Scandinavian Cucumbers

Directions

1. 1
   Select one fresh from the market, not too green, but tender and healthy.
2. 2
   Handle gently, for they bruise easily.
3. 3
   Sweeten with smiles.
4. 4
   Blend with patience, humor and a pinch of mischief. Do not beat.
5. 5
   Preserve over a steady fire of warmth and affection. Like fine wine, they mellow with age.
6. 6
   Do not pickle or put in hot water.
7. 7
   This makes them bitter.
8. 8
   Serve with sugar, spice and tender loving care.
