Re: lemon cucumbers

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Would you mind sending me the recipe for your bread and butter pickles? 
I'd like to try making them as I've got extra cukes this year.  I tried
to just e:mail you personally, but everytime I'd delete the sq ft
address on the to: section it would reappear again.  Anyone know how you
just e:mail the person who sent it and not the whole list?  Thanks and
sorry for the recipe request on the list.
