Bryan found the first mid-summer crop in the garden yesterday—two giant cucumbers that we probably should have located and picked last week. I had no idea they’d be ready so soon—we just finished the peas and lettuce a couple of weeks ago.
Bryan chopped up the cucumbers with onions and tossed them into a mixture of vinegar, sugar, water and salt. The recipe suggested that this marinade could be kept all summer—just add more cucumbers as needed. Those of you who know Bryan won’t be surprised when he tosses it after a mere 48 hours.
