Dill Pickles Are My Friends
I've been meaning to make some pickles for a long time. Not only do I really love pickles, it just seems like it would be a fun process and it's super easy.
So once I got blessed with 5 or so pounds of cucumbers, I knew what I had to do.
On a nice sunny and breezy Saturday morning, make sure all of your windows are open. Put on some nice jazz. Pour yourself a tall glass of apple juice and get started.
Boil some jars in a huge big ol' pot. You can use random jars, whatever you find, since these are quick pickles and not the fermented kind where you have to seal the jars like a pro. Its actually kind of fun boiling jars, as long as you don't burn yourself.
8 parts water to 3 parts white vinegar, 1/2 cup of kosher salt - brought to a boil. Lots of garlic (I LOVE pickled garlic), piles of fresh dill, peppercorns, celery seeds go into the jars in a cute manner. Then you get all rustic with it and use some cucumbers whole, some you half and some you quarter - but all of them you chop off the ends of. Stuff them into jars like you saw people do on Youtube and in real life. Pour the boiling hot brine into the jar, leaving a good 1/2" of air on top.
Give them a few days to get full flavored. I had one the very next day and it was a mild delicious vinegary crunchy salty yum yum. Go pickle!

The Cult Of Mad Max
I guess I take for granted how amazing this trilogy is/was. Whenever I talk to someone that hasn't seen them (and they are 70s/80s born), I am a bit shocked. How could you have missed out on the awe inspiring V8 Interceptor?? Why don't you get my jokes about Lord Humongous? What do you mean you've never contemplated a trip to Australia to look at scene locations? Well, I'm happy to see the passion is still very much alive in these fans:
