  1. I don’t normally like cucumbers except in dishes like tabbouli and falafel wraps, but I might give this a try. It looks delicious.

  2. Tutti fermi. Ma sei abruzzese? Io sono di Pescara e suono il liuto medievale rinascimentale e barocco ti seguo dagli esordi. Potremmo fare grandi cose a tema insieme!!

  3. You mention that this cucumber is actually a melon? Are you able to eat the skin or did you have to scoop the flesh and filling out?
