August 28, 2019 They said there were no cucumbers?

We returned yesterday.  Our guests ate all the cherry tomatoes that were ripe but there are more coming. They said there were no cucumbers but counting what Debbie took, there were 10!  And 6 more zucchini.

I made zucchini boats for Tom but did not have any due to having diarrhea from Nepal.  I really did okay on the flight back (34 hours, ugh) but I did not eat anything much.  So I am still having it on Wednesday afternoon but feel okay.

I slept until 11, had an egg and toast and cafe vienna. And then I made a cucumber, little honey, lots of mint, lime drink as Tom said, "Maybe a cleansing drink." It was good though

But the kitchen is a mess as I watch Claudette Colbert in "She married her Boss."  Another 30s comedy.

 I found another oversized cucumber like the one on the right and made my drink from both of those. The crooked neck squash is hard skinned. What happened to my summer squash?  I think it was bad seeds from Walmart or The Dollar Store.  So I made a soup, using a can of creamed corn that I threw in.  Kept the reciple. Tastes good.
 I always have extra boat mixture.
So there is the soup cooling and I am cooling the pickle water to room temp.  I still need to make carrot, ginger lemon soup. There are some old carrots in the refrigerator from when the Hemperlys were here. I put two cloves garlic, fresh dill, part of a spicy banana pepper and peppercorns.
