I am now surprised that I’ve never seen that before.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the big chains started selling them.
Honestly, at first glance i thought that they were cookies.
I was wondering about that too… then I thought… shouldn’t a given ball of dough, rolled to a certain thickness, have the same surface area, no matter the shape?
But it’s possible they use a smaller ball of dough for a stocking… or that the shape isn’t as usable as a circle.
We have to make sure they can carry just as much sauce and cheese… and these particular stockings are a bit devoid of other toppings for my taste anyway.
I don’t eat pepperoni (I know, I know) ,.. where are the sausage, the bell peppers, tomatoes, olives… and yes… anchovies?
We must take a scientific approach to this dilemma.
Roughly a square, top it forming two boots (upside-down to each other), cut the boots after baking. Use that formula for multiple boots.
We’re gonna need a bigger square!
It was done with no visible lawns, and roofs the color of dirt, so that the top buildings would still look (somewhat) reasonable upside down…
even though many of the upside down roofs seem attached to different houses that way.
Tigressy mentioned that it’s mirrored… that’s what I see as well.
….
Folded like a Rorschach test…
The fold goes across the middle, from side to side, so the top half is the upside down version of the bottom…. including the cars driving upside down on a road that’s above them.
Some parts work better than others… check, for instance, the houses behind the white van near the bottom…
Upside down, near the top, they’re quite perplexing.
In most US municipalities, you can’t buy those for home use, or get them delivered to a residence.
In fact, any coal burning is banned in lots of places, or sometimes, every kind but anthracite…. which still isn’t great for barbecues, but can be used if legal.
She and her bigger brother hatched a scheme, telling my brother and SIL that they wanted to “help” the Easter Bunny by choosing their baskets ahead of time, so all he had to do was fill them.
The parents bought the idea, and week or so before Easter they all went off to Cost Plus on a merry excursion…
….
Where my niece scoured the shelves for the largest basket she could carry…. about three feet across, according to my brother.
At first they laughed but then she pitched a huge fit, screaming and yelling in the store, cos all the other baskets were “way” too small to hold all the loot she was expecting.
….
She sniffled and whined all week about the too-small basket they bought her, though it was very large for a little kid… I would have bought an even smaller one after that display.
They used those same baskets till about high school age… she didn’t stop complaining for years.

Handsome boy! 🙂
“Did someone here order a formally dressed greyhound?”
NOSE!

Aand so did I until I read your post…
It’s all about surface area. How much do you get with the stocking, and how much with the circle?

I’m impressed. I had no idea that HE, personally, taught them to fly.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear? Is he sleep flying?
Where’s Alexi?? He was supposed to be back by now, wasn’t he?
Yeah, where are you Alexi? We miss you.
Fo some reason it looks to me like the Big Guy has been, somehow, launched out the window.
or…..was he ‘visiting’ someone special?
,,
Nope, nope, nope. That top part has been manipulated in more than one way.
…i think? I get crosseyed when i try looking at it.
#mirrored
Ah! Yes! I see the mirror line now.
Looks like the American version of a refugee camp. Don’t forget, we had ’em in the 1930’s.
We don’t have to find something in there do we???
Ha Ha! I hope not!
At first glance, I was sure it was going to be a puzzle!
This is why pitched roofs are important. so we can keep our bearings.
I think what makes it kind of confusing is that almost all the roofs are the same color as dirt.

It’s the van at the top that got me.
OMG! i can only look at this for a few seconds!
It’s the van at the top that got me.
Cut a hole in the toe of your sock.
Over an open fire?!?
I didn’t think of that.
That works better with coins than with small toys and treats.
Most of my socks already have holes for my big toe.
Your funny! (You are being funny, aren’t you??)
Happy Winter Solstice!
it was MINUS 20 at 7 a.m.!!!!!!
Solstice greetings to as well.
Cleo! Or are you trying to remove any traces of what Claude noticed about the tree a couple of days ago?
My first thought as well.
I know tree branches droop…
But Cleo has removed even the ones that started as high as her eyeballs.
How a boy dog could “use” those, even when he’s standing on two legs, is a real mystery…. and Cleo’s a girl.
…
My girl used to try hard to emulate the boys, even sometimes lifting both her hind legs at once…
but I don’t think her delivery ever achieved more than a couple of inches elevation.
Of course, she was small, and couldn’t walk on two legs.
..
And I admit… there’s no telling what CLEO can do if she puts her mind to it.
My boy lifts his leg now, but he hasn’t figured out the hip rotation, so he’s peeing on his front feet.
Well, what are you going to do with it then??
A shipment of coal is in order. If they are in an old home they may still have a coal chute. Then put Cleo’s stocking on top.
She’d just build a barbecue and start asking for pork chops and steak.
Let’s just hope it’s not bituminous coal then…or lignite, for that matter.
In most US municipalities, you can’t buy those for home use, or get them delivered to a residence.
In fact, any coal burning is banned in lots of places, or sometimes, every kind but anthracite…. which still isn’t great for barbecues, but can be used if legal.
Then again… who knows what Santa can do!
Santa always delivered that toxic kind to bad kids.
hahahaha…………
Reminds me of my niece when she was about four.
She and her bigger brother hatched a scheme, telling my brother and SIL that they wanted to “help” the Easter Bunny by choosing their baskets ahead of time, so all he had to do was fill them.
The parents bought the idea, and week or so before Easter they all went off to Cost Plus on a merry excursion…

Wanted to post this last night, on yesterday’s comments, but I fell asleep.
When you talk about big hair, you can’t forget The Faith Tones…
and yes, they were serious.
I do sense a theme in 1960’s Christian album covers.
For Claude:
French Fried Shrimp
dinner tonight?
…
so, who taught who to fly?
I suspect she got run over.
