Was wandering about the kitchen today wondering what to do with a cucumber when I was reminded of that staple of Victorian English novels: the cucumber sandwhich. However, I’m a barbaric Midwestern American living in a place that considers pepper an exotic spice. So, here’s what I assembled:

Toast:
2 slices wheat bread

On one side spread
Cream cheese
On the other slice spread
Butter/margarine

Layer on one slice
6-8 slices of cucumber (1/8-1/4 inch thick)

Sprinkle with
Pinch of dill
1-2 grinds of fresh black pepper

Place the other slice of toast on top of the cucumber-laden slice.

Cut in half, and enjoy.
