This same artist, Dudolf, does most of these that we see, and he often draws animals, let’s not say incorrectly… but in a very stylized manner, so they’re unrecognizable.
Like his bats and cat, just the other day.
The puzzle still works fine, as long as you don’t care what creatures are involved…
The three older guys in a row looking emotional are John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page… the surviving members of Led Zeppelin, whose song this is, or was.
They’re now in their mid to late 70’s but this video shows President Barack and Michelle Obama in the audience, so they’re probably 10 years younger (though maybe looking a bit worse for wear… sorry guys).
Drummer John Bonham, whose son is appearing here alongside Heart, died some 40 years ago, so the band broke up.
…
I’m not… okay, nobody kill me, please… a huge Zep fan, but I do really like “Stairway to Heaven”, until it goes a little too crazy for me near the end.
It’s reportedly one of the most popular rock songs in history, so that sentence will get me in trouble if it gets out. Shhh.
Stuffing day six:
Every stuffed bird Mother cooked had this stuffing.
From:
My mother’s cookbook (in my mother’s handwriting)
“Bread Stuffing for Poultry”
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups chopped onions,
4 cups soft, stale bread crumbs half a 24 oz. loaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons crushed fresh sage or powdered dry sage or 1 tablespoon poultry dressing
Mix bread crumbs, salt, pepper and sage.
Add onions ( sautéed till soft, but not brown in butter, about 2 or 3 tablespoons. Sauté over medium heat, watch carefully).
Pour melted butter or margarine over crumb mixture and mix thoroughly, but lightly.
Sufficient for a six pound bird.
10 cups bread crumbs – for 12 to 16 pound bird
All other ingredients increased also. Be careful not too (sic) overdo seasonings. Too much sage or poultry dressing gives a bitter taste.
Notes from me:
Obviously this was written for me and not commercial publication, hence the magically appearing margarine (I suspect Mother copied this from a magazine from the 1950’s, but I don’t really know)
I do know…. DON’T USE MARGARINE – IT’S VILE ! !.
The odd breaks in syntax / grammar?…my mother’s voice and easily understood when read twice (I just hear her voice and go on accordingly).
After having made this a few times I came up with my thumb rule of 1/2 a cup of stuffing per pound of bird always rounding the least extra ounce up to the next pound.
If you make stuffing using this recipe, you will not be disappointed.

Much as I love Maria Muldaur, there is one flaw in this song. A cactus pointing the way is typical in the SW United States, but not in Arabia.

“We don’t care what people say. Rock and Roll is here to stay.”
I have a rather messy garden table or shelf alongside my little patio, covered with small pots… a few somewhat bedraggled but nicely flowering mini roses, some small cacti, a “flowering onion” or two… whatever agrees to live through my not very green thumb.
Northern California is pretty forgiving.
Front and center is a shallow planter bowl whose bulbs died off, a long-ago gift, waiting hopefully and in vain to be replanted every year.
I don’t quite remember how or when they arrived, but sitting on top of its bare dirt are a couple of little plastic pots full of soil, such as a tomato seedling comes in.
This summer (I think) a weed showed up in each pot. I was going to pull them and toss the dirt but I never got around to it, and they got watered with the flowers.
Then the front one started getting greedy… its thin green leaves started to wilt faster than the roses if I didn’t water it every day, so I was going to let it die.
It put out long soft spirally spikes… and I thought “i just know this thing is going to seed itself in my flowers.” But I did nothing.
Weeds are at least spots of green…. so I watered them anyway.
…
A couple of days ago that greedy little weed had big yellow buds on it… I discovered that the brown spikes were actually attached to the other one, behind it.
Today it has burst forth, a small, unexpected snapdragon plant, almost covered in yellow blossoms.
I don’t remember buying or being given it… it’s just a little present from the universe, saying “Thanks for watering me.”
We have a rock yard. A few years ago a couple of snapdragons popped up. Okay they were pretty and I left them. The next year there were a few more and I left them. The next year, they were all over the yard. Now they are pretty flowers and all different colors, but once they die, they are ugly brown, dead branches. The next year, I tried spraying them and digging them up. Had to have someone come out and spray the whole yard. What looks pretty at first, can get pretty ugly. Such a shame!
Pretty please…. Don’t tell my new snapdragon that story.
It’s having a hard enough time with the freezes we’re having.
No idea why it decided to burst into bloom in a week of subnormal temperatures for here in November.
…
I have a few pots of them.
All are at least 15 feet from the new one, but I do think maybe the seed blew into the pot from the yellow one.
They tend to winter over, mostly brown, yeah, but with some green leaves, and they green up and bloom in the spring. One plant is perpetually scraggly, but puts out beautiful pink blooms.
Most stuff out there is brown anyway, in the middle of winter, so I just water them if it gets dry, and wait for March or April.
When I see your snapdragons, trust me ~ my lips will be sealed. I don’t think you will have a problem since they are in pots. But it’s hard for me to walk on the rocks, much less bend over and pull out the remains. We live in a 55+ neighborhood and although we don’t really have an HMO, they want us to keep our yards looking nice. They are a very pretty flower ~ we loved them……until they died.

