Being in Los Angeles has really made me realize that I'm truly and utterly in love with tropical fruit. Not just coconut, but mangoes, avocados, bananas, and pineapple, among others. That's something I really miss about L.A. - the convenience and availability of tropical fruits. Here, it's all in season essentially year-round, and is easily accessible at a low price. That's one food group that I don't think I could ever give up for the 100 Mile Diet.So, in the spirit of warmer climates and taking advantage of convenience, I've made this spicy mango and cucumber salad. This salad has two kinds of heat - ginger and cayenne - but the ice cold mango with the crunchy cucumber balances it all out well. Then, topped with the silken cashew cream, this was hot weather heaven in a martini glass. Spi

Obat Tradisional Serbaguna Sejak Ratusan Tahun yang Lalu Penggunaan Gamat (Teripang, Sea Cucumber) sebagai antiseptik tradisional dan obat serbaguna untuk berbagai penyakit sudah dikenal sejak 500 tahun yang lalu pada masyarakat Pulau Langkawi, yaitu sebuah pulau kecil di Semenanjung Malaya (Malaysia). Biasanya, air Gamat diminumkan kepada wanita sehabis melahirkan untuk menghentikan pendarahan, dan mempercepat proses penyembuhan luka khitan pada anak laki-laki masyarakat Pulau Langkawi. Pada waktu itu, air Gamat masih diolah secara tradisional sehingga memiliki kelemahan, seperti warna tidak menarik, dan berbau tidak sedap. Saat ini, pabrik kami telah menemukan teknologi tinggi pengolahan Gamat yang menghasilkan produk ekstrak Gamat / Teripang / Sea Cucumber (Gold-G Sea Cucumber Jelly

Time and tide waits for none says a 14th century adage and I am sure most of us could not agree with it more. Days fly by at the blink of the eye and even before we realize it months and years have passed by and all that is left behind are memories. Some of them good and warm ones that we like to cherish and some not-so-good ones that we like to forget. There are so many ways of evoking those memories like food, people, places, special days etc but I personally feel that food is the strong catalyst of all. Food is a part and parcel of our everyday lives and more so when there are festivals, get togethers, parties etc and there are bound to be lots of memories associated with it. I instantly go down the memory lane especially while making special festival meals, traditional meals etc and cannot help but recall the experience of joy, family, food, excitement felt during festivals. “Mooga Ghashi” along with “Khotte” (idli steamed in jackfruit leaves) is a quintessential part of K

With the combination of cucumber, lavender essential oil and yogurt to cool the skin, this combination of ingredients helps soothe blemished skin and help ease the pain of blemishes. Cosmetic clay helps to draw out the impurities that lay under the skin, and the essential oil of juniper helps to rid the skin of bacteria. The main cause of blemishes on the skin is bacteria and what is the main reason for bacteria? Dirty skin. The most dirt on the skin surface the more bacteria. The more bacteria the more breakouts happen. The more breakouts the more there is of skin inflammation. The first step to help correct this issue is to cleanse the face throughly. always rinse with lukewarm water. This ensures you don’t inflame what is already flared. Pat your face dry and apply a soothing cucumber-melon mask to soothe the inflammation additionally. Here’s how to make this wonderful facial mask for problem skin.

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

Old Cucumber Soup is a popularly available soup in Malaysia and Singapore - whether in Chinese homes or at eateries. Being an old cucumber, it is sold with a slightly thick and brown-coloured skin. Usually it is fatter than the young green coloured cucumbers which you get from the market. So, don’t go and buy some fresh cucumbers and leave it at home thinking that it will grow old that way. It doesn’t work that way. Just like most other soup recipes on this site, Old Cucumber Soup is VERY easy to cook and tastes great when paired with other great tasting ingredients like dried cuttlefish, dried scallops and red dates. Just prepare the ingredients and put them into the pot. Give it a simmer over 2 to 3 hours and you’ll get a hearty soup to drink. You can eat the cucumber flesh, which will usually be very soft to the pulp but I usually only go for the soup. This is my recipe for Old Cucumber Soup (more…) Share This

When a cooking/baking cohort suggested fried cucumbers, I nearly had a culinary siezure. I stand before you in naked humility. This recipe has been slightly modified; the end result was awesome!!

Only a lucky few ever got to try Pepsi's Ice Cucumber soda. The pale green drink began appearing on shelves at Japanese convenience stores in early June. Within days, clips of people swigging the stuff were showing up on YouTube, and bloggers were debating whether the taste was more melon than cucumber. A couple of weeks later, all 4.8 million bottles of Ice Cucumber had sold out. But instead of ratcheting up production, Pepsi brand managers in Japan did the unthinkable: They discontinued the drink!

