This bad boy got away from me when I wasn't looking -- it's 10" long and
2-1/2" diameter. I haven't cut it to see how seedy it is inside --
plenty, I'm guessing.

Any swell ideas?

What variety of cucumber? If it's a "telegraph" cucumber then it might
not be all that seedy.

My mother made something similar to watermelon pickles with them -- called
Slippery Jims, I think.

Make tzictki. I just know that spelling's off. It's cucumber dip. Slice &
salt a tiny bit & drain. If you don't want that bother, then just peel some
parts, seed if absolutely necessary, rough chop, sling in the fp with a hunk
of cream cheese at room temp, a garlic clove or six and a carton or so of
sour cream. I usually thicken mine with one (count'em) one envelope of plain
gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of warm white wine or water. Can be spiced with
a *little* cumin or mint. Or a little fresh basil. Go easy on the spices
here. Makes a great cold dressing for spicy meat sammiches. Or dip or salad
dressing.

Dolls that my granddaughter is not allowed to own because her mom thinks
they're trashy.

Tzaziki sauce. That was about all I could think of, too. Thanks for
the "recipe." My kind of cooking. Thanks, Miz Edrena.

Huh. I have a vague memory of something like that -- wish I could
remember who and where I heard it.

Oh, darlin' - in every woman's life there is a bad boy that gets away
when she isn't looking. 10 inches, too, you have my sympathy ... and
envy.

I don't know the varietal. I think if I had a garden full of them
(more than the one hill I have), it'd be a good pickler. Normally I
pick them when they're about 8" long and about 1-1/4" diameter. This
was, as I said, got away from me -- hiding in the bush.

That happened to me Thursday. That cucumber was so heavy, I could have
used it for a club. LOL I sliced it, scraped out most of the seeds and I
made a cucumber salad.
