1) Breakfast, (YAY ! I got one !)
2) Half hearted

4) Ready for anything

18) Hitting below the belt
I agree that this is the answer wanted for # 16, but it’s a reach in my opinion
She is a complete mess, but she did retrieve the dog. And the dog, if anything, is even more of a mess. It will all come clean though, with the possible exception of the dress.
From yesterday.
Another good one from Pete Beard.
From the quality of his work and the times he lived in, it’s my thought that A.M. Cassandre was looked down on by the “real-art” world as early movie stars were looked down on by stage stars; “You’re not really acting / creating art.” I can remember reading articles about the stage/movie thing as late as the seventies. It is an easy conclusion to jump to, I admit, but his basically ignored work does speak for itself.
My crepes fell out of the pan without tearing ! ! !
Thank you ! !
I’m going to modify my crepe recipe, by cutting the flour in half though, and I have to find the lowest temperature at which water will dance in my cast iron pan.
The bottoms turned pancake colour instead of remaining scrambled egg or omelette colour; but the biggest hurdle has been overcome.
Do you not want them to brown? I like them to, but if you don’t, don’t put ANY sugar in the batter.
if you do want my recipe…
My crepes are quite low in flour and contain over twice as much
liquid as my pancakes.
I don’t really follow a precise recipe… I adjust for the quantity I want and what’s in the fridge…
But it’s based on a cup of flour, mixed with a half teaspoon or a little less of baking powder, and a teaspoon of sugar. Then you add a cup of milk, or half milk and half water, and two eggs, and beat it well with a fork or a mixer.
I forgot to say they hold together better if you can then refrigerate the batter for a while… An hour is good… It lets the flour absorb the liquid. Overnight kills the baking powder, but I’m not sure it matters.
When you’re ready to go, you melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in the pan, and pour it into the batter, leaving a little behind to coat the pan.
Mix it in well and if the batter has become thicker than heavy cream or chocolate sauce when you’re ready to pour it, add some milk. Any time it thickens up, in between crepes, add a bit of liquid.
For blintzes,
I use…
no leavening or sugar, one more egg, and be sure the batter is very thin. The filling is about 6 oz each cottage and cream cheeses, mixed with an egg, a little vanilla, and a couple tablespoons of sugar. They’re very rich! A batch lasts me several days… Cooked on one side, filled, folded, and refrigerated to be cooked on the outside just before eating.
Best served with a little jam or fresh fruit and sour cream.

I didn’t really mean nobody had been here…
Nighthawks was here… Or we wouldn’t have the puzzle.
Hi Nighthawks.
Oops… Got #14 I think.
Your time is up
Yes.
Thank you! That was the one that stumped me.
Could be… neither totally makes sense to me.
Yours is probably more likely than mine, but to me, moral would have no reason to be supported at an extreme slant.
I think it’s a pretty bad clue.
i only got 12 tonight. i’ll have to check bach in the morning when i’m mor alert.
goodnightsleeptightiloveyou!
Gnightweloveyoutoo!
#9 and #16 I didn’t solve.
I’ve gotten quite good at those dingbats.

A summary.
From here
You, are correct.
That’s what I’d come up with.
Your #16 added afterwards is correct!
It’s not his… It comes from the answer page he linked to, so it’s supposed to be correct.
But it still doesn’t work in my brain….
because….
A sum OF Marys is not a summary.
Thirteen after the first read through. I’ll be back…
Finished with a score of fifteen (including #16 that I was quite happy with…)

Get out the hose!
awwwww!

Laundry sprays work pretty well these days.
Even 40-plus years ago, when Spray ‘n Wash was new, and my incredibly mess-prone niece was in elementary school…
a good dousing with it completely removed a close encounter with a birthday party at Chucky Cheese….
including a generous slathering of pizza sauce, and multicolored fruit and chocolate toppings from the DIY sundae bar.
….
I never thought I’d see her totally stained and dripping, once white party dress again, but it emerged unscathed.
A little mud? Piece of cake.

Beautiful animal.
he still has his spots. must be a youngster.
Sitka deer. They don’t loose their spots.
lucky them!
Is that a rain deer?
Cleo can’t eat out of her bowl like other dogs… Cos she doesn’t let any other dogs eat out of her bowl.
Too much salt.
It is possible to get reduced sodium soy sauce.
That is what i use.
Sheesh! Just get the soy sauce, Claude! And a little Sambal Oelek.
try some teriyaki sauce, Cleo. it’s not as salty and just a tad sweeter.
rat on a stick
Not Ankh-Morpork, I presume?
Pass.

Cleo is… just differently.
Good morning Cleophanatics! It’s Monday! I think…. yep calendar says so.
Y’all have a great day! (((((HuGz!)))))

You’re quite welcome!
Glad it worked.

Brought over from today’s Ripley’s.
Claude, when are you going to accept that Cleo is not like other dogs. How boring your life would be if that were the case.

Sorry about your dad. So hard to lose a parent.
Thank you

Thank you

Thanks nighthawks
May I offer my condolences, as well.
Thank you, Susan.
My condolences, too.
Thank you Tigressy
