Tabouli

July 10, 2009

Cucumbers are coming in very fast.

Hubby and I have not been able to keep up with our garden this year.
We spent our 10 year anniversary in MIssion Hospital in Ashville NC.

We were involved in a motorcycle accident. Hubby broke 3 ribs and a wrist.
I ended up with a lot of roadburn on both arms and shoulders.

That is also why I ended up with a new camera. My old one was smashed.

Our garden and weeds are coming in faster than we can keep up, but I am getting back
in the groove slowly.

Just thankful we are both still here. It could have been worse.

Here is one way I love to use an excess of cucumbers, Tabouli. This recipe came out of my
Mastercook Software.

I did substitute couscous for the bulger in this picture’s occasion.

    SO sorry to hear you had an accident. But glad to hear you’re okay. Hope your hubby heals quickly. What’s the status of the motorcycle, though?

    Hey Carolyn,
    Thanks for the comment.
    The motorcycle is now in the shop being repaired.

    Some headlight damage, saddle bags, cosmetic..we were not going that fast..about 25 MPH maybe.

    Sorry about your accident. Did a car cut you off? My husband is taking a trip out West in Sept. and I worry about him on the bike more and more. The tabouli looks refreshing.

    Penny,

    Yes, thankfully we were going very slow at the time. It is the other guy you have to watch!

What Spice Are You

You Are Cilantro

The bad news is that
there are some people
who can't stand you.
The good news is that
most people love you more
than anything else in the world.
You are distinct, unusual, fresh,
and very controversial.
And you wouldn't have it
any other way.
