Yep,I know Jim personally..my guess is, that being a machinist, he either didn't wash his hands well or cleaned his hands with solvent, and then cut up the cucumber....I PM'd him to ask, but haven't heard back yet....while I get mine from a local grocer, I can't understand how one Wally World cucumber could do that...it had to get contaminated somewhere along the line...?? There'd be sick people all over the news if it was Wally World...

When you see the rind only, or it starts breaking apart...pull it out..

Thank you! I wasn't sure if it would foul tank if left in more than overnight.

Just a quick note here..... you get the fattest Zuchinni/ cucumber that you can find, then slice them a bit thicker...1/2" or so..they last a little longer.
