About Me
- Name: Lynn
I cook, bake, eat chocolate, and sneak out to Starbucks from northern California, where I live with my family. I wrote a book, Queen of the Castle: 52 Weeks of Encouragement for the Uninspired, Domestically Challenged or Just Plain Tired Homemaker, because I think running a home and loving your family is one of the most important jobs in the world. And some of us? Could use a little help.

I had this once at a wedding.....it hit my 'do not serve list'.
Who thought this was a good idea?
Ewww -- I'm afraid that doesn't sound or look appetizing. No offense. :-)
Maybe just try some cucumber water next time, yes? I'm sorry it failed, but thanks for letting us know!! :-D
Sometimes things sound better than they are, but good for you foe being brave enough to post not so perfect turnouts. I wish I was. lol
You are so funny! LOL! Just the thought of cucumber soup sorta makes me queasy. :)
Sorry you didn't like it. :( But we learn from our mistakes, don't we? So it's not all bad, right?????? :)
I LOVE your honesty with this! I'm still trying to get up the courage to post recipes that have not turned out well at all. I've never tried cucumber soup though..never knew there was such a thing...lol.
Snort.
This made me smile! :)
Thanks for the kind comment you left on my blog, about my son's band ~ I really appreciate it!!

Thank you for admitting that there is something you made and did not like! Also thank you for attempting that soup in the first place! :)
I have never had cucumber soup. Thanks for posting on this, now I know to steer clear! :)
I just had to say that I cracked up when I read this. Then I clicked on the "flops" label and laughed even more at the other entries! Your writing style is terrifically entertaining. Keep it up.

Hmmm - looks like green grits. Thanks for the warning to stay away!
Well Good Morning to you,
I am currently reading your book! I got it a couple of months ago and pick it up when I get the chance-wow to think you commented on my blog-thank you!
I am so enjoying your book-it is very helpful! I will have to tak e alook around your blog as well. Have a delightful day.

Hi Tress. It's good to meet you. Sorry to greet you with cucumber soup, however; that's not the best welcome :o. I'm so glad you're enjoying Queen of the Castle. I've really enjoyed looking around your blog. You seem to have the knack for decorating and making things lovely. Hope you have a delightful day, too.
Hmmm... ya....it don't look so good. Least you can say ya' gave it a try!
I agree completely.

Oh, now, I dunno. I've made a cucumber soup in the past that wasn't sooooo bad that I'd never try it again. It takes a little getting used to the idea because normally I associate cucumbers as being eaten raw or in pickles.
Katy, if you've had success with this, I'd love to hear what you did. The recipe I followed was from a Southern Living cookbook. They had you blend everything up in the blender (including melted butter, which, of course, the minute it hit the rest of the ingredients turned into little solid fat globs). I'd be willing to try again if you have a recipe to recommend. I am nothing if not persistent.
Lynn, let me look for it. I think it was in my Fanny Farmer Cookbook. Or maybe it was an old Farm Jounal cookbook.
Katy, I just looked in my Fannie Farmer Cookbook and saw three cucumber soup recipes. Two of them look pretty similar to the one I already tried, but the third one had a yogurt base (rather than cream or milk) and sounded really light. Could this be the one you've tried?
