Nobody here yet… So if somebody posts this before me, I won’t have seen it…

The first one is given… and there are a couple I’m still thinking about… But I need to make dinner first.

A quick run at the rest of them….

2. Half-hearted

3. Moral downfall??

4. Ready for anything.

5. Once in a blue moon.

6. Back door

7. Crossroads

8. Cross breed

9. Painless operation? (That’s not really a phrase, so to speak.)i

10. Friend in need

11. For instance

12. Middle aged

13. Quite right

14. ?

15. Travel overseas

16. ?

17. Forgive and forget

18. Hitting below the belt.

I didn’t really mean nobody had been here…

Nighthawks was here… Or we wouldn’t have the puzzle.

Hi Nighthawks.

Could be… neither totally makes sense to me.

I’d say…

Yours is probably more likely than mine, but to me, moral would have no reason to be supported at an extreme slant.

I think it’s a pretty bad clue.

My Answers. I got a wrong answer for 3 (See Tigressy’s) and missed 16 entirely
1) Breakfast, (YAY ! I got one !)
2) Half hearted
3) Moral upbringing (what I had: but as I said, Tigressy’s answer is right)
4) Ready for anything
5) Once in a blue moon
6) Back door
7) Cross roads
8) Cross breed
9) Interrupted operation
10) A friend in need
11) …for instance…
12) Middle aged
13) Quite right
14) Your time is up
15) Overseas travel
16) ? ? ?
17) Forgive and forget
18) Hitting below the belt
 

 

 

I agree that this is the answer wanted for # 16, but it’s a reach in my opinion

 
A summary.

It’s not his… It comes from the answer page he linked to, so it’s supposed to be correct.

But it still doesn’t work in my brain….

because….

She is a complete mess, but she did retrieve the dog. And the dog, if anything, is even more of a mess. It will all come clean though, with the possible exception of the dress.

Laundry sprays work pretty well these days.

Even 40-plus years ago, when Spray ‘n Wash was new, and my incredibly mess-prone niece was in elementary school…

a good dousing with it completely removed a close encounter with a birthday party at Chucky Cheese….

including a generous slathering of pizza sauce, and multicolored fruit and chocolate toppings from the DIY sundae bar.

….

I never thought I’d see her totally stained and dripping, once white party dress again, but it emerged unscathed.

A little mud? Piece of cake.

Cleo can’t eat out of her bowl like other dogs… Cos she doesn’t let any other dogs eat out of her bowl.

try some teriyaki sauce, Cleo. it’s not as salty and just a tad sweeter.

From yesterday.
Another good one from Pete Beard.
From the quality of his work and the times he lived in, it’s my thought that A.M. Cassandre was looked down on by the “real-art” world as early movie stars were looked down on by stage stars; “You’re not really acting / creating art.” I can remember reading articles about the stage/movie thing as late as the seventies. It is an easy conclusion to jump to, I admit, but his basically ignored work does speak for itself.

My crepes fell out of the pan without tearing ! ! !

Thank you ! !

I’m going to modify my crepe recipe, by cutting the flour in half though, and I have to find the lowest temperature at which water will dance in my cast iron pan.
The bottoms turned pancake colour instead of remaining scrambled egg or omelette colour; but the biggest hurdle has been overcome.

You’re quite welcome!

Glad it worked.

Do you not want them to brown? I like them to, but if you don’t, don’t put ANY sugar in the batter.

if you do want my recipe…

My crepes are quite low in flour and contain over twice as much
liquid as my pancakes.

I don’t really follow a precise recipe… I adjust for the quantity I want and what’s in the fridge…

But it’s based on a cup of flour, mixed with a half teaspoon or a little less of baking powder, and a teaspoon of sugar. Then you add a cup of milk, or half milk and half water, and two eggs, and beat it well with a fork or a mixer.

I forgot to say they hold together better if you can then refrigerate the batter for a while… An hour is good… It lets the flour absorb the liquid. Overnight kills the baking powder, but I’m not sure it matters.

When you’re ready to go, you melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in the pan, and pour it into the batter, leaving a little behind to coat the pan.

Mix it in well and if the batter has become thicker than heavy cream or chocolate sauce when you’re ready to pour it, add some milk. Any time it thickens up, in between crepes, add a bit of liquid.

For blintzes,

I use…
no leavening or sugar, one more egg, and be sure the batter is very thin. The filling is about 6 oz each cottage and cream cheeses, mixed with an egg, a little vanilla, and a couple tablespoons of sugar. They’re very rich! A batch lasts me several days… Cooked on one side, filled, folded, and refrigerated to be cooked on the outside just before eating.

Best served with a little jam or fresh fruit and sour cream.

Claude, when are you going to accept that Cleo is not like other dogs. How boring your life would be if that were the case.

Jeff Grobe, Architect and drummer! Jeff was kind enough to drop by a few weeks ago to give condolences on the loss of my dad. Jeff (Looking Glass’s drummer) is the brother of my sisters best friend.
