Two for Two

Cucumber Salads.

One for you and one for me. 

Peel and thinly slice cucumbers,

add salt to taste.

Place heavy weight on top of cucumbers and let stand for an hour.

Pour off liquid.

Add a dollop of sour cream and a small amount of sugar to taste.  

place in refrigerator until serving time.

Serve chilled and in crystal dishes. 

These dishes are more than 75 years old.  They belonged to my mother who always served this particular salad in these dishes. 

They are the only treasure I have from my home by the Baltic Sea.

  

This cucumber dish is Mr G 's favorite. 

Peel and slice cucumbers, pour light vinegar and water brine to cover.  Add salt and hot pepper flakes to taste.

Add onion rings. 
(Wash onion first).


   

Every time I pull an onion from my garden I am reminded of an evening in the South of France.


Have a great week my dear
