A few years ago, my very good friend John-who I originally met in Hong Kong-came to visit us from London. We decided to have a picnic at the Getty Center, and there he packed us a “British Picnic.” One of the items was cucumber sandwiches.

After he read that my nine year old son started to write his own blog posts about food, John suggested for us to make the cucumber sandwiches.

Since cucumbers are in season and Kiowa liked the idea, (he’s very fond of Uncle John as they played water guns and dressed up to Trick or Treat together) we set off on across the Atlantic..

The following post is written by my son. He earned $5 for it.
