A public thank you to The Old Bear for the Legal Seafoods chowder recipe. Try this for cucumbers: Thinly slice as many cucumbers as you want Marinate in: 1/2 cup white vinegar 1/2 cup water 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp (or more to taste) Jim's Red Savina powder 1 Tbs sugar Mix marinade in above proportions to cover the cukes. Store in refrigerator. Shake the dish once in a while to keep the peppers mixed. Stir if not tightly covered;-) This keeps well and gets better with age. If you eat it fast, you can add more cukes to the leftover marinade. Running on chile power, Frank
