Asian Cucumber Salad

1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 tsp honey
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 greenhouse cucumber

Simmer vinegar and honey together, stirring until honey is fully dissolved, then cool to room temperature. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Slice cucumber thinly, toss with dressing and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Basic Baked Beets

Some beets
Some olive oil
Some water

Simply rub trimmed (not peeled) beets with olive or vegetable oil and place them in a casserole dish with 1/2 inch of water. Cover and bake in a 400 degree oven for about an hour. The beets are ready when they can easily be penetrated with a paring knife. Cool slightly and slip the peel off. We slip the peel off under running water; it saves on burning the fingers. Eat and enjoy.
