• Cucumbers Take Over Kitchen

  A friend dropped off a glut of cucumbers today. (And I suspect a friend dropped them off with her.) Now I'm debating what to do with them.

  Have you attended a dirt tasting yet? A columnist from Britain's Guardian newspaper calls it "the latest import from the insane world of U.S. foodies." I confess, I'd never heard of such events.
