Answers to the "I just crack myself up!" inbox, please.

I could indeed, Jamie!
BTW, I have seen better retirement plans than yours!
Some people actually don't go to work! To each his own....

Kathy - your puzzle seems to have shut the site down!?

World!
Interesting picture. We use Melaleuca products including the tea tree oil, but I think these are from a different variety of melaleuca.
Shosho, enjoyed the photos. Looks like you had a great time.

A busy day here. A friend will be by for lunch while she is in town. I cooked some fresh crook neck yellow squash and cornbread. Also a chicken with egg noodles skillet dish. I expect she will carry in something to add to the menu.
Have to see to MIL as far as her lunch and other routines and More...

It must have, Jamie. No answers, yet! I live in hope....

Shosho, great photos!

Errands to run. Temps in the 3 digits. 'Nuff said.

Enjoyed your pictures, shosho! I'll be riding my bike to the health club soon. I don't want to know what the temperature is. If I go fast enough, I'll make a cooling breeze. Then again, if I go too fast, I could keel over from heat stroke. Life comes with too many options. Sigh!

Good morning. I'm awake, almost, still haven't finished my cuppa. No work today, but a social day instead.

Hello,hubby is asking for the earplugs as my voice is almost back to normal.LOL
Can't stay its Mums morning for her coffee with friends. Thats a tall paperbark, Kate.

Good Morning all! It's a public holiday here in Brissie for the Ekka. It has stopped raining but I'm not planning on going anywhere today. It is just too miserable. Aah, wet days, good books and nanna naps. What more could a person want!

Phantom - no improvements on the phone situation. More...

I'm off of my pool classes tomorrow - have this off once in a blue moon - so off to Chicago to see a play - just picked up tickets for Billy Elliot -- dog days are here -- but looking forward to a great day -- and I have the next day off too !!!! More...

speaking of Blue Moons - I'm enjoying a HoneyMoon - made by the Blue Moon Brewing company - started off to get a raspberry lemonade - but Hey, I'm on a mini vacation .. what next -- hair done -- nails ....

Hazel - I would like to be that friend - I grew up with Johnny Bread - and love it - not sure what the difference is ... but hope you had a good lunch - sounds great

if you would have added hush puppies - I would of been on the road

Yes, Mymare, we had a good lunch and supper from the left overs. The chicken dish turned out good. One of "my make something from nothing" endeavors. Hubby says he's glad we had nothing to make it out of.
I am not sure what Johnny Bread is, unless it is fried like pancakes but made More...

Kathy - your puzzle is driving me crazy - I usually do well at those things, but my brain is still in summer/vacation/retired mode. It may come to me in the middle of the night - if so I will send an answer before looking at tomorrow's "stuff".

Okay, Kathy - just sent you my best shot.

I am off to bed.

Good morning everyone. For some reason I can't submit comments to the jigsaw puzzle pages but I notice others have been successful. Has anyone else had a problem?

Ok someone, please explain, what are hush puppies? Here they are a brand of shoe!

Basically Hush Puppies is an international brand of contemporary, casual footwear for men, women and children...but the Hush Puppies name is licensed for non-footwear fashion categories also, including clothing, eye wear and some toys.

I only know Hush Puppies as footwear so I have just googled it.
Hushpuppies (Cornbread Balls) are a savory, starch-based food made from cornmeal batter that is deep fried or baked in small ball or sphere shapes, or occasionally oblong or ring shapes. Hushpuppies are a comfort food and frequently More...

2:09 - a little longer than normal. Hi all.

Bluey, thanks for that. I've just managed to post a comment on there although I couldn't on any of the categories before or last night.

Hush Puppies Recipe

1 cup corn meal
1 cup flour
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1-1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 finely chopped medium onion
1 cup milk

Prepare skillet or deep fryer with all purpose oil and heat. Stir together dry ingredients. Add milk More...

The traditional answer to "what is a hush puppy?" is that the cowboy chuck wagon cooks would make cornbread balls to feed the dogs so they wouldn't beg and whine while the cowboys ate:"Hush, puppy." (Get it?)

So, basically, a hush puppy is dog food. Eat up! More...

p.s. Jane, the two above posts go together since I added variations on the recipe at the end of the second post. my bad.

My eyes are drooping, so it's time for me to pursue slumber. Goodnight.

add a little corn to those hush puppies - and you can have a corn fritter - little like a hush puppy

our Jiffy mix - made our Johnny Bread -- cornmeal - goes well with Chili == but to hot for anything but a BLT

Thanks, Plum, and Phantom not from The Opera for the recipes. Like Viv, I love learning new stuff here so the recipe and the reason behind the name are great!

Mmmm. Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich on lightly toasted whole wheat with mayonnaise. Good idea, Mary! A perfect breakfast food. Too bad I don't have bacon in the house.

Well, people. My internet is working today - unlike yesterday - but I shan't enjoy it, as I will be at the state capital with Starr, as she is moving to take a temporary job and has asked me to help her check out the place she will probably be staying.

So I can't challenge John to the first post in a couple hours. Who will John's challenger be?

Today in summary....


Easy – Paperbark tree. This is a noxious weed in Florida.

Jeanine – Stopped watching Molly to post first.

Vibrant Vicki – Is feeling a bit warped.

Lots of hoorays for the paperbark photo.

I had always heard that hushpuppies originated in the South and are cooked in the oil that fish is deep-fried in. Hence, they are almost always served with fried fish at seafood restaurants. I don't think cowboys deep-fried their food. For what it's worth, here's what Wikipedia has to say on the More...

All this talk of food has made me hungry, and I won't be eating for a couple more hours!

Sure did, Phantom, pay my bill, that is. I guess you mean the sudoku membership payment.

Haven't seen any mention of spoon bread from the Southern (US) contingent - now, that's good eatin'

Gee, we're so close to a new page I may as well give us a shove. With a heave, ho!
