This is so refreshing and light!!!! It has just enough spice to be good and not so much it can't go to a pot luck. I didn't bother to seed the cucumbers, I don't think English cukes need to be seeded AND I used a blender on steroids. Easy to make!!!

One of my favourite thing to do is to copy recipes. It is so relaxing and fun. I enjoy Asian food, especially spicy dishes and love desserts. A well made and beautifully presented cakes is a joy to look at and savoury dishes, curries and spicy stir-fries are yummy!!
