I had an overload of lemon cucumbers and had no clue what to do with them. My google search lead me to Jillicious Discoveries blog and a post she wrote about lemon cucumbers. From there I did a search for bread and butter pickles using lemon cucumbers. I found this recipe and decided to give it a try with my lemon cucumblers. After all, isn't that how great recipes are created??? Just try this and this and this . Well my pickles turned out delicious. So I made a second batch and added a red pepper because in one of the photos at the recipe, I saw red. It could be a carrot for all I know but I put in a red pepper. It makes the jars very pretty. They have set on my counter for 3 days, now I must put them away. I think today is a good day to bake a chocolate zucchini cake. Yummm.
Remember the other day when I wrote about starting a fire in my microwave ? Well, I was adjusting the glass tray and it broke in about 20 pieces. Right in front of Hubby! I've been using it a little bit with the big ole burned out spot on the try but now I have to go to the repair place and order parts. Darn!
It's kind of a rainy cool day here today so I am going to bake a couple things and sew. And do some laundry.

Those pickles look yummy, Judy. I never heard of lemon cucumbers. Do they have a lemony flavor? Our water is turned off in the whole n'borhood today as they're working on something nearby. It's an odd feeling......
Looks like you've been quite busy. I had the pleasure of having my first lemon cucumber last year when a friend of ours gave us some from his garden. They were great! Hope you're having fun sewing.
