Has anyone else noticed that since WordPress started sending out “Subscription Confirmations” they’ve stopped e-mailing us when we get replies to our breathtakingly brilliant comments?
When Claude gets cleaned up, he could make these.
While this does require the use of an oven, it’s only for 10 or so minutes (but see my note below).
And simple things are sometimes best.
Cleo, of course, will end up eating six of the eight servings.

FRANKFURTERS with POTATOES
8 frankfurters (all-beef are best for this)
Prepared mustard
2 cups mashed potatoes
1/4 cup chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon chopped pimento, if desired
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Cover frankfurters with boiling water and let stand for 8 minutes.
Split lengthwise and spread with mustard. Blend mashed
potatoes with parsley, onion, pimento and pepper. Heap the
mixture on top of the frankfurters. Brush with melted butter.
Place on broiler rack 3 inches under heat. Broil until delicately
browned, about 10 minutes. Makes 8 servings
Note from me:
The broiling time is way off. Keep a steady eye on them from the start and remove as soon as the “delicate brown” colour appears (believe me, it won’t take anywhere close to 10 minutes).
Chef’s whites… including the tall toque blanche… might be a little much for opening a couple of cans of mushy “ravioli”…
Or maybe they’ll inspire Claude to attempt a complicated recipe far beyond his level of kitchen skill.
…
There doesn’t seem to be any intermediate with people who offer you dinner, but can’t cook…
They either want to serve you a peanut butter sandwich and a can of soup, or pull off something nearly impossible from your facsimile 1903 “Escoffier“.
..
Well… Cleo has re-costumed him…
now he looks ready for his close-up in a McDonald-land movie.
…
Let that inspire you, Claude…. just go pick up some burgers and call it a night…
keeping what’s left of the kitchen out of harm’s way.
Next time, get some hounds-tooth trousers. Maybe they’ll help.
Vincent Van Gogh
I had too. 🙂 Lovely song.
I never knew the song was called “Vincent” nor listened seriously to to lyrics. I was missing a lot. Now it all makes sense.
….
I don’t have all of them yet, but we used to call #9 a “Hinkey Pinky…”
Here are my answers to today’s brain exerciser.
2) long song
3) broom room
4) pink drink
5) dry fly
6) loud crowd
7) free bee
8) sad dad
9) funny bunny
10) swift lift
Cool! #1 and #10 were giving me problems…
Got all but # 10. Thanks!
Got all of them. Easy peasy.
For some reason #4 took some time. The rest of the test I passed fast.
A rabid Claude — RUN!
Foaming at the … um… everywhere?
Confound it, JP! Cleo is just imitating art…. Don’t you remember the Tiajuna Brass album cover for :”Whipped cream”?
(I tried to show a picture, but I couldn’t get it to copy)
Thanks, Tigressy. I knew I could count on you to come up with the picture.
Here it is with the title track cued up:
Even more fun, Alexi. Thanks.
Yes i do! I always liked that album.
A little risque for the 60’s?
What? You don’t remember opening credits on James Bond films?

whew! excuse me. I had to get my breath back…..
.
I’ve yet to get anything from them at all. Even though i click on the bell.
Have you subscribed and are you logged in?
yep, that’s why I don’t check to be notified anymore and just go back now and then to check!
I’ve stopped trying, too. I thought it was just me.

even probably professionally photographed it still doesn’t look any good to me
I agree.
The hot dog is supposed to go on the bottom…
I made a nice peach cobbler this evening. And the house is still standing.
Yum! That sounds good.
Any leftovers? Mmmm..
and I’ll bet it looks like this
That looks better. 😀
Cleo must remember the ‘last time’. At least Claude should be safe from whatever disaster he causes.
That’s the point, Claude. Cleo knows you’re about to make gazpacho.
Which requires no cooking….
Chef’s whites… including the tall toque blanche… might be a little much for opening a couple of cans of mushy “ravioli”…
Or maybe they’ll inspire Claude to attempt a complicated recipe far beyond his level of kitchen skill.

And, there you have Random Musings by Susan Sunshine!
Better safe than sorry.
Is Cleo a girl-scout?
How many badges is that action worth?
Good morning Balladeers, ((((( Plods))))) and Miss Susan.
Oh hi!
Today’s recipe… How to Make Claude Look Like a Poodle.
And there’s cake!
(((((HuGz!)))))
Oh wait. That’s puddle…
death by chocolate
.,.,.,
Love, love love Johnny Cash!
STILL speaking about trombones….
I’ll bet those are Montana cattle! Loved how they sang along.
Slowest stampede ever!
Indeed it was!
That was a hoot! Cattle lovin’ a serenade, even with a sad-sounding trombone!
I like the late-comers running up from behind! Now then, are you going to feed us?
Claude better not leave the kitchen or Clara will think that a Bigfoot came in.
With Cleo on safety patrol, Claude will never get dinner on the table. Maybe take-out?
