You can't go wrong combining lime and chili and dolloping it on some kind of juicy veggie or fruit--I completely agree with you. <BR/><BR/>Kate: August is meditative here. The heat slows everything down, but that means the garden just demands more careful observation. Are the grasshoppers wonderful to watch?<BR/><BR/>Lucy: I'm glad you enjoyed the Fallen Fruit point of view. I need to learn more about that organization because I think it would be fun to get involved with them. And yes, I love to share what my little plot grows.<BR/><BR/>Shaun: You're welcome. I'd love to hear how Eric makes his salad. And yesterday, I think I caught a glimpse of your wave. Thank you for thinking of me. I hope you're return to California has been pleasant.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-42667694373219780172007-08-09T13:29:00.000-07:002007-08-09T13:29:00.000-07:00Christina - Thanks for the snapshots of your lovel...Christina - Thanks for the snapshots of your lovely garden and for the cucumber salad recipe, always great respite from the Summer sun. Eric makes a delicious cucumber salad, too, that I should learn how to make and share with you. We were in Pasadena yesterday. I waved, not knowing where you live of course but knowing you were in the general area.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345640038135299538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-8603031212792826472007-08-08T16:58:00.000-07:002007-08-08T16:58:00.000-07:00Hadn't heard about the people at Fallen Fruit, but...Hadn't heard about the people at Fallen Fruit, but what a fantastic manifesto.

There are more things happening in my garden in August, I think, than in July.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipe...

And a nice take on cucumbers. Another simple, different take on them is to cut them into chunks or spears and sprinkle them with lime juice and chili powder. refreshing with a little zing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-59020699987090025172007-08-07T17:51:00.000-07:002007-08-07T17:51:00.000-07:00Ann: You're welcome.