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.There are those who argue that tap water is just as good, if not better than bottled water. You decide what you'd like to use. Personally, I am a tap water drinker and recycle old water bottles. Whatever makes you happy is fine with me.I highly recommend using unwaxed, fresh cucumbers that can be found at any farmer's market, vegetable stand, and possibly the organic aisle at your local store. You don't have to use an unwaxed cuke, but the fresh summertime cucumbers are much more flavorful.This is the easiest recipe ever!For a water bottle, peel half a cucumber, slice lengthwise into a few pieces. Fill bottle up with water halfway, stick cukes

The spotted Cucumber Beetle is a common beetle found in the home garden. It has a black head and antennae with a yellow-green colored body. It has twelve dark spots on the top and three pairs of short legs. One common name is the southern corn rootworm because in the larvae stage it feeds on the roots of plants.Spotted Cucumber Beetles migrate from the south to Illinois. They attack edible plants as well as ornamental flowers and cause seedling damage and later attack full grown plants. It is believed that as these beetles feed or crops and ornamentals that they spread bacterial wilt and mosaic, two serious plant diseases.There is also a related Stripped Cucumber Beetle but I've not seen it in my garden or around Chicago. The stripped beetle can overwinter in the ground unlike the spotted one that migrates here and can produce several generations in one growing season. I've noticed that this beetle is aware of it's surroundings and will drop to the ground and hide in the soil or amo

Yummy!!!The sea cucumber is an echinoderm of the class Holothuroidea, with an elongated body and leathery skin, which is found on the sea floor worldwide. It has a gelatinous characteristic and is distantly related to star fish and sea urchins. It is so named because of its cucumber-like shape. Like all echinoderms, sea cucumbers have an endoskeleton just below the skin. It has a distinctly phallic appearance, which may account for its reputation as an aphrodisiac. Sea cucumbers are generally scavengers, feeding on debris in the benthic layer. The diet of most cucumbers consists of plankton and decaying organic matter found in the sea. One way they might get a supply of food is to position themselves in a current where they can catch food that flow by with their tentacles when they open. Another way is to sift through the bottom sediments using their tentacles.Sea cucumber is considered a delicacy in Far East countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan, Korea, and Indonesia.

This cucumber salad goes well with just any kind of meal. I have seen some English recipes of so called "Scandinavian cucumber salad" using white wine vinegar.

We love soup! I spend a lot of money on gas making soup because I brew it for at least 4 hours! My boy knows it if I took a short cut. Then he won't even drink it. Well maybe he still does drink half a bowl to give me 'face'. hahaha ...Anyway, this vegetable I'm using is called 老黄瓜 in Chinese. It looks like a bigger version of cucumber but with brownish-yellow slightly rough, crinkle skin. It's called Old Yellow Cucumber translated directly. I haven't had a clue what its proper English name is. Anyone drop me note if you know.Ingredients:Old Yellow Cucumber, washed, sliced in big chunks and seeds removed.1 piece dried octopus, cut into pieces5 red dates, stoned250g pork ribs2 litre waterSalt to tasteHow to do it:Blanched the pork ribs.Put all ingredients except salt in a pot and bring to boil.Once the water starts to boil, turn down the fire to low.Brew for at least 4 hours (to bring out the flavour).Add salt to taste.Serve.Note:The meat from the cucumber is so well cooked

Gentle face maskAlthough make-up is vital to my survival as a happy, fulfilled, and sane (I no longer dream that I am an Egyptian princess reincarnated thanks to the mystical powers of lipstick) human being, my first and foremost love is healthy skin. I will warn you though, my masks use natural stuff. And natural stuff can be gooey and takes getting used to the texture. Sure, the stickiness takes some getting used to, but the results are worth it. This is my favourite face mask that I make in my kitchen. Recipe: 1 tsp honeyA few drops of lemon juice. Use a fresh lemon for this, and by a few drops, I mean two or three (you don’t need much).3 tsp milkHalf a cucumber sliced horizontally (you get the circular slices of cucumber) The method: Mix all the ingredients except cucumber thoroughly.Dip your fingers into the mask. Just enough to spread onto your face, but so much that it drips all over your arms and you become a sticky mess.Gently

Mango… I can say without any hitch or hesitation that mango is my favourite fruit. It's not just because of its colour and taste. It is one fruit which is connected to my happy childhood memories. My childhood days I have spent almost every summer vacation in my grandma's home. Every year me and my sister and our cousins would eagerly wait for our holidays and keep our bags ready before our exams. Right next day after our exams our uncle would come and take us to grandma's place. We all cousins would gather there and play day in and day out. When our elders use to take siesta in hot afternoon we would go to our mango groves and collect basketful of mangoes for my grandma who would cook delicious items using them. The choices are numerous: Pickles, Mambla (made using mango pulp and sun dried), Gojju, Sasame, Papadam, Sambar, Rasam, Raita etc. It's a never ending list of delicious mango delicacies.

I just finished preparing my cucumber raita for tomorrow's dinner. I plan to accompany this with a special dish which I will feature tomorrow if time permits.
