I had two cucumbers I'd been ignoring in the fridge, and I happened to have sour cream on hand, to. This recipe caught my eye in the "3 recipes you'd like to have reviewed" thread, so I decided to give it a try. It was absolutely delicious. Very simple and refreshing. I'd imagine it would be wonderful in the summer with fresh-picked cucumbers. But as it's mid-January and in the 70's here, I was looking for something light. This was perfect. Thanks, BoxO'Wine...Great recipe! Also,anyone who lives near "The Boss" is okay in my book! lol :)

Update: My mother, BoxO'Wine passed away on April 23, 2009 after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful cook and is greatly missed. I am the DD that she has mentioned here quite frequently and have decided to continue her account. I also use RecipeZaar quite frequently as I learned about it from her. I strive to make her recipes; however, they will never be the same. I am also leaving all her own biographical information in here that she had.

My son lives in Georgia (he talks funny) and my two daughters live near me in New Jersey. I am a retired politician, but I still have a real job. Looking forward to full retirement in about 2 yrs or so and if my children don't force me into the "home" I will be spending my social security checks in Atlantic City casinos. I have chemically enhanced blonde hair which is currently spiked to match my weird sense of humor and beverage du jour. Obviously I am a wino. White please, preferably chardonnay.
