We are celebrating our first ripened tomatoes by having BLTs tonight.

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
So, I actually made it and then did a taste test: Your raw veggie marinade vs DH's favorite sauce, Bachan's Japanese Barbeque Sauce. He uses it on EVERYTHING--it's his version of ketchup. Frankly, I don't like his sauce. It's too pungent and salty.Originally Posted by happystuff
So your marinade was the clear winner as far as I'm concerned... it's flavorful without being overwhelming. I used it on my homegrown cucumber. I haven't had a chance to try it on DH yet, but I will! (Last night he brought home pizza unexpectedly).

That's an annual tradition that is just a ciuple of days away for me. It's the only time of the year when I eat bacon and have a few strips of WF black forest for the occasion when it comes.

Glad it worked!
I am finding that, as watery as cucumbers are, the marinade does seem to be "lighter" than when first made. I did remove the seeds from my big cucumbers, hoping it would be less watery over time.

I learned that cucumber recipe years ago when I took a Chinese cooking class. Our instructor cut cucumbers into thin matchstick pieces and used that same simple dressing. I haven’t made it in a long time so thanks for the reminder. we have a bunch of cucumbers, sitting on the counter here.
Went to a Farmers Market this morning. Got some REALLY expensive gourmet type burgers. Dh had his whole (they are huge!) I split mine into two and it was great! Also have leftovers to go along. Very good.

Lasts night was eggplant "pizza" - round of eggplant with slice of tomato and mozzerella cheese. Turned out well.
Planning - so far- on portabella mushroom burger tonight.

We are going swimming at the state park and then out for seafood, son and granddaughters, so it should be great.
Oh, that sounds great!
I think we're having garden-fresh tomato and cheese sandwiches.

I am impressed. I only have green tomatoes.
Son had lobster roll, girls and I had haddock sandwiches and French fries. 84 dollars for five people. I guess that's a once a summer kind of treat! It was fun to play tourist.
