I got a pedicure today and I had the most delightful thing happen – and it had nothing to do with my feet. I’ll remember it far after the polish wears off and the calluses return.
As I was browsing through the pedicure options, imagine my surprise/delight when one of the options was “cucumber hell.” What?? This prompted so many questions and even more giggles. I really didn’t even know what it meant .. peal? heal? I told several friends and we decided that cucumbers really shouldn’t be feared.
I’m a avid traveler and I understand the challenges of a language barrier. I have been the victim of a translation gaffe myself — when we were in Puerto Rico, I thoroughly embarrassed my daughter when I mispronounced the name of a beach — thus calling it “ass beach.” Yup, she could not have been more proud.
But Spring is here and I can’t think of anything more delightful than going through cucumber hell and then spending a few days on ass beach. Sign me up.
As I See It 
Awesome post! Glad to see you back!
There is just so much fun in this post. Did you put cucumber hell on your feet?
I did not go through cucumber hell .. decided it would be more fun with a friend!
Anxious to find out what this treatment actually is! Thanks for the chuckle this morning.
Too funny! I’ll be thinking about cucumber hell at my next pedicure.
Now that’s just too funny! Have you seen the videos of cats responding to cucumbers behind them? Now their reactions are cucumber hell. (Google it on YouTube, they are funny.)
I have seen them! The cats are indeed going through cucumber hell … and it’s funny — so it seems that all things cucumber hell are funny…!
