I am breaking with tradition and actually getting my menu plan up in a timely fashion. It’s amazing all of the things I decide to do when I know I’m supposed to be filing insurance claims. I’ve already cleaned the kitchen and have hazelnut meringues in the oven as I type, which are essentially using Heather’s yummy recipe...
This week’s host is Esther of Lilac Kitchen, and her ingredient is cucumber. I love cukes, but they don’t love me. I am growing some, though (see above!). These are a bunch smaller than the first ones. We were having so much rain that the first few I got were HUGE–8-9 inches long and really thick, too. I’ll have to water more often if I want the big ones again!
