3 cucumber failed Recipes

okay , so all i had left in the freezer was a small thing of beef and a box of peas. so i tried to use a side dish i had in my cookbook that i ve never tried before, and incorperate the ingredients i had into it somehow. the result was downright disasterous. but i m going to give you guys the original recipe, and then tell you exactly what i did to screw it up., seedless cucumbers (plastic wrapped), peeled, unsalted butter or margarine, chopped fresh mint, salt, black pepper, grated fresh lemon zest, fresh lemon juice

cucumber, head dill or 1 dash dill seed, pickling spices, alum, garlic clove, hot peppers, water, vinegar, pickling salt
