll cube one up in the salad; vey tasty.

There was a tea room in Tallahassee that made a delicious shrimp salad. One of their secrets was that they grated cucumber into it in almost the same quantity as the shrimp. It increased the bulk of the salad, but didn't take away from the taste of the shrimp. I would imagine you could do the same using fresh crab.

Mmmm.

[ExGeeEye]

I remember HEB...

...and the first time "Harry Butts" showed up on my bank statement...

[Rose in RoseBear]

Of course you do! Mr. Butt's stores!

[ExGeeEye]

Oy...

"Tie me kangaroo down, sport..."

Like I said, oy...

[ExGeeEye]

Let's try to keep it PG!

I have had them on the sandwiches too...but I've never had them cooked. I have heard of a cucumber soup, but even it is chilled, I believe!

Yuck...every southern bone in body is recoiling at the thought of a fried cuke!

[2Jedismom]

HEB is a great place to shop...I missed HEB when we moved to OK. I don't know if they have them anywhere in OK, but they don't around here.
