In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate. In a medium bowl, beat eggs slightly and stir in 1/2 c. cucumber, bread crumbs, crab meat and tuna; mix well.

I know there are many Mainers who don't like cold soup, but give this one a try, especially with this sandwich.

Chilled cucumber soup: In a food processor or blender, chop 1/2 c. parsley sprigs (optional), 1/4 c. chopped green onions and 2 T. fresh mint leaves. Add 2 lg. cucumbers that have been peeled, seeded and cut into chunks. Process until the whole is minced. Add 1 1/2 c. plain yogurt; process a couple seconds and then add 1 c. chicken broth, pureeing until combined well. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Now I would love to have everyone take a look at my new Youtube videos, under The Yankee Chef. You have to promise me one thing however. Don't laugh. If the camera is fuzzy in places (which I am improving by the way) or I act nervous, it's because I am a novice (or an idiot - you choose). Don't laugh at the fact that I am wearing shorts either (although my family and friends are) because of a nerve problem in my leg. Other than that, laugh!
