My neighbor used the chain link fence that runs down my driveway separating her house from mine to grow a cucumber vine upon. It grew several fat cucumbers just hanging down. I would show you a picture of the one I selected for a meal, after I asked my neighbor if I could have one, but this blog stopped importing pictures from my computer a few months ago and aside from pictures already in my blog posts, I can't get pictures to populate here anymore. (Shrug)
I cut off the cucumber and hurried inside. I had already laid out three plate with slices of sour dough bread on them. After I rinsed off the cucumber, I slathered a little bit of light mayo on the bread slices and partially peeled the cucumber, making it look striped. I sliced the cucumber medium thick and laid a single layer of sliced cucumbers on the bread and sprinkled a light dusting of sea salt on them.
I put the top slice of bread on the creation and enjoyed a delicious sandwich which was very filling. The key was eating the sandwich within five minutes of taking the cucumber off the vine. I took the other two sandwiches next door for the lady whose cucumber I used and her husband. They said they enjoyed it very much, that previously they had only created a vinegar brine for cucumber slices to enjoy them that way.
The next day my neighbor brought me a cucumber sandwich she had made with a fresh cucumber in the same way but with additions. She added guacamole to the sandwich along with finely chopped red onions, which made the sandwich even more tasty than my simpler sandwich was. The possibilities are endless. And I didn't have to travel further than my driveway in these perilous times to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.
