Please feel free to keep the 2nd jar, that 's why I included it.
I'm using the cucumbers for a marinated cuke/tomato/onion salad.
Extra cucumbers are also nice as a breadless sandwich. Slice in half longwise. Scoop out the seeds. Fill with tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. Very refreshing.
Some of the yellow squash will be made in to a tex-mex sort of casserole to use up left over cornbread:
steamed squash, Texas caviar, crumbled cornbread, tomatoes, perhaps some cheese
The larger squash will be halved, steamed and the inside scooped out. The scooped squash will be mixed with sauteed onion & garlic, chopped tomato, some sort of left over grain, feta cheese and perhaps basil or marjoram. Stuff the squash shells and bake until hot and the cheese is melting. Broil a few moments to brown the top.
Appreciate the veggies. My garden is not very productive. I'm pretty sure there is an "all you can eat buffet" sign by it visible only to deer.
