Bakin', Cannin', and Cookin'

 It's been a very busy and productive day in the kitchen.

I made some of Jane Brownfield's zucchini bread.  I love this because you mix it in your blender.  But bad news...my glass part broke this evening when it slipped off the stand.  I don't know how but it did.  Bummer.

JANIE'S ZUCCHINI BREAD

Then Mark wanted some cucumber salad.  So the first recipe I made is what I call...

OLD SCHOOL CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS

Cut up two good size English cucumbers

Cut up a medium purple onion

Add a little bit of water.

Add some vinegar.

I add a little bit of sugar salt and pepper.

I have always just tasted the juice to get the right flavor.  That's how my mom and grandmother did it.

Oh but then I found a recipe for...

CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD

 2 long English cucumbers, peeled if you want

1/2 cup of sliced white onion

dressing

1/2 cup of sour cream or plain greek yogurt

3 Tablespoons of mayonaise

1/4 cup fo fresh dill chopped

3 Tablespoons of white vinegar

1/2 teaspoon if white sugar

salt to taste

Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving

We have cukes coming out our ears at the moment.  First batch were spicy pickles.

Next up some, Kosher dills.

I made Murph his own quart of spicy jalapeno pickles.