Her owner is very attuned to her likes.
I didn’t realise they made such well-fitted dog carriers.
Do they come in breeds, or sizes, or do you have to send in your dog’s specific measurements?
I wonder if they make one big enough for one of those Tibetan Mastiffs.
…and you notice the case has extra breathing space…
…which is always a good thing.
.
My image-manipulating fingers are just itching to glitter and “star” this!
Like a kid with a new coloring book.
You, Stel?
do it. do it!!!
You know it!!!
,,
Ouch!
I hate it when that happens.
While she recovers (I hope!) it must be fun for her to see it all over the internet as a “funny” meme.
i know how she feels!
How is your back doing??
i just called my doctor’s office for some pain meds. we’ll see how they work. right now i’m limited with what i can do! very frustrating.
I’m sure it is frustrating. I hope the pain meds do their job! Take care!
I somehow thought you were getting much better…
Please hurry and do that!
So sorry you’re still in pain from it.
So that’s what happened!
Respect!!!
hahahahhhaaa

The plane that saved Britain.
find the penguin among the toucans
There’s not a toucan in the bunch.
Toucan play that game.
I see one that is different, but not clear to me that he is a penguin.
Boo! 😀
I can only go by what the title of the thing is, which is:
‘A Penguin among Toucans’
I don’t think anybody thought you named them.
This same artist, Dudolf, does most of these that we see, and he often draws animals, let’s not say incorrectly… but in a very stylized manner, so they’re unrecognizable.
Like his bats and cat, just the other day.
The puzzle still works fine, as long as you don’t care what creatures are involved…
And I guess I don’t.
Got it!
Me, too.
me 3.
Easy enough to find him…. a little harder to call any of these birds a toucan or a penguin.
Yup!
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
I think they are all penguins, toucans have colorful beaks
i thought it was just me!
This popped up on my fb feed.
A baby tou can what?
While perusing the tagalongs to “Kookie…” I came across this….
It is one of the weird yet wonderful things this world can provide.
I did not expect to see Heart! Good find, Alexi! But who are those dudes in the audience?
The three older guys in a row looking emotional are John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page… the surviving members of Led Zeppelin, whose song this is, or was.
They’re now in their mid to late 70’s but this video shows President Barack and Michelle Obama in the audience, so they’re probably 10 years younger (though maybe looking a bit worse for wear… sorry guys).
Drummer John Bonham, whose son is appearing here alongside Heart, died some 40 years ago, so the band broke up.

I’m not… okay, nobody kill me, please… a huge Zep fan, but I do really like “Stairway to Heaven”, until it goes a little too crazy for me near the end.

Or this:
I loved 77 Sunset Strip when I was a kid, and I enjoyed Kookie. Kind of a stereotype, I guess.
you’re the ginchiest
It didn’t make it to either my Oxford or Webster’s dictionaries, but I did find the attachment…
HERE.
You lost me at gin.
it was always a good show! i did a lot of babysitting in those days. the parents knew not to come home before it was over!
Yeah, gee… it’s quite probable that no good will come from your dog giving all the neighborhood pooches lessons in weaponry.
When the powerful trained canine battalion takes over the neighborhood, and enlists reinforcements, and conquers Cleveland…. and then Ohio….
and they’re marching towards Washington…
And reporters from CNN and the New York Times are pointing microphones at Clara and Claude…
What will they say?
…
“Well, we did our best to stop her… we even yelled, ‘Confound it Cleo!’ “
fast foods
It’s rice awareness month.
Not fast enough to get away from me!
German chocolate cake
Absolutely, my hands down favorite.
Nothing beats a good German Chocolate cake.
Unless it is German Chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
CHOCOLATE!!!

That’s a lovely little event in your life and not dopey at all ! 🏵
I get it.
We have lots of foxglove here. The foliage says weed, but the blooms are lovely. 🙂

I’m not a very fussy gardener, I guess.

time for claude to hide his credit cards!
Sure it can. Maybe be rid of the evil white. Although the cat may be better armed.
have a great day!
(((((HUGZ!)))))
Yes, I would worry about EWC. Glad to see you here. I hope all is going fine. Take care! Hugs!!
nothing like the ‘hump day camel!
i’ll echo Perky…..glad to see you!!!
Good morning.
It looks like you are doing better.
Yay Plods!
Hello again!
Dogs with weapons ~ not good. At least they will be trained.
Which can be good or bad.
I think I’d rather have an inept one firing at me than a trained marksdog.
Who knows what they will be with Cleo training them.
