Cucumbers and sour cream...

1 cucumber sliced very thin (use a mandolin if you have one)
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
½ tbsp. of sugar
½ tbsp. of salt
a sprinkle of pepper
thinly-sliced onion to taste
½ cup of sour cream
Throw everything into a bowl, mix it up, put it into a covered container and throw it into the fridge. It's great after it sits cold for awhile. Here's a pic I found on teh Google machine which looks pretty accurate. I think there is some German or Austrian origin to this but not sure.

You must have many acres of unused land. I planted exactly ONE and I have to keep it trimmed back or else it will cross the fence and attack the Klopeks. I also posted a good cucumber dip recipe in here so you have 2 recipes for all those cucs. Now you need 45 more! Cheers.Nice. I planted 16 cucumber plants so I need recipes I have been harvesting like 12 a day...
Also: I have read that some people mix up everything in a bowl EXCEPT THE SOUR CREAM and let it sit for about an hour in the fridge and then they strain out the liquid. Then they add the sour cream and mix it all up. My 2 batches were a little "thin" in the consistency department so I could see this working. I suppose it depends on how much water is in your cucs. Cheers.

LOL. We have a 1/3 acre lot. I devoted about 900 sq. ft. to the garden. It's a little ridiculous...

Yeah, it's outrageous how many cucs you get from a plant. There are at least 20 small-to-medium jobbies hanging off of my one plant right now and my guess is that they will be picked this week. Have you been collecting recipes for cucumber omelettes, cucumber chip cookies and the like?This is today's harvest...

Here is my recipe for this dish.
Lots of cukes, peeled and sliced.
1-2 vadalia onions sliced thin.
Put a handfull of each in a bowl and sprinkle some canning salt on them, like 1/2-1/3tsp. Keep doing this until you've added all the cukes and onions to the bowl. Put it together in the morning. Leave it out on a counter all day and every time you walk buy, stir it. You'll notice water start to accumulate in the bowl. In the evening, drain the water off. Add about 3/4 cup sour cream, a few turns of a pepper grinder, and a handfull of dill chopped up. Stir in thoroughly and let sit overnight.
Dewatering the cukes makes all the difference in this dish. It will never get runny on you after sitting in the fridge for a day or 2.
Serve the next day.
