One of the best homilies I have given is probably my cucumber homily. Since then I receive a plethora of cucumbers each year from mid July through August. I love cucumbers, especially straight from the garden. It reminds me of home when Mom would grow cucumbers. I'd usually go out after her and pick all the ones she missed.
Straight 8's are probably my favorite. I'm not really a pickle guy so the fresher the better.
I generally don't use salt. The rust and debris of whatever I cut last on my pocket knife add good enough seasoning.
Delicious. Just like home.
It's usually the simple things in life that draw us closer to God. Cucumbers help keep me a kid. What's your cucumber?
