   This cartoon led to a very interesting back-and-forth with a reader. I won’t get into details, but you’ll be pleased to know that we both started off thinking the other was overzealous, and after talking about it, I think we both decided the other was alright.

   1. Hook up the refrigerator.2. Wait.3. See if there’s ice.

   That’s the recipe, isn’t it?

   Or, the old recipe when you’re my uncle from when I was little:

   1. Put water in all the aluminum ice trays with that weird pull-handle rig in the middle2. Set the stack of trays in the big freezer out in the pumphouse.3. Go out there when momma says go get more ice.4. Stick tongue to tray on the way back into the house.5. Cause all kinds of kerfuffle when no one wants the ice with bits of tongue skin stuck to them.

   I told my kids that there used to be bookstores everywhere. Pointed out where three of them used to be- easy driving distance from the house.
