Comic for July 19, 2012:


Ah! This is cute. When I worked in Gaming I fell asleep at a meeting one time. I was so embarrassed. Good thing I'd been working days and nights for the week. I could pass it off as sleep deprivation.

Ice Box Pickles

Ice Box Pickles: Folks who know me know I like to goof off. After all, that's why my shop's name is GoofingOff. My goofing off includes the kitchen. I love to cook. One of my favorite things to do is restrict myself to using what's on hand, and that includes what's in the garden.
I love cucumbers but when the cukes come in there are just so many fresh cukes you can eat until you start feeling like you are growing bumps and turning green.
A long time ago I found this recipe in the newspaper for ice box pickles and thought I would give it a try. They are wonderful. They are easy to make, taste great, and don't need cooking. No hassles with the water bath or big canner and they are ready in a day. Love to make things that are easy but still get compliments.

Ice Box Pickles
2-3 large cucumbers, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablesppoon of salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed
Sprinkle salt over cucumers and onions. Let set for an hour or more, stirring occasionally. Do not drain.
Mix the sugar, vinegar, and celery seed and pour over cucumbers. Let stand for 6 hours or overnight. Strir occasionally to make sure all the cucumber slices are covered with brine. Put the pickles in jars or bowls and store in the refrigerator. They will be ready in about one day.
Try making up a batch for your next barbecue or get together.

Have you signed?  I am a firm believer that if you are not willing to take the time to work on making things better, then you shouldn't complain about something that's not going the way you would like it to. i.e.  If you are not willing to take a stand. Don't be stepping on the line. :)+matt vovakiss  here's that post I was speaking of:

One of the comments was "Creation of Life" I think also the intricate preparation for the coming of creation. These small creatures with only a beak and a foot to weave such sturdy homes.
