thanks danny ,what do i do with the cucumber??????

[mazie]

LOL. well I'm not going to tell you slinky ;o)

[mccfluff]

if you have plain yougurt i'd be tempted to make a raita or tzatiki style dip with the yog, cuc,garlic and mint

[slinky.kate]

what can i use cucumber for other than a salad.

[slinky.kate]

fluffy can i freeze that,it sounds good

[mccfluff]

i'm mot sure if you can. I would think not but happy to be corrected

[dannyk13]

Being a gentleman prevents me from making any suggestions. You could however slice in half, scrape out the seeds,slice into 12 rounds, par boil and dry. the fry and just before it is cooked throw in some dill and serve.

Onions, tomatoes, chorizo & galric would make a cracking sauce for pasta, and will freeze.

Agree, mint, yogurt, cucumber and garlic for a raita/tzatziki (no it won't freeze)

Cabbage stirfired with onions, lardons & garlic.

Onions, carrots, turnip, celery soup, add a handful of lentils, rice, soup pasta to make it more hearty, shredded ham would be ok added at the end and serve with cheesy croutes. (will freeze)
