In mid-September when cucumbers are abundant but the weather has started to turn chilly, it's a good time to bring more warm and well cooked foods into your diet. However, you will still want to eat foods with a post-digestive effect that is cooling for occasional warm spells that occur before the weather turns really cold. The warm food helps digestion on a cool day and the cucumbers help the body ease back and forth between the warm and cold weather that happens around the Equinox. It may sound strange, but cucumbers are similar to some squash like Delicata that have a soft skin on the outside and lots of seeds inside. This warm cucumber dish is similar to a squash lasagne but green. The water from the cucumbers will cook the lasagne, so there's no need to pre-cook the noodles. If you use collards or other greens, this dish will be very high in calcium even with a tofu substitute for the cheese.
