The Menu:
Refrigerated Cucumber
I was going to make supper tonight when we were invited down to my dad's to eat. So, I am posting this a day late, but I did make something yesterday to share! Our garden is producing tons of cucumbers. I want to can bread and butter pickles, but until then, I wanted something to do with at least one of them. I talked to my step mom and this is what I got.
