It's Food Friday! And we need an easy day. What a week!

Cucumber Salad with Garlic Vinaigrette

2 cucumbers
1 small onion (I like Vidalia, Charles prefers a sweet, Spanish onion)

Dressing:
1 small garlic clove
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
1/4 cup half and half cream
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
A sprig of dill for color
Crush the garlic clove, add the other ingredients, and shake until well mixed. Pour over sliced cucumbers and onions. Stand back.

Camilla loves this, which surprised me, because I had heard her muttering darkly to Charles the other day that she couldn't abide, "one more wretched cucumber sandwich at tea". I guess she likes the garlic-y kick. Well, maybe it is the Sherry. At any rate, she and Charles wolfed down this salad and are eager to accompany Tall Boy and his friends to "Zombieland" tonight. Which will leave Best Beloved and me some time alone to catch up on all the Ken Burns' "The National Parks" episodes we taped this week...

"It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life."
