In other exciting news. LOOK!

We got our first chicken egg yesterday and I couldn’t have been more excited about it. When I took a picture of the egg sitting in the nesting box and sent it to Stephen, he didn’t believe me. He thought that I had placed an egg there from the fridge. Jokes on him because I didn’t! I’m 90% sure I know which chicken it came from but there’s truly no telling. Maybe today I’ll go home and find TWO eggs. It’s the small things.

So yea, cucumbers. I have a ridiculous amount of them growing right now. Besides herbs and a few green beans, cucumbers are the only thing in my garden that’s ready to eat and I’ve been picking about 5-8 of them every day. So yea, I have a lot of cucumbers simply lying around.

Luckily, as I mentioned Monday, the chickens have taken a keen liking to them and have been helping me eat them. A couple weeks ago, Ashley recommended that I juice some of the cucumbers. So, first I made a couple juices with them from some of my go-to juice recipes.

Then, after an extra stressful day, I decided it was probably a good idea to add some tequila into my juice.

Simply for the record: it was a particularly good idea.

This method is similar to a margarita, minus the triple sec (because I didn’t have any in the house) and with the addition of cucumber juice.

Cucumber juice, tequila, lime juice, sugar (or stevia), and a bit of club soda are mixed together in a glass.

And garnished with cucumber and lime slices.

This is the dependable little refreshing cocktail for the summer!
