*Removes cucumber slices from eyes that were busy reducing eye darkness and puffiness in order to be able to see to type. Cucumbers have a nice, refreshing, relaxing smell which is why (I think) they are nice in woman's products and in cool drinks and teeny tiny sandwiches. The cucumber may add moisture to the skin. I do not think it is like pineapple, papaya and ginger which tenderize meat. Worms would probably perceive older cucumbers a bit like they would watermelon rind. From: http://amazingribs.com/recipes/rubs_pastes_marinades_and_brines/zen_of_marinades.html "Fresh pineapple, papaya, and ginger have enzymes that tenderize meat. Papain, the enzyme in papaya, is an enzyme in papaya and the main tenderizing ingredient in AdolphâÂÂs Meat Tenderizer. These enzymes work fast. Within 30 to 60 minutes the meat is ready for the grill." Nice neighbor. Cucumbers for the worms should be a bit like nice dog treats for the dogs. Nice of the neighbor to share the bounty of their garden, even overripe.
