TESTING! TESTING! TESTING!
We need testing and tracking. That is the ONLY way we're going to get back to normal.
Now that I have had my say, let's take a break from this all consuming coronavirus news, which is scaring us all to death.
A few months ago I came across a wonderful cucumber salad recipe which I will share with all of you now. I discovered it as a leftover salad from an event at the hotel where I used to work. Where I hope I can go back to work someday. Yes, I do miss working at the hotel even though at times I didn't feel like going it. Working two days a week at the hotel gave my week structure. Often now I'm not sure what day it is.
Marinated Cucumber Onion Tomato Salad
1 cup water
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon fresh, coarsely ground back pepper
3 cucumbers, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 onion, sliced and separated into rings
1) whisk water, vinegar, oil, sugar and pepper together in a large bowl until smooth; add cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion and stir to coat
2) Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours

Like the mask Ron... Bill needs a fancy one too.
Looks good. I’m going to try the recipe but, so help me Lucifer, if I don’t love it, I shall bring a reign of terror upon you. *smirk*
Sean,
Trust me, this is a good and healthy recipe for cucumber salad. The key is the vinegar and sugar. It doesn't taste sweet but the sugar is probably a key ingredient for the tangy zing taste. I love it because it is nice and crunchy and light in calories. Good luck!
By the way, I read your blog but I am unable to leave comments on it. You have Word Press so that is probably the problem. However, Spo also has Word Press and I can leave comments there. I enjoy reading your blog.

"Tommy",
Dr. Spo made me that mask. He's making a lot of masks. I am reluctant to ask him to make another for Bill. I have masks on order from Amazon but they won't be delivered until the end of May. From China of course.

I do a type of this salad, but I use red onions and a balsamic vinaigrette. Zesty Italian's good too. Sometimes I throw in salad shrimp. Yummy.
Deedles,
Salad shrimp? OMG. You ruined it! (smile)
Ron
I love this sort of salad ! Alas i am supposed to lay of the sugar so I have to cut back on the amounts in these sorts of recipes.
Great read thanks for sharing this
