HOT, HOT DAY AND CUCUMBERS GALORE!

It is unbearably hot out........so no one feels like cooking, especially me.  So today its BLT's.  I wish I could say they were made with fresh tomatoes out of my garden but I think it will be one more week for those.  BUT I have an abundance of cucumbers!  Now 40 years ago.........I used to can my own pickles but now days they are so cheap and good from the stores.......just can't bring myself to go through all the work.  So.........we will be eating fresh cucumbers for many days to come.  I do love them tho.  Try to think of different ways to fix them and here is one.

Slice you cucumbers into a good sized bowl and add salt.  Let sit a bit in frig........then stir in a little red wine vinegar and sliced red onions.  Now, add about a cup, depending on much you are making, of sour cream.  The best part...........I have an abundance of home grown dill also.......so chopped up a bunch of dill..........stirred in and let sit til time to eat our BLT's.  A great side dish.
