    Naw, just some leftovers. But I did make an English
    cucumber, Campari tomatoes, and shallots sliced
    thinly salad. Instead of oil, vinegar, and the
    addition of a smidge of sugar, I opted for creamy
    Italian dressing. Quite good and it got a 'Yum!'
    from a neighbor, too.

    Do you know what English cucumbers are called in the Netherlands?
    Cucumbers (komkommers), nothing English about them.


    I should look up why they are called "English" cucumbers,
    but I'm too lazy at the moment. I do know they are much
    longer, thinner, and much smaller seeds compared to regular
    cukes, which are delicious as well. I may be mistaken but
    I think some cucumbers are bred specifically to be turned
    into pickles.

    Here's some mangoes from my son's family's yard. It was picked from a
    monstrous tree that's way too big for their yard. It's going to have to
    be removed soon. The fruit is pretty awesome though. The mango skin
    contains an allergen similar to poison ivy so my wife can't touch the
    fruit. Luckily, the sap doesn't affect me.

    They've included a green mango in the box - that's very considerate of
    them. We can eat them with Shoyu and vinegar - if they're green and sour enough.
