This year I decided to try container gardening, with veggies. I researched it and ended up planting tomatoes and cucumbers in two recycling bins. (I’ll get pics of them later. Promise!)
To be honest, at first I was more excited about the tomatoes than the cucumbers, but it turns out that I like eating fresh cucumbers a LOT!! Apparently I’m getting old, and the acid in tomatoes isn’t so grand. *Le sigh*
Cucumbers grow fast, so I usually get to pick 1-2 each day to eat. They’re a lot better when they’re still small and uber-crunchy, but they like to hide under the giant cucumber plant leaves. When that happens, I only find them when they’re the standard grocery-store size. Not as tasty for straight up nomming.
But they ARE good for cucumber samiches. ^_^ So yesterday I took one of the giant ninja cucumbers and sliced it up. Then I took some fresh bread that I made last night, sliced it very thinly, added mayo and pepper, and piled on the cucumbers! (And added more pepper!) Such a simple thing, but omg… delicious!!!!
It’s a small plate and they were small samiches, but they were soooooooooo good! This was the first time I’d tried them on my homemade bread, and it was beyond my best expectations. Now I’ll just have to keep bread on hand for cucumber samiches for the rest of the summer.
I can totally do that. XD
