I really wouldn't expect to find English Cukes this time of year, if they had them I wouldn't want to pay the price. I usually don't do the cuke think except in the summer and then I like to grow them or get them from farmers markets...BTW, did you know (I just read this) the tender, small asparagus isn't the most flavorful. The larger ones are better...I have always looked for the smaller ones. Of course being raised in Calif I could eat asparagus daily and we do, pretty much year around. This is the heigth of the season. We got it for $1.00 a lb the other day, it was $1.49 today at Wal-Mart. I didn't buy any...

My wife made chayotes last night. It was the first time I have ever had them. They are great!
