Recipe: Cucumber Sandwiches

I'm pretty good at finding ways to eat the strange things that show up in my CSA, but cucumbers are a tough one for me--you can't really make a meal out of cucumbers. *I* thought these sandwiches turned out pretty well, though Phil insists that cucumber sandwiches are for high tea, not dinner. And since we never have high tea.... It's really a pity, since this was dead simple, and (I thought) rather tasty. Original recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/printerfriendly/SMOKED-SALMON-AND-CUCUMBER-SANDWICHES-1144. From the CSA: cucumber, dill.

Click through to see what's what. Contents: Watermelon, Melon, Garlic, Saute Mix, Eggplant, Green peppers (because I hates them, I gave them away, so they aren't pictured), Leeks, Green beans, Edamame, Yukina Savoy, Zucchini, Cucumbers , Salad mix, Raspberries. What I learned: cucumbers are difficult to use in large quantities, and Japanese eggplants are what Nanny Ogg would have called "humorous vegetables."
