Cucumbers!

I am attempting to grow cucumbers this year.  I always try a new kind of vegetable to grow each year...this year I am going to try two: cucumbers and eggplant.  So I may be putting the cart before the horse considering that my cucumbers now are the size of tiny caterpillars, but I am gearing up for some cucumbers by collecting some tasty recipes!  Here are a few that use that crunchy, cool veggie.
