Pork Teriyaki

Every time I go to the grocery store I try to get a meat I have not had in a while. Usually it's a variety of fish I pick from, but this time I got Pork Loins. Pork Loins are a favorite for me because they are cheap, easy to work with, and quick to cook. This recipe is a perfect example of these things. Also, the cucumber is from a friend's impressive garden which is completely organic and she uses no pesticides. Fresh eating!
