    Not sure if this is all true or not....sounds good though...more cucumbers for all....take care:yes2557:




    The Amazing Cucumber





    This information was in The New York Times several weeks ago as part of their "Spotlight on the Home" series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways to solve common problems.




    1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

    2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

    3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

    4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

    5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

    6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

    7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

    8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

    9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

    10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

    11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

    12.. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.

    13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

    Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve life's everyday problems..

    Oh, Dear! I'm a 6" Subway Melt!:biggrin_25524:

    Seriously, those are awesome! I love it when science catches up to the Bible! Thanks for sharing that--I love the quiet logic and almost pictorial representations. How kind of Him to "show" us what down here is good for us!

    Now if I could find a food that looks like two flat tires under a belt...(terrible case of trucker hiney!)

    Hungarian Cucumber Salad (Uborka Salata)


    [​IMG]


    Ingredients


    Directions


    1. Slice cucumbers very thinly, preferably using a mandolin.
    2. Take a colander, put in a small layer of cucumbers, then sprinkle with a small amount of the salt.
    3. Continue this method until all the salt and cucumbers are used up.
    4. Cover the cucumbers with a plate inside the colander, and put a very heavy weight on top.
    5. Make sure the colander is in a large bowl, because the cucumbers will lose alot of water.
    6. Let them sit for 1 hour.
    7. In the meantime, chop the dill and finely mince the garlic, put aside.
    8. After 1 hour, take a handful of cucumbers, and squeeze out as much juice as you can, and continue until they are all done.
    9. Rinse thoroughly with water, drain well.
    10. After the cucumbers are done, return to the colander, and weight down one more time for about 15 minutes.
    11. You do not have to squeeze out the juice again with your hands Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except the paprika.
    12. After mixing thoroughly, put in a nice serving dish, and sprinkle with the paprika.
    13. Chill for at least 2 hours.14
    14. Enjoy.
    15. Nutritional information shows a high amount of sodium, but the vast majority is pressed out by your hands. The main function of the kosher salt is to purge the moisture out of the cucumbers.
