Baked Asparagus
1 pound fresh asparagus
Olive oil
1 lemon or lime
Garlic powder
Season salt or herb of your choice
Wash asparagus and trim off hard ends. Lay in shallow flat pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Squeeze the juice of the lemon or lime over asparagus. Sprinkle with garlic powder and your other seasoning of choice (fresh basil or seasoned salt are good). Bake at 400 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes. The thinner the stalks, the less time you have to bake it.

2 c French or Italian bread; -preferably day old -cut in 2 inch cubes 1 T Olive oil 1 c English cucumber -in 1/2 inch cubes 1/3 c Red pepper; 1/2 inch pieces 1/2 c Green onions; thinly sliced 4 c Parsley leaves -coarsely chopped 2 md Tomatoes; cut in 1/2 ” cubes ———————————-DRESSING———————————- 2 T Lemon juice 3/4 ts -Salt 1 lg Garlic cloves;finely chopped 1/2 ts -pepper, black, ground 1 ts Cinnamon, ground 1/4 ts Allspice, ground 9 T Olive oil; extra virgin “”NOTE: After a couple of hours, the croutons will start to absorb the dressing. Some people like this; others (including the reviewer for Toronto Life!) do not. Time the addition of the croutons to suit your taste.” Preheat oven to 350F. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet & toss with the oil. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning them every few minutes. They will take 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how fresh the bread is. Assemble the cucumber, peppers, green onion and parsley in a large bowl; leave out the tomatoes for now. Prepare the dressing: Stir the lemon juice, salt and garlic together until the salt dissolves. Add the pepper, cinnamon and allspice, then slowly beat in the olive oil. (May be prepared up to 12 hours ahead to this point.) Place the cut up tomatoes on top of the other vegetables. Pour on the dressing and toss well; add the croutons and toss again (see note).

3 Cucumbers 1/3 c Salt 1/3 c White vinegar You take the cukes, peel them and then thinly slice them on a grater or a Mouli. Layer these in a colander and sprinkle salt on each layer. Let these sit at least 1/2 hour so they wilt. Thoroughly wash off the salt. Meanwhile, mix white vinegar in about equal proportions with sugar. Toss the cucumbers with this and chill. You may need to adjust the ratio to your personal taste. For a salad of 3 cucumbers, Id maybe use 1/4- 1/3 c. each of vinegar and sugar. You could add dill seed to this, but I prefer it plain.
