Face facts, Clara. No one else at home gives a hoot about Alice the former next-door neighbor. And anything after that was just the sound of the wind. But you said something about pie!That is newsworthy!

All Claude and Cleo heard is pie. They certainly don’t care about Edna’s new cat.
As the proprietor of both Susan’s Pie Shop … right next door to the Tiki Bar on Ballard Street… and Susan’s Bakery … around the corner from the Tiki Bar, and a few doors down from my hair salon …
Pardon me? Oh… Susan’s Salon, of course…
I approve most of these comments.
…
I’m also obviously a very creative namer of businesses.
But it’s not the name… it’s the pie.
…
Fresh for Wednesday morning… key lime, pecan, Oregon blueberry, Washington apple, Washington cherry, boysenberry, banana cream, chocolate cream, and cherry cheesecake pie…
I don’t have time, but … cough… of course I make time.
It’s hardest in summer, when my tomato farm and cannery are also going full out.
…
With the Monkey gone, having to take over his Sheriffing duties and his 12 hour day shift as manager at the Tiki, PLUS my 12 hour night manager shift and bookkeeping there…
I admit, it HAS been a little tight.
…
That’s why I keep trying to catch him.
Besides his being a good friend who went missing….
with an apparently worrisome tale to finish telling…
I want to make sure he’s really going to take back his jobs.
Those two sponges are definitely behaving like lemons today.

LEMON SPONGE PIE
Temperature: 425° F. / 350° F.
Time: 15 Minutes / 30 Minutes
Plain pastry (for a 9″ single crust pie)
1/4 cup margarine or shortening (use a vegetable shortening)
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3 eggs, separated
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 cups milk
Line 9″ pie pan with pastry; moisten edge; flute on rim. Cream together margarine or shortening and sugar; blend in flour; add unbeaten egg yolks; beat well; add lemon juice and rind and milk; beat till smooth; fold in stiffly beaten egg whites; pour into uncooked shell. Bake in hot oven (425° F.) for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350° F. and continue baking until done. Serves 6.
Notes from me:
When turning the oven down, don’t take the pie out, just turn the oven down.
If using a commercial bottled lemon juice from concentrate the measurement is still 6 tablespoons (There is no reason you couldn’t use lime juice for this recipe either.).
The 350° F. / 30 Minutes timeline is a guideline.
Test at the end of 30 minutes by sticking a knife in the centre of the pie; if it comes out clean (and it will be obvious if it’s not) the pie is done.
The hardest thing was remembering to count the most obvious one.
Like Steve, I can also find more if I let my mind loose… but I’m pretty sure they’re not ones the artist intended.
…
That artist, btw, is Mexican surrealist painter Octavio Ocampo, who calls his own style metamorphic.
His probably most famous paintings are of Don Quixote, and religious or traditional subjects … but he’s still working, and has done portraits of people like Marilyn Monroe, Jimmy Carter and James Dean.
….
I don’t know of any contemporary artist whose works are more stolen, appropriated, and plagiarized.
You find them used for puzzles like this, but also printed without attribution on cheap imported trays and dish towels, and even crudely hand copied onto painted furniture, mostly Mexican, but not always.
He’s fairly well known in Mexico, but not as internationally famous as he ought to be.
I used what skills I have to search the ‘net for a posted answer, but could not find one and I missed that black colour change entirely (I was looking for circular arcs not colour changes every time I looked for it during “idle time”)
As I missed it entirely and it is different, I like you (and bambushie), will tentatively accept it as the answer the puzzle author meant.
She says she’s much improved and will be able to post something for tomorrow. Says she doesn’t know what it was but she was on her back for three days. She says she’s physically tired from lack of sleep but is feeling much better.
I didn’t know exactly what year this was, but the theatre marquee gave the
only visible clue—the movie was made in ’41— that was prior to the U.S. entry
into WW2, when dashing young men like R.R.’s character fought
on the side of the Brits
I see Clara going on and on, then it comes to me why men don’t listen when they should. Their ears are suffering from overload, and have shut down. 😉

Claude’s hearing is focused on only one thing. I thought Clara would have known that by now.
JOB OFFER! Olla Cleomigos y Cliomigas. I got a JOB OFFER! It’s been 17 months since I was let go as part of the tech center closing here, and I finally goa a JOB OFFER! Not only do I have a JOB OFFER for a contract R&D position, but I still have an interview planned at another company for a permanent R&D position. Who knows, next week I could have 2 JOB OFFERS! Anyway, one in the hand beats two in the bush, so if I can’t get a quick offer on the permanent position in time I’ll take the contract JOB OFFER!

