HURRICANE IRENE'S BAKED CUCUMBERS
This dish gets its namesake from the storm expected to wreck havoc along the eastern seaboard. Deceptively easy to make, I needed an easy and quick idea for the cucumbers I was forced to harvest from my garden before the storm barreled through. Ideal as a light lunch or appetizer; perfected further if you are sitting at your...

Steps:
- 1. Wash unpeeled cucumbers well; cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out as much pulp as possible, into a bowl, without breaking the skin.
- 2. Brown onion in butter; add other ingredients mixed with cucumber pulp. Stirring constantly, cook 5 minutes, until well blended. Place filling in cucumber shells. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes, until shells are soft and mixture is brown on top.
ROASTED CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS WITH FRESH HERBS
I invented this recipe out of a need for a way to use the surplus cucumbers from a friend's garden this summer. I had never heard of someone roasting cucumbers, and a quick internet search turned up nothing, so I thought it would make an interesting culinary experiment. As it turned out, though, I discovered a new family favorite! This fast and easy recipe makes a great side dish for any occasion. Great with chicken or steak! I've even eaten it by itself for a light lunch. What more could you ask for?

JULIA CHILD'S BAKED CUCUMBERS WITH ALL VARIATIONS
This recipe comes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, 1961. 'If the natural moisture content is now withdrawn beforehand, cucumbers exude so much water as they are heated that you usually end up with a tasteless mush and swear never to cook cucumbers again. Blanching for 5 minutes before cooking will remove unwanted water, but also most of the cucumber flavor. A preliminary sojourn in salt draws out the water and also the bitterness, if they are the bitter European type, yet leaves the flavor, which a little vinegar and salt accentuates. We have found the following method delicious, and suggest it for all cooked cucumber recipes. Baked cucumbers go with roast, broiled, or sauteed chicken or veal.

STUFFED CUCUMBERS
For a change of pace, I like to serve these stuffed cucumbers in place of a lettuce salad. They're really refreshing, and a touch of French dressing makes them a colorful addition to any meal. -Mrs. Howard Phipps, Hernando, Mississippi

BAKED CUCUMBERS WITH CAULIFLOWER
This recipe was inspired by recipe#1722 by Traci & Jeff Poole1. Cucumbers make a lovely hot vegetable dish and maintain their crispness when baked. You may use them much like you would a Zucchini. In this recipe I used Cauliflower but other veggies would work equally well - Corn, Carrots & peas, just about anything. Try experimenting. This first time I didn't sprinkle with parmesan cheese but I will in the future. I hate wasting those lovely Cukes and this year they have gone crazy. This may be baked in your toaster oven.
