my new favorite vegetable

The English cucumber and I have recently become best friends.  They taste SO good.  It is a vegetable you can buy in the winter that still packs a refreshing, summer-like taste, or in other words; a risk-free option to satisying the need to taste some veggie freshness when your local farmstand is closed.

For some reason I was never a fan of the English cucumber, but this winter I have been enjoying them.  I slice them up and eat them with hummus for lunch and add them to salads for dinner.  They are said to be sweeter than regular cucumbers.  I could buy that.  They also have thinner skin, which make them easier to digest.

Now all I have to do is be careful not to overdo it with the cucs.  I tend to get obsessed with certain foods and then never want to eat them again.  Unfortunately, this never happens with lobster, butter, or ice cream.  I would probably be twenty pounds lighter if it did...
