first fruit

I harvested the first cucumber from my garden this morning, and we had it for lunch. It was good -- not astounding, but better than I've been getting from the supermarket.

Another day in the sun would have been good for it, but I was impatient. I'm going to give the next two more time to ripen, and hope for sunshine tomorrow or Sunday.

Nice!

I tend to be a bit of a traditionalist with cucumber and usually create a vinaigrette from my many versions (I have an egg allergy so vinegars are a must for dressings).
