In last week's comments, Lisa Marie requested that we give her some inspiration for her bumper crop of cucumbers, so this week's Stuff Other People Are Eating is dedicated to the porniest of all vegetables.

Kappa Maki is the Japanese way to sneak in some cucumbers (and as long as you're at it, a little Tekka for protein wouldn't hurt either).  Also, cucumber is the hottest addition to the hoitiest of cocktails. The Barefoot Kitchen Witch's chilled cucumber soup is souper fancy! Ha! See what we did there? Huh? Oh never mind.

We aren't sure where Maharashtra is but this non-sweet panaki filled with cucumbers looks absolutely divine and definitely will keep your interest during garden overload season.

We'll bet that your grandmother used to make something very similar to Scotty and Erin's favorite cucumber recipe. Ours did too. But if that's too retro for you, this seaweed version brings just enough sass to the table to keep your hipster cred.

Speaking of grandmothers, pickling used to be all the rage during the Depression era, but families with two working parents has meant fewer of these domestic tasks are getting handed down from generation to generation. This step-by-step guide to make your own pickles looks so easy, even we might be able to get the hang of it. Might!

When it comes down to cukes, though, we think that quick wins out over all, which means that Lisa's whip it and kick it version of a cucumber tomato salad is first and foremost in our hearts.
