Beat the Heat #3

Trying to stay as cool as a cucumber? What better way than with cucumber sandwiches. Take bread slices, white or brown, and smoother half of them in light cream cheese. Then take one lemon and grate over the slices with the cream cheese. Place slices of cucumber over the lemon rind and cream cheese. Add a top slice of bread. Now use a knife to cut into squares, triangles or fingers. Regardless of being Royal or not cut the crusts or ends off. It's your preference. Even more fun is to use cookie cutters to create delicate shapes. You can make these sandwiches and keep them refrigerated until you are ready to serve. Cucumber sandwiches are fresh and hit the spot when trying to keep things cool and light.  - JW
