lemon cucumbers?!?!? how neat! I am gonna try to find them at my asian grocer store.

to unwind I try to spend some quality time with my dog and read in bed – other than that, I guess I really need to seek out more relaxing things to do.

I never heard of lemon cucumbers! Now I need to try them. Maybe Whole Foods would have them? To destress, I lay in bed with a book and a glass of wine!

Those melons scare me. They remind me of a cactus or a green blowfish, and I find neither of those things appetizing.
First time commenter here!

Anyway, people think I’m nuts but I get in such a crappy mood when I get something to eat that disappoints me (especially in a restaurant). Part of it is the money spent for something I didn’t like, but part of it is that I feel like a meal was “wasted.” I missed an opportunity to truly enjoy some great grub! Sounds odd, but I just like food too much to not be disappointed when it stinks (why would you go see a terrible movie if you know you would have like another one more?)

Anyway, I unwind by walking and walking and walking. If I can focus, I do yoga, and working out in my garden (anything outside if it’s nice) clears my head.

I hope it wasn’t anything serious that caused you the stress!
I’ve never seen lemon cucumbers, they are so cute! And I hate bitter melons, there’s no way that I can like it. I like your quote about not changing to please anyone!

I’m sorry things are stressful. Never fun. Hope things go better.

The lemon cucumber sounds really neat. I’ve never heard of it.

I’m determined to try Chinese bitter melon this summer. It really intrigues me. My Sunday School co-teacher is Laotian and I know she has a recipe for them. I want to ask her for some good ideas.
