As you may, or may not, have noticed, I took a couple of days
off. It was much needed R ‘n R. I did virtually nothing with the exception of
reading (I have now finished my ninth book), stitching (I cannot tell you,
because it would be far too embarrassing, how many works in progress I have.),
and watching British cop shows. I enjoyed this time off much more than I should
have.
I didn’t pay much attention to the deck garden, so when I went out today, I was shocked to see that I had seven cucumbers ready to be picked. I brought them in and decided I needed to come up with a variety of ways in which to use them. Cucumber sandwiches were in order, to be sure, as well as a cucumber salad, and this refreshing chilled Spicy Cucumber Avocado Soup. It’s make ahead, and only gets better with age; it is so delectable and refreshing. It was the perfect thing to enjoy, mid afternoon, on this 96° day.
