Hi,
I was raised on that Salad as well - Cucumber and Onions............now....a
favor.........do you have the recipe for the dressing....I know you diced up
the Cucumbers and onions ....but, what was on / in the dressing ?
I never had store bought bread until I got married...in our home everything
was homemade....and, I had NO complaints !
And, give me a good old dish of homemade ham pot pie or ham bean soup and
you have one happy camper.....kids today are spoiled - wouldn't you say !
Kindly
Bea
