it looks like a basset sea serpent…. no rear legs, its body stretching out into a long tail…

with a steady gaze, and giant wind-catching sails that unfurl from its head.

I didn’t really want to look, but there they were. 9 differences in a couple minutes.

…..and, the animal video was sooo good — every single clip was really heartwarming — even the one with the snake!

Thanks for the reminder of the Righteous Brothers. How nice to be born a bass-baritone with a little brother who is a tenor and can sing in perfect harmony. (Correct me if I am wrong on the voices).

Ah, Janis! I remember the first time I heard this, we were in a van with our prof going from Boston to an Anthropology film festival at Temple (Philadelphia). We gleefully chimed in.

My husband sang in the choir with Bill Medley in Santa Ana, Ca. My husband’s little claim to fame.

“What’s so special about John Steuart Curry?”

Nice information but a bit frustrating for an art video…

We only get to see bits and pieces of the works she’s describing…

I wanted to view “The Tornado” but there’s never one clear shot of the entire print.

I was wondering why some of the people were in different positions from what we saw yesterday…. then I realised it’s a different picture.

I don’t want to make this post huge…. so I’ll hide them until you want to see them…

The one in this video is a lithograph called

The Tornado.

Yesterday we saw his painting…

I was just looking for a very short informational video to include here. You did exactly what I would expect people to do if they want more information: search further!

Sometimes, if I see a posted video that’s longer than I want to devote to it, I’ll just skip it. But if a 5 minute video can grab interest and spur people on to search for more, then…….“that’s a good thing, Martha!” (referring to Martha Stewarts catchphrase)

Thanks for adding to it!

Here I am, Cleo pals and puzzle people…

Bringing you this week’s solution….

It won’t solve the problem of Cleo pining for weaponry, tongue hanging out and nose dirtying the window glass…

But it will solve the problem of your pining for a place to check the differences you found.

As ever, give it a good try, first….

Then Click Here!

….

A Note: just in case you came to Cleo since the last time I said this…. or you need a reminder…

It’s best to right-click the puzzle, and copy or save it, so you can paste it into or open it with your favorite simple drawing or image editing program.

I use Microsoft Paint, which is included in Windows.
…..

That way you can mark or circle the differences, as you find them…. and you won’t lose track.

Also… be sure to click my solution image to see it larger.

I got 8 this time. One I just totally missed – not paying enough attention!

I only found 8 this time. The one I missed was a sneaky one! I probably
wouldn’t have found it even if I spent more time…

The last painting is too close to home what happened during the flooding several weeks ago…

Heartbreaking.
Parents and two children on their rooftop, the water kept rising…
Each of them took one child and tried to reach the nearest trees…
The mother and one child didn’t make it…

How can you possibly ignore that face?? She’s probably just seeing if there’s something in there that she doesn’t have. Unlikely, but possible.

Good morning cleophanatics!

Here are the tortillas.
 
From: Uncle John’s Original Bread Book
By: John Rahn Braué
Illustrated by: Herb McKinley
Published by arrangement with Exposition Press Inc.
in 1978 by Jove Publications, Inc. (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich),
New York, N.Y.
 
JAUN’S TORTILLAS
 
2 tablespoons lard or shortening
2 cups corn meal, blended with
2 cups flour (unbleached) and
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water, warm
 
Cut shortening into flour blend.
Add water and stir into ball.
Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead for “a spell,” until smooth.
Shape into baseball-size balls, and let them rest while you check your griddle or pan.
Roll balls out thinner than pie cough, and cook on ungreased hot griddle, browning both sides for bread, one side only if they are to be filled and rolled.
When used as dippers, cut dough to size, sprinkle with salts, herbs, or powders, fry in shortening until crisp.
Cook up ahead and reserve.
 
Notes from me.
The unbleached flour call is because the author wants us to eat healthily. White will work just as well.
 
I’m not sure about this, but here it is.

Quesadilla Casserole
 
Nonstick cooking spray
6 corn tortillas, cut into wedges
2 jars (each 16 oz. salsa verde (mild or medium)
1 can (14 to 19 oz.) white beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup sour cream, thinned slightly with milk (whole milk3.25% milk fat)
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
 
Preheat oven to 375° F and spray a baking
sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place tortilla
wedges on the pan in a single layer and spray with
cooking spray. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until
slightly toasted and warm. Place one-quarter of the
salsa in a 12-cup casserole dish. Top with one-
third of the tortilla wedges, arranged in an even
layer. Place half the beans on top, then another
quarter of the salsa, one third of the sour cream and
one-third of the cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing
with the remaining tortilla wedges, sour cream, salsa
and cheese. Bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes,
or until browned and bubbly. Serves 4
