Just as a casual aside, during the Mad Hatters Tea on Saturday, I put out a sheet of paper and asked the guests to name words for hats: topper, helmet, bonnet, etc. I was amazed at how many there are. Here’s the list:

And here’s a recipe for
really delicious cucumber sandwiches:
A loaf of cocktail bread
A brick of cream cheese
An 8-oz container of sour
cream (or plain yogurt)
One envelope of Italian salad
dressing
One tablespoon of milk
One big, fat cucumber, peeled
and sliced
A jar of pickled ginger
I fancy-peel the cucumber,
leaving green stripes, before slicing it.
Blend the cream cheese, sour
cream, salad dressing, and milk, and spread the mix on the slices of cocktail
bread (I like the rye). Top each with a
slice of cucumber, and top that with a couple thin slices of ginger. The dark bread, pale mix, green and white
cucumber and pink ginger makes an attractive display. And a delicious treat.
We served it with a selection
of hot flavored teas, lemonade and cookies.

I eat cucumber sandwiches all the time, though they are basic cream cheese on some kind of bread with lots of thin slices of cucumber. I particularly like Persian cucumbers. I don't know if they are available in Minneapolis, but they are a big item at Trader Joe's in Southern California. They are small and have the best flavor.
Your recipe sounds delicious. I'll have to try it.
There are two Trader Joe's within easy driving distance of our apartment. I may try to get over there today to see if they carry Persian cucumbers. I love cucumbers - Ellen doesn't, so I'll have them all to myself.
my dad loves cucumber, maybe I should try make one. thanks
