Regarding what to do with all those cukes, if you just search online for microwave pickle recipes you can make really tasty and easy pickles with some of them.
We've had some good deals here lately too:
Milk -$1.99/gallon
Eggs - .69/dozen (conventional; I prefer free range but these are good for the short term)
Lots of great, reasonably priced organic veg at the farmer's market...
I've been making my own balsamic dressing for the salad greens. It's easy peasy of course, but I've been lazy in the past. I prefer the balsamic from Trader Joe's, Costco Olive Oil, then throw in some scallions, Grey Poupon, and a bit of honey, salt and pepper. Yummo. Had a butter lettuce salad tonight with goat cheese, strawberries, unsalted sunflower seeds, and balsamic. Yummo (and cheap).
