Thanks for this great idea – a good summer dish for dinner and also a good option for lunch with leftovers. ~ G

Thanks, Leigh.
Becca, it varies from area to area. We buy ours from a nearby butcher, sometimes you go directly to a farmer. Ask around in your area, as a somewhat larger family that doesn’t eat out often, we find great value in the purchase.
Keter, I had summer pregnancies with all of my children and I learned that cucumber juice is a natural diuretic that can help with water weight. I drank many glasses of cucumber and watermelon, which has a very fresh flavor. I still love a slice of cucumber in my water, I just think it’s funny that my kids were arguing over it.

Heather, your kids aren’t the only ones who adore cucumber juice. I like to mix it with inexpensive plain carbonated water and a twist of lime or lemon with lots and lots of ice. Very refreshing and good for you!

I used to love pita sandwiches before I became allergic to wheat and your recipe looks divine. I have to figure out how to make pita bread from nonwheat flours!

People with little kids might want to remove the pits and slice up the olives – they’re a bit of a choking hazard.

Your little one looks like she’s enjoying her facial. ;o) I was amazed at how the more things change, the more they stay the same: when I was her age, I had a seersucker dress with bias edging that looked just like the one she’s wearing!

Where do you get half a cow….I simply had to ask. I saw John and Kate (plus Eight!) had one….and I keep hearing it other places, too. I’d love a feature giving the pros and cons of having your very own bovine in the deep freeze (seriously). With seven folks to feed all the day long…..we go through many a small package of hamburger, beef, etc.

**This recipe, of course, looks quite fabulous. You’ve inspired me to add it to the grocery list and we are going to give it a whirl next week. It will be nice to switch things up a big….and I love Pita bread.

(FYI: that litttle girl is a Cutie!)
