Don't think you need 2cucumbers but at least you can use one.

boil 2 cups vineger with 1 tablespoon sugar (or until sugar is dissolved)
Chop cucumber into chunks, 2 red birds eye chilies finely sliced 4 challots, put into vinegar mixture and you have a nice spicy thai sambal to put on rice etc,

Braised Cucumber

1 large cucumber
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp clear honey
Sea salt (optional)

Peel and cut the cucumber into thick slices.

Pour the white wine vinegar, olive oil and honey into a pan and cook the slices of cucumber gently in the sauce until they are tender, shaking the pan occasionally

Serve hot as a side dish.

Thai Cucumber and Egg Soup

4oz cucumber, peel and seeds removed
Pint of vegetable stock
2 spring onions, sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 egg white

Cut the cucumber into thick slices, put in a saucepan with the stock and bring to the boil.

Add the spring onions and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Add the soy and pepper to taste.

Lightly beat the egg white and pour into the simmering soup, stirring continuously. Serve immediately.

Cucumber sandwiches:

Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
2 medium cucumbers, peeled, sliced thin
1 cup white vinegar
1 tbsp. sugar
salt and pepper
8 slices of thin white bread
Miracle Whip mayonnaise
Whipped softened Cream Cheese
Marinate the cucumber slices in the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper for at least an hour. Drain well. Lightly spread mayonnaise and cream cheese on bread slices. Layer the cucumber slices thinly on bread. Top with other bread slice and cut off all crusts. Cut sandwiches in squares or triangles.

Or, just eat the marinated cucumber slices all by themselves!
