    Me, too.. both things. But I love cucumbers & when DH orders a salad in a restaurant (I don't get salads -- lettuce makes me violently sick), I reach over & remove all the cucumbers for myself!

    I love cucumbers. We practically lived on them when I was a kid and we had a garden. chopped up cucumbers, tomatoes and bacon bits sounds good.

    "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!!!"

    A slice or two? I would need about 50 pounds of cucumbers to tighten up my cellulite areas. >.
