Quick Pickles...

1/2 cup white vinegar, eyeball it (I probably used closer to a cup.)
2 rounded teaspoons sugar (Way too much to me. I think a pinch would suffice.)
1 tsp. mustard seed
1 tsp. salt
1 clove cracked garlic
1 tsp. dried dill
1 bay leaf
4 pickling cucumbers, cut into 1-inch slices on an angle

Heat small saucepan over medium high heat. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, salt, and garlic to the pan and cook until it begins to simmer and sugar dissolves. Toss the dill, bay leaf, and sliced cucumber together in a heatproof bowl. Pour the simmering liquid over the cucumbers and stir to evenly coat. Allow to cool to room temperature or chill before serving.
