"fruits" from the garden

Sadly, not my garden.  I don't even have a garden and the last time I checked, none of my flowers were sprouting fruits or veggies.

This yummy snack was from my friends garden!! She was sweet enough to give me some. 

I ♥ cucumbers!

They're so refreshing to eat.

These were washed, peeled, sliced and seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon.......DELISH!!

Cucumber facts:

Fruit or Veggie

From a scientific perspective the part of the cucumber plant that we enjoy is a fruit. The cucumber has seeds and is formed from the flower of the plant. At the same time, a cucumber is a vegetable as well. How can a cucumber be a fruit and a vegetable you might ask? The term vegetable is solely used in culinary terms so as far as cooking is concerned, a fruit can be a vegetable, but scientifically speaking, the cucumber is a fruit.

Much of the nutritional value of the cucumber is found in the skin. 

Cucumbers are high in vitamins A and C, calcium, and fiber.

Mostly water and nutritional yumminess, cucumbers are very low in calories.

• Cucumber Fact #1 : Cucumbers are natural diuretics used to help lose weight!
• Cucumber Fact #2 : Cucumbers sold in supermarkets are coated with a thin layer of wax for preservation that gives the cucumber an unnatural shine. Most of the cucumbers in the home garden are naturally dull green.
• Cucumber Fact #3 : Soak slicing cucumbers in salt water before slicing to suck some of the moisture out of the cucumber. Sliced cucumbers leak water when sliced.
• Cucumber Fact #4 : Sliced cucumbers release water and can be used to moisturize the skin. Slices of cucumber placed on the eyes is a common remedy for wrinkles around the eyes.

Enjoy some today!

 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my family to yours!!  

Is it weird that i keep humming the dang Lexus tune from the commercials?? No, it's just super annoying!! On the other hand do you think it'd be okay if I demanded a BIG RED BOW on all of my gifts....nah I'd just get the AYOOYM look- oh that means "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND" hahaha!

Well, I probably won't be back on here till after the New Year - maybe!  I can't stay away too long.  I wanted to say thank you to all of my new readers and visitors.  Thank you for stopping by and for all of the lovely comments.  I hope that you will stick with me in the New Year....I have tons of projects that I have started - furniture re-do's, guest room make-overs, sewing products, food recipes.....I've been really busy.  I can't wait to share.

Here is a snazzy little tune that I found for you, Enjoy!!
