Mrs Growster's Mum would have been 100 today, and to celebrate in time honoured fashion, we had a favourite lunch of salmon and cucumber sandwiches and a glass of really good white!
Lots of memories, and laughs to boot - but, cucumber has started giving me 'nasties' after all these years...
Today I tried a new way to take on the delicacy, with a good peeling, a splash of Balsamic and white wine vinegars, a pinch of salt, and a few grains of brown sugar, all bottled up and left in the fridge for an hour or so!
Does anyone else get this 'problem', and have you any other remedies?
(The late Mrs Growster may well have known a few, but I can't ask her now, more's the pity, she was a gorgeous chum, a lovely looking, very funny lady and we loved her to bits)!
