Cucumbers

Can I just say, in a totally non-suggestive way, that I just bit into a whole cucumber and it was awesome!  After my parent's recent visit and unloading of a bunch of delicious foods, I have been left with more food in my room than I can reasonably eat before it goes bad.  One of the foods I requested, having been deprived of quite a lot of fruit and vegetables, was cucumber.  I love cucumbers!  Larry the cucumber was probably my first real love in life.  Anyway, my parents came with a whole cucumber that I have neglected to eat until now.  I walked into my room and proudly announced to my one present roommate that I was having a cucumber for dinner.  I sat with it on my desk for a while and then had my first experience biting a whole cucumber.  I felt like Satsuki in that one scene of My Neighbor Totoro were they all eat fresh whole cucumbers.  It was a truly magical experience.  Second bite, the skin is an interesting obstacle, waxy and mildly leaving a film on my tongue.  I don't know that this cucumber has been cleaned.  And now my cucumber is no more, but it was delicious.

Note to Readers: Eat cucumbers they're awesome

On a side note:  As strange as it may sound, cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches are DELICIOUS! They are the perfect blend of rich and fresh and carby, because who can resist carby foods??  They work for every meal and snack and fill your mouth with oozy yummy homey freshness! Be brave and try it.