Ah. “Misty Valley”. Nice choice for morning fog.
I’d rather go to Misty Mountain.
Face facts, Clara. No one else at home gives a hoot about Alice the former next-door neighbor. And anything after that was just the sound of the wind. But you said something about pie! That is newsworthy!
All Claude and Cleo heard is pie. They certainly don’t care about Edna’s new cat.
Or any of the other goings on.
Pie? Did I hear PIE!!?
Any good vanilla ice cream to go with that?
Wild thing, you have a pie thing!
Oh come on! The Troggs are not in the same universe as John Lee Hooker and his band!
John Lee Hooker has nothing on pie, so Buy, Buy Amereican Pie.
Did someone say “pie”?

Slices also served at the Tiki.
A slice of pecan and cherry cheesecake please. Yumm!
Washington Cherry sounds delish!
With all you do around this place, you have time to run those 3 fine establishments?
I don’t have time, but … cough… of course I make time.

I found all nine with no problems whatsoever.
I found six…….but, then, I have always been ordinary.
I, also found all nine. Took me longer than I’d like to admit. This was fun, NH.
I found twelve (plus two cats and a dog) but I think most of those are the result of pareidolia…
I found all nine too…
The hardest thing was remembering to count the most obvious one.

Good morning, Cleophanatics and ML!
There’s pie? Whoo hoo!
Y’all keep +. (((((HUGZ)))))
Good Sunny morning, Plods.
Did you mention CHOCOLATE covered cashews day. Count me in.
yellow bat day
the other kind of yellow bat day
What’s the significance of yellow bats?
The baseball kind, I mean.
Not the live kind with yellow fur, yellow paint on them, or hepatitis.
This is supposed to phunny, but it’s yesterday for me.
Not the snowbanks, but the visibility.
North Idaho ~ nine months of winter.
We had a skiff of snow yesterday, and frost this a.m. Spring.
Mid-seventies again today in BC and I’m running out of sunscreen! Will this heat wave never end?
Supposed to get up to 57 today. Nice!
Here too… Well, some days down in the low 70’s.
But chilly rain coming Sunday and Monday… Highs under 50°.
I just know the others will feel sorry for us.
😉
Mmmmmmmm. Two of my favorites: Sons of the Pioneers, and Springtime in the Rockies! Thanks, Steve.
I’ll take the cashews, lightly salted – hold the chocolate.
We had about 3 inches in Michigan. Covered everything. Broke a big branch of one of my lilacs. Boo hoo.
But most of it melted today.
I used what skills I have to search the ‘net for a posted answer, but could not find one and I missed that black colour change entirely (I was looking for circular arcs not colour changes every time I looked for it during “idle time”)

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. 🙂
You are very welcome.
I challenge you to have a username more than 50 characters long, you old scalawag. That is without repeating yourself

that’s what you are
nighthawks the nickname nitpicker
Um… “Rotifer ANOTHER THING I LIKE ABOUT WORDPRESS IS NO 50 CHARACTER LIMIT IN THE USERNAME Thalweg”
is 93 characters counting spaces.
Good morning Balladeers, ((((Plods))) and Miss Susan.
Any word on StelBel?? How is she doing??
She says she’s much improved and will be able to post something for tomorrow. Says she doesn’t know what it was but she was on her back for three days. She says she’s physically tired from lack of sleep but is feeling much better.
That is such good news! Thanks for the update!
Yes, thank you!
Good to know!
I commanded her to get better.
What choice did she have?
Could you please command me to get rich?
NYC –1941
Try Rotifer Cranky Old Yank…etc.
I didn’t know exactly what year this was, but the theatre marquee gave the
only visible clue—the movie was made in ’41— that was prior to the U.S. entry
into WW2, when dashing young men like R.R.’s character fought
on the side of the Brits
It sure would be nice to have captions, if you know the where and when.
whoosh
I didn’t see the title above the picture…
Sorry.
