It is way too much of a PITA (pain in the you know what) for me these days in my life, being a newly graduated law school girl myself<br /><br />BUT, since you seem to like that flavor so much, and you love to eat cucumbers every way just like I do, you might like a sauce that I do: I often eat thick cucumber slices in a yogurt sauce I make with just some minced or chopped garlic, cumin, and lemon or lime juice. Also add a little salt, if needed. It is also a really great dip for sweet potato fries if you don't make them sweet and make the fries with a rub of, say, cumin, paprika, s&p and a touch of cayenne. <br /><br />You can use that type of yogurt sauce on tacos, too, in place of sour cream. I have mostly switched over to yogurt sauces in our house for health benefits and find that it is delicious when blended that way.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the recipe!Sirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001542103226231007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-60396392670563628632009-06-10T07:18:16.392-05:002009-06-10T07:18:16.392-05:00Jenn - it is great to have you here!

I still harbor dark thoughts about yeast breads after watching a show that was a breadmaking troubleshooting episode and noted that the loaf I'd been happy with featured fully 3 of 5 "most common failures" of home baked breads. Sigh. I like your motto and am inspired to try to conquer that fear now.....once it cools off a bit again (safely well into Oct.).

I didn't do it for YEARS becuse of a fear of yeast, it was too hard, it wouldn't taste good, it takes too long, etc...<br /><br />BUT, in the last year I have made several breads, and home made english muffins, and they all came out great! Face the Fear!! That's become my motto!<br /><br />I just came to your blog for the first time. My brother is Charlie from Back to the Fridge, I saw you on his blog roll.
