Freezing cucumbers?

We have 5 cucumbers in our produce box this week, and neither DH or I like them. I was thinking we could freeze them for when we give them to Margo in a few months... has anyone done this? I'm looking for the least complicated way, anything involving pickling isn't going to happen :) And since it's for her, I'd like to not have to add salt & sugar...TIA for any advice :)

    I've never heard of freezing cucumbers and it just seems wrong to me. Usually if you freeze a veggie, you cook it later. Would you be cooking cucumbers? The water content is going to be a problem defrosting them - they'll be really soggy. Plus you'd probably have to blanche them first. 

     I'd just give them to a neighbor or friend.

    ETA: After a quick googling (which you probably did), most recipes freeze them in a brine which is probably not what you want for Margo.

    You can just give them to me if you can't freeze them.  :-)  DH & I LOVE cucumbers!

    Dang. Thanks for the info, Back, I knew you'd know ;) Alethea, they're all yours! They stay good for a while, right? I can bring them to book club Weds, or if you want to meet up today or tomorrow to hand them off, I can do that too!
