On August 22, I spent sometime making cucumber and mint water. We been drinking a lot of it. It is cool and refreshing after gardening and yard work.
Bruce is a snack person, so I try to make healthy snacks for him. I had read something about cucumber chips some time ago. I looked them up and they seemed easy to make. Instead of a mandolin, I used my food processor to slice the cucumbers. It went through them very fast.
I patted the cucumber slices dry and put the slices in a bowl. I added the salt, apple vinegar, and a small amount of oil to the bowl. I tossed everything together. I placed the slices on the trays of my old Ronco dehydrator. I left the cucumber slices to dehydrate overnight.
I made a Greek salad without lettuce.
I had noticed a recipe for a Pierogi Cassarole while looking for more cucumber recipes and decided to give the Pierogi Cassarole a try. It was amazing comfort food. Bringing it to a potluck would make you a star. I made Mizeria (Polish Cucumbers in Sour Cream to go with it.
I did not take any pictures, so I am just going to end with the previous day’s sunset.
