This time I do see a little movement… not a LOT, but shadowy rings slightly shifting position, and some vibration in the middle.

The only movement I see is when I scroll the wheel.

Claude, you are so clever! Almost tricked them. Cleo knew better, but did not see fit to save your dumb ass.

Blast you Old Phart Plods and Stelbel! In order to make sure I could go back to Maine next year, I fried some clams and tried them. I broke a tooth! Those shells are hard!!! I don’t see what you find so good about them.

There is absolutely no reason you cannot flatten these into cakes.
 
From: “Canadian Fish Recipes”
Issued by: Department of Fisheries of Canada, Ottawa
Published by: Edmond Cloutier, C.M.G., O.A., D.S.P.
Printer to the King’s Most Excellent Majesty, Ottawa, 1951
 
“Fish Balls”
 
1 1/2 cups flaked cooked fish
2 cups mashed potatoes
1egg
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon finely minced onion
1 cup fine dry crumbs or crushed Corn Flakes
 
To flaked, cooked fish add mashed potatoes,
beaten egg, melted butter, salt, pepper, minced
onion, and beat until light and fluffy. Form into
balls and roll in dry bread crumbs. Chill. Saute (sic)
in hot fat until golden brown, about three
minutes. Yield: six servings.
 
Bonus recipe from the same source; one of the handiest sauces I know.
 
This is the basic soup version, but medium is the handiest (I’d bet a reasonable amount of money that I’ve never intentionally made the thick version).
 
“Thin White Sauce”
 
1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper Melt butter in top of double boiler. Add flour, mix well and cook one minute. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly until thickened. Cook two minutes. Add seasonings.
 
Notes from me:
I always use a stove top burner set on low to melt the butter.
Then thoroughly mix in the flour, salt, and pepper.
Let it cook for about 30 seconds. If it browns a bit, it doesn’t matter, but don’t let it burn.
Then add the milk, turn the burner to medium, and stir while the sauce is heating and thickening.
This sauce, as I said, has two more variations.
Just change the butter and flour amounts to 2 tablespoons each for medium, and 3 each for thick. Everything else remains the same.

 
I use medium for, creamed salmon/tuna (on toast) and cauliflower, cheese and spices of type and amount to taste for chip dips and, of course, sauces flavoured as wanted for anything else (try stirring it into a pan of fried ground beef and cooked vegetables and you’ll have a tasty gravy sauce already on the dish).

I’ve never fixed these or eaten them, but I have a feeling that you are supposed to take them out of the shell before eating……I may be wrong.

Thanks, Happy³, Cass and John brings back memories of a better, a softer, time in our lives. And it reminds me, again, on how good a singer Cass truly was, I noticed how smoothly she blended her voice and pitch when she enjoined John in the first reprise.
They certainly don’t make songs and singers like this nowadays!

I always loved Cass’s voice. Her version of Dream a Little Dream of Me is a long time favorite. Thanks Happy, for posting this.

love Claude’s ‘do not touch’ animations!! I dare say my favorite part is Claudes ‘Ooh shut up’ line. And of course, the snack bar intermission. Great fun.

♫ ♪ ♪ How many walks must poor Claude walk down
Before he uses his mind?
How many buttons passed on his way
Before fate takes him in hand?
Yes, and how many buttons will he have to push
Before he does understand? ♩♪♫♬
 
And that’s all I’ve got
my August moon, spoon, June has Octobered.

I hope that’s on a disconnected line. Otherwise it would be real easy to rob. Of course you have to get a locomotive, first.

Yep, Claude, you really fooled them. Cleo knew, but she wanted to watch the excitement. You will never learn, Claude, and we are glad…….sorry!

No “flies” on Claude. Shoulda had a Red Bull before he pushed the button.

Oh wait… it doesn’t really.

Good morning, Cleophanatics!

Well, now we now why Claude keeps pressing that button… “just because.”

No let up in heat and humididity… sigh

Y’all stay chill. (((((HuGz!)))))
