What variety of cucumber? If it's a "telegraph" cucumber then it might
not be all that seedy.

Well, considering the diameter, I'd say stick with vaginal. Too large
for anal.

Make tzictki. I just know that spelling's off. It's cucumber dip. Slice &
salt a tiny bit & drain. If you don't want that bother, then just peel some
parts, seed if absolutely necessary, rough chop, sling in the fp with a hunk
of cream cheese at room temp, a garlic clove or six and a carton or so of
sour cream. I usually thicken mine with one (count'em) one envelope of plain
gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of warm white wine or water. Can be spiced with
a *little* cumin or mint. Or a little fresh basil. Go easy on the spices
here. Makes a great cold dressing for spicy meat sammiches. Or dip or salad
dressing.

when she isn't looking. 10 inches, too, you have my sympathy ... and

I don't know the varietal. I think if I had a garden full of them
(more than the one hill I have), it'd be a good pickler. Normally I
pick them when they're about 8" long and about 1-1/4" diameter. This
was, as I said, got away from me -- hiding in the bush.

That happened to me Thursday. That cucumber was so heavy, I could have
used it for a club. LOL I sliced it, scraped out most of the seeds and I
made a cucumber salad.

Make a middle eastern cucumber salad. Grate it up and drain it then stir it
into some yoghurt, garlic and mint, or turmeric.

They *are* trashy, in the sense that your DiL is talking about. They
glorify sluttiness.

Bowie lyrics, quite relevant:


David Bowie - Oh, You Pretty Things Lyrics


Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden Ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of the coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mothers and fathers insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Got garlic? got yogurt?

Seed the cucumber well, chop or grate coarsely, salt, drain, rinse, add
garlic, yogurt, ground pepper and make tsatsiki.

This is probably a stupid question, but here goes. How do you drain a
cucumber? I squeeze excess moisture from grated zucchini by putting a
little salt on it, letting it sit for a half hour, then rinsing and
squeezing. Is it the same principle?

For me, it is the same as for an eggplant or zucchini. However, with a
cucumber, I peel it, cut it lengthwise into 4 pieces, then I slice out the
seeds. At that point, I chop each long piece into slices. Slicing out the
seeds, is just my way of doing it, like some squeeze out the seeds a tomato
keeping it from being too juicy.

A tip that some do use, is that they cut the cucumber into two long pieces,
then use a melon ball-er to scrape out the seeds. Just another way to get
the seeds out.

I forget what vegetable I saw on ATK (America's Test Kitchen) the other day
that they added salt to, but I was amazed at the amount of water that came
out in 20 MINUTES. (Senior moment - sorry.)

Asian cucumber salad. Peel, seed, and slice said bad boy. Toss with a
little sugar, salt, and rice wine vinegar. You can then add Thai basil,
mint, cilantro, or whatever fresh herb is taking over your garden.

This is from the Settlement Cookbook.
Sweet Pickled Ripe Cucumbers -- Senf Gurken (A ripe cucumber is not only
large, but has turned yellow as well)
1 dozen ripe cucumbers
3 pounds sugar
salt
1 quart vinegar
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
1 tablespoon cloves
stick cinnamon
Peel cucumbers, cut in two, lengthwise, scrape out seeds, sprinkle with salt
and let stand overnight. Drain and dry. Make a syrup by boiling sugar and
cloves, all tied in a bag. Boil cucumbers in this syrup only until they are
glassy. They must remain crisp. Pack in sterilized jars and seal. I
remember the Slippery Jims as being cut long and thin, sort of the size of a
French Fry.
Come to think of it, my mother also used to fry/sauté cucumbers but I don't
remember much about it except the cooked mixture was a caramelized brown and
had a sauce, kinda sweet and vinegary I think. I think it was called
something like (forgive German spelling) Gesmeckta Gurken? If you find a
recipe for something like this around Minneapolis, I would appreciate it if
you would pass the recipe on to me. I never did get my mother's recipe box
and a lot of what she cooked came from her head -- what she knew from her
mother and the farm life around MN.

They are the "new" Barbie - except they are Hoochy dolls. Think about
it. Young parents are dressing their girls to look like mini-hookers
these days, so a doll was soon to follow suit!

There's a version of this recipe in Steve Raichlen's Barbeque Bible that
I like a lot, listed as: "Balinese Cucumber Salad". This version uses
English cukes, chopped sweet onions, rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt,
mint, and a topping of toasted chopped peanuts. Very delish, and a
refreshing complement to spicy grilled stuff. Whenever I make this
salad for a party, it just evaporates...

I lost my true love for a banana. She said he was just so cute and yellow -
and he had a peal. My baby just slipped away.

Thanks.


I don't know which vegetable you saw on America's Test Kitchen, but I'm
frequently surprised by how much water comes out of salted zucchini.

OK, that sounds like what I'd typically do with a cuke for "salad" ‹ the
way Mom used to make them. Is rice wine vinegar milder? Might have to
try that; I usually use cider or white. Thanks, Cindy.

Peanuts, huh? How wet is this stuff, Julian? Do you drain the
cukes/onions before topping with the nuts? Thanks.

Got it! I've only ever had the tsatsiki stuff on gyros. Where else
would it be appreciated? Dannon yogurt is on sale for 20
cents/container this week and I picked up a coupla non-fat littles --
plain, so I do have them.
