So a friend's grandmother, who is not quite as sharp as she once was, was asked by a neighbor if she liked cucumbers. When she said yes, the neighbor gave her five of them. Alas, the grandmother doesn't actually like cucumbers at all. I can think of several possible reasons for her to say yes under these circumstances, but the world may never know which was the most important. In fact, I guarantee it won't. Anyway, this is how I scored two cucumbers, though my garden stopped producing them a couple of weeks ago. Cucumber slices are pretty good on sandwiches, and will go nicely with the sweet peppers that our garden is still producing.
