The attack of Larry Boy!

AAACK! I am totally being overrun by CUCUMBERS! I am serious, there are more cucumbers coming out of my garden than I could possibly keep up with! I am really running out of ways to use them too! This morning after checking the garden I had 18 stacked on my counter, some as long as my forarm. 18 cucumbers! What the heck am I gonna do with that many! My kitchen counter looks like a breeding ground for Larry the cucumber's clones. I have become the crazy lady on the block who gives cucumbers to everyone who passes by her house. "hi there person walking by! want some cucumbers? PLEASE?"

Today I made 2 kinds of cold cucumber soup that were very good (even if the Yoakamites did not appreciate my culinary skills) and managed to use 12. then I made a batch of gazpacho that used another 1, still leaving 5. (yes I am a math wiz!) And then my friend stopped by to talk and I was able to dump a bunch on her! Yippee! I am cucumber free.............. until tomorrow when Larry's clones attack me again!
