Julia's Refrigerator Cucumbers fr. Mariquita Farm's website

Several cucumbers
Several Onions
dill
garlic
peppercorns
bay leaf
salt
Rice Vinegar, alone or mixed with white vinegar

Slice the cucumbers and onions. Layer in a large glass bowl or jar with the dill, sliced garlic, a few peppercorns, and a couple of bay leaves. Mix the vinegar(s) & salt (about 1/2 teaspoon per cup of vinegar) and then pour over cucumbers. They can be eaten within the hour or in several days. Keep in refrigerator. (Disclaimer: I make this recipe a little different each time: experiment with a salt/vinegar ratio and spices and flavorings that work for you.)
