| | Cucumber Magnolia 'Golden Sun' | | 2008-05-02 04:34:56 | | Cucumber MagnoliaMagnolia 'Golden Sun'Synonym: Magnolia acuminataWe had a big day on the new job yesterday. The crew is working like a well-oiled machine and they really did an amazing amount of work. I was able to do what I do without a lot of interference. There are 100’s of feet of Boxwood hedges at this house and I am hand pruning all the Dwarf English type. The other I am loose shearing and then touching up with the hand pruners. I call it a hybrid technique where I get all the really shaggy growth with the gas powered shears. They are probably the most misused tool I have ever seen. Plants and gardens have never been the same since they were invented.Funny thing about this garden was I visited it in early March to make an estimate and didn’t get a warm feeling from it at all. I feel like normally I can evaluate a garden and see it good points even in the dead of winter but this place had me totally fooled. When I walked out behind the house yesterday my breath was literally t | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

| | Ease razor bumps with this terrific cucumber-yoghurt soother | | 2008-01-01 22:28:00 | | I don’t prefer waxing as a method of hair removal. Undoubtedly, it gives hair-free arms and legs for weeks together, but I find it so painful, cumbersome and messy. The other reason for disliking it is that I have a sensitive skin which tends to break into rashes soon after I wax. Depilatory creams are okay with me, but I usually go for shaving to get rid of that superfluous hair growth. It’s | | By: Beauty & Personality Grooming | | |

| | Asian Pickled Cucumber & Sesame | | 2007-11-18 06:59:25 | | A small cucumber salad to serve as a regular vegetable dish, as a simple salad with any meal, or as a side dish with a Chinese meal.INGREDIENTS:* 1 cucumber, thinly sliced* 1 teaspoon salt* 2 teaspoons sugar* 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar* 5 teaspoons sesame oil* a pinch of ground sichuan pepper* ½ red chilli, seeds removed and finely choppedMETHOD:1. Put slices of cucumber in a bowl.2. Sprinkle with sugar and salt.3. Cover and refrigerate for about 12 hours.4. Drain off the liquid.5. Whisk together, vinegar and sesame oil.6. Season with pepper and chilli to taste.Open Sesame!Sesame is a herb cultivated in Asia and other warm regions. It has violet flowers. Its seeds yields sesame oil. Sesame seeds contain a lot of fat, mostly unsaturated fat. Weight watchers should perhaps exercise moderation.Sesame seeds contain calcium. The seeds are also rich in Vitamin A and E. Therefore, I believe that sesame oil is a powerful antioxidant with potential antioxidant effects.Sesame oil is used for nail health in the Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions of health and beauty too. (An easy treatment for cracked and brittle nails: Heat some sesame oil on low until it is warm, and soak your nails for 15 to 20 minutes.)I have got two very different kinds of sesame oil in my refrigerator. The first one is toasted sesame oil. It has a rich golden brown color and a very intense sesame flavor. It burns easily, so I do not use that as a cooking oil. However, a few drops added at the end of cooking a stir fry, or drizzled on a salad, will give the dish a unique and delightful nutty flavor.The other kind of sesame oil is pale yellow in colour, thinner than toasted sesame oil. It has only a slight nutty taste. Especially good for wok cooking and dressings.Warning!People, who are allergic to sesame, poppy seeds, kiwi fruit, hazelnuts and rye, should avoid sesame oil. It may contain small amounts of proteins, which can cause severe allergy reactions.http://minareceptsamlingar.blogspot.com/feeds/p | | By: My Recipes | | |
| | The Healthy Red Juice (Beetroot-Cucumber-Pineapple Juice) | | 2007-11-12 14:50:36 | | The first time I tasted beetroot juice was at a juice center in Tahoe, and frankly, I wasn't too impressed. But I knew that not all things are meant just for your taste buds, and beet is something that is really a boon for your body. It cleanses your system and increases haemoglobin, alongwith purifying your blood. So the challenge was to keep trying some combinations with beet till I found a concoction that was healthy and comparably tasty. Also, my diet plan had taught me that cucumber and apple are 2 other things that work well for the body, and also go well together. So I experimented with these flavors and came up with the following drink recipe which I am sure will appeal to your body system and your tongue! Due to lack of imagination, I just named it "The Healthy Red Drink"Ingredients1 small grated cucumber1 grated beetroot1/2 cup grated pineapple4 apples - cut in 42 tbsp sugar1 tsp grated ginger (optional)MethodBlend the beetroot, ginger, pineapple and cucumber along with wate | | By: Fun and Food | | |

| | In Defence of Cucumber Sandwiches. | | 2007-08-05 00:30:00 | | I am delighted that Rachel Laudan has agreed to allow me to post her response to my story about cucumber sandwiches a few days ago. Thanks Rachel!Cucumber Sandwiches. Your column set me thinking about cucumber sandwiches. When I was growing up in England we didn’t have them often. They were too much of a fiddle to make on a regular basis. They were a treat for a formal tea, really the British meal as you well know, for entertaining unless you were very wealthy. They were served only on warm summer days and there were precious few of those in England. And finally, they were really upgraded bread and butter in the sense that the quality of the bread and butter was all-important and the filling was just a delightful extra to offset the taste and texture of bread and butter. I’ve been thinking about how my family made them and trying to reconstruct its logic. I’m sure neither my mother nor her friends would have been thought it necessary to explain all this.To make them, we used a sq | | By: The Old Foodie | | |

| | Cucumber Water--A Refreshing Addition To Any Diet | | 2007-07-21 20:28:08 | | This is not a "crazy diet" but it is a delicious way to perk up all the water that you will drink (and should drink anyway) while dieting. I'm bad about drinking lots of sodas, so this gets me to drink more water.
A few weeks ago I found myself buying some cucumber "flavored" water, which was a total rip-off once I realized I could make my own.

| | Cucumber Soda by Pepsi | | 2007-06-16 16:19:35 | |
Not really sure what to think about it but I would at least try it. Could be very refreshing.
Always looking for new experiences I jumped on the cold bottle and started drinking…as you can see I am still alive, how does it taste? Well certainly not like cucumber and certainly a lot like water with tons of sugar and some bubble too… Yeah Yummy
