I think I’m going to cuke.

Cucumbers, so often the melty, soggy culprit in the bottom of your crisper (or mine, anyway),  really come into their own in the summer.

As I contemplate organizing a Pimms contest for later this season, my thoughts turn to these long green tube of refreshment. And I am not alone, it would seem. Over at BrightNest they have assembled a variety of cucumber recipes to tempt you including cucumber lemonade

cucumber granita

and fancy cucumber sandwiches!

You know what else comes to mind when I think of cucumbers?

Benedict Cucumberbatch.

I didn’t even have to Photoshop that – I just Googled it. True story.
