"Hey, you woke me up from my nap just to take my picture?
What a jerk!"
Ah there you are again.
Waiting under the lantern by the big clock.
You might call it Big Ben.
Or Hickory Dickory Clock.
Oh don't try to make any sense out of what I write here, it's just my idle mind winding up for another weekend.
And what precedes the weekend?
Why the Friday Funnies, of course.
BruceAI: "That is all. You may stop laughing now. The humor is over."
The real Bruce: Okay, friends and neighbors. Glad to have you here at Catalyst's Cavern where the humor never stops.
Now try your bestest to have a fine, funny, fulfilling weekend.
And ignore BruceAI, never forget to keep laughing!
Here, kitty-kitty . . .
( . . . ohhhhh . . . )
I tried a new recipe this morning for a Lemon and Yellow Squash Quick Bread.
It didn't turn out as well as it should have because I made several mistakes.
For one, I didn't squeeze all the moisture out of the grated yellow squash after it had sat in a colander in the sink to drain.
And I may have overmixed the batter.
And I may not have greased the pans enough.
And I mistakenly poured the glaze on the finished bread instead of brushing it on.
So . . . it fell in the centers of both loaves and stuck to the pan where the glaze had leaked through, dried and hardened.
Does this cat know her head is upside-down?
Probably, since it's her favorite sleeping pose.
We call her Sweetie-Pie.
When I'm not calling her something else for waking me with her yowls while it's still as dark as her fur.
4 a.m. seems to be when she's ready for her breakfast.
Then while I stagger around trying to get accustomed to being awake at that hour, she goes back to a contented sleep.
Sweetie-Pie indeed!
Bah!
I was intrigued to learn that today is the Day of The Tiger.
It's especially interesting to me because I had an older brother who was given the nickname "Tiger" when he was in high school.
Apparently it was bestowed on him by a coach for his ferocity on the basketball court, the baseball diamond or the football field.
As I recall, he wasn't particularly talented but he didn't let that stand in his way.
He played with passion, shall we say.
He was 7 years older than I was and my only sibling and in our younger days we were constant companions.
When he was involved with sports in high school I used to follow him around to practices and that same coach nicknamed me "Little Tiger".
That became "Little Tige" and later I changed it to "Cougar".
At any rate, here we are.
Posing for a family picture with our Dad.
My wife, as regular readers know, is a master of cuisine.
French, Italian, Chinese . . whatever the flavors . . she can do it.
Without looking at a recipe, as I do slavishly.
It's all in her head.
So, without further ado, let me show you what she created in our kitchen today.
