Well ... am I ever glad I made these. I never would have believed how delicious cooked cucumbers could be ... a little butter and salt and pepper and yummm.

Sounds so odd - I would never has suspected it would be edible!

I never would have even tried them but I had this lone English cuke and no desire for a salad but wanted a veggie for dinner. I saw the recipe and remembered a scene in the movie Julie and Julia where the Julie character said that cooked (I can't remember if hers were braised or sauteed or what) were "a revelation" -- so on I forged and I have to agree -- something of a revelation.

That same scene from the movie came to mind when I read your review...with such enthusiastic endorsements, maybe I'll give it a try!
