Recipe you say?

So, some unknown reader asked for the cucumber salad recipe. I'd love to give it, as I'm a sucker for exact recipes, but this recipe was given to me by my mom, who got it from my grandma, who got it from her mom, etc etc. It's not difficult. It's easy. It's good. I'll do my best. This is how I make it.

4 large tomatoes

4 cucumbers

1 medium onion

vinegar

sugar

water

slice the tomatoes in chunks, slice the cucumbers, and slice the onions in thin, short slices. In a separate dish, mix up your vinegar dressing. Start with about 1 1/2 cups of vinegar, and 4 tablespoons of sugar. Add about 1 cup of water. Once you've done that, it comes down to taste. Mix everything together and decide what it needs more of. It should be a sour/sweet/bitter taste. Then, chill. Overnight is best.

So, there you go folks.
