Lettuce and Cucumber Salad

I pride myself on being a wise mom.  If you want to see your kids often, find them a home down the street from yours.  Not too close, least they feel their privacy is violated.  My son Ted’s home is about eight houses from mine.  He likes how close we are, but he likes how his home is around the corner to keep his nosy mom out of his business.  My daughter found a home less than a mile away.  She has privacy and yet can raid my refrigerator at any time.  I love this living situation; it is almost like we live on a big estate on different ends of the property.  All I have to do is cook dinner for the family and my budget savvy kids come running.  Why buy food if mom wants to cook for them?  I love this set up, my kids are never too far away to pay me a visit and they are always ready for a meal.  Of course this does not count for my oldest daughter Amanda and her husband Michael who abandoned us in Michigan to live in South Carolina.  Hey, you kids!  Eat more salad!

           

            Lettuce and Cucumber Salad

            Chop any type of lettuce other than iceberg head

Slice a Hot house cucumber down the center, and then slice little half moon pieces.  (The type of cucumber that you eat the skin)

Add olive oil, vinegar, dill, sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

Mix together with the salad and add ½ chopped onion. 

Bon Appétit!
