Creamy Cucumber-Dill Sauce

This recipe is very similar to the dipping sauce you get at Black Angus when you order fried zuchini. A favorite of ours to the dismay of our waiter's when we go there. We are always asking for more.
  • 1 lg. cucumber, or 2 sm. ones
  • 2 C. sour cream
  • 1 C. mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 t. seasoned salt
  • 4 t. finely chopped green onions
  • 4 t. dried dill weed
  • dash of granulated garlic
Peel cucumber, cut in half and scoop out the seeds. Coarsely grate and drain. Combine all other ingredients in a mixing bowl, stir with a wire whip.  Add cucumber. Cover and refrigerate a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. 
Yields about 3 C. of sauce.
This is also excellent with fried fish or any kind of seafood.

I can't seem to lay off this stuff since the party. I am going to the store tomorrow to get more stuff for ingredients. It's good on everything. (well, almost)

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
