What to do with a cucumber...

[Jemisa]

Cucumbers - very interesting
I didn't know this...
WOW! WHAT A LITTLE GEM THE CUCUMBER IS.
I WILL LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY NOW.

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.

I'd support netball if there were cucumbers involved too.

Is the slug and pests tip true? If so I will definitely try it!

I came to this post because it was in the chatterbank not cooking and its about handy hints :-(

I agree with Chuck though thought it would be JJ

Jem, I am so used to you telling jokes that I read this through twice, thinking 'I don't get it', before I realised it was In Chatterbank. Doh.

Intersting stuff though. I will look at cucumbers with a new respect from now on.

I love taziki [however you spell it] but the Greeks make it better. There cucumbers are HUGE!

Does putting a slice of cucumber over each eye help if you are suffering from tired eyes?
