Cucumber and tomato salad

Forth of July is here! Nothing better than a cucumber and tomato salad for a picnic. Plus Jersey tomatoes are the best! We have an abundance of cucumbers at the farm that we are giving to Farmers Against Hunger, to feed people who may not have fresh produce to eat. Since we have so many cucumbers, I made a cucumber salad. This is a great, refreshing salad to take to a picnic!

Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Ingredients:

2 HUGE Jersey cucumbers (or 3 medium), sliced
3 small/medium size Jersey tomatoes, cubed
1 red onion, sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup olive oil
1 tbsp fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Slice cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes. Mix together.
Add remaining ingredients.
Let it sit for an hour, or as long as you have. The longer, the tastier!
Enjoy

Study and date day at the lake

We have farm land right next to a camp ground, called Lake Kandle. My dad is building a lean-to by the lake side, it is a great place to study and kayak. I was studying organic chem but had to take a date break. Andy, my boyfriend, and I decided to do a little kayaking to get some sun and an arm workout. I can't wait to see what the lake side will look like when he is done! My dad is so creative and talented, so I know he has some clever ideas for our lake side.
