In Season: Cucumbers
We're finally starting to get some relief from the summer heat, but I'm still enjoying the cooling flavors of cucumber. I like the Armenian and Japanese varieties best. Both are thin-skinned and don't required seeding. No matter which variety you prefer, look for cucumbers that are relatively small and slender as they'll often be less bitter and have fewer seeds.

I'm preparing to make some Maine Sour Mustard Pickles. Not many people have had these, but they are great. Perfect for all those little cucumbers. I posted the recipe two days ago at foodvox if you'd like to try an easy and unusual pickle.
