Cuke Explosion

We have been blessed with gifts of cucumbers from several friend's gardens, and just in time for the holiday weekend. Cucumber and yogurt is a natural and most refreshing combination - I am reminded of a cold soup that Crescent Dragonwagon describes in one of her cookbooks - they cuke and the yogurt pureed with onion and a touch of salt and pepper as an antidote to 95 degress and 100 percent humidity. I think I will also make my mom's summer salad of tomates and cukes cut into chunks with red onion and sour cream, or alternately oil and fig vinnegar.
