I have been meaning to make this since seeing the movie. I have all the ingredients in the fridge so I'm good to go. Can't wait to see what my boys think of it!

Love your Julia posts. Beautiful food & writing. The Concombres have also topped my list of what I want to try from MTA (agreed, the book is addictive) because hot cucumbers are so hard to wrap my head around. They look luscious. Love the Knopf contest mostly for the new sites I'm finding through it! Lovely blog -

kirsty_girl–Yes! This would definitely work with Japanese cucumbers! The nice thing about using those is you won't have to deseed them!!

Thank you so much for telling us about baked cucumbers, wow. They look delicious, my mouth is watering. Great idea for some variety in the roast veggie department. Must must try this.

YUM! This looks great. Never would have thought to do this with cucumbers.

I had a similar shocking moment the first time I put lettuce into a stirfry. I'd just always thought it was a salad ingredient and 'cooking' it would be bizarre.

I'll have to try the cucumbers! They look yummy.

I would never have thought of this either! It looks great for a side dish, however, and I will make this, inspired by your post, photos, and recommendation. I didn't get to participate in MTAOFC this week as we are out of town at a swim meet with my son for five days and I just did not get organized enough to get it all done before I left. I will be back next week, however, so I will be excited to see what you choose for the recipe next week. I am putting your choice this week on my list of recipes to try.
