THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

 TCB: To all of my dear friends and Gentle Readers here at Oddball, let me thank you for your shock, shared grief and condolences over the sudden and irreparable demise of my Coconut Cornbread earlier in the week.

To Ellen D. - I *did* get a tiny piece for a taste, following the lead of my mentor, SWMBO, who dug a sliver out of the top in spite of my horrified statement that it was probably full of tiny pieces of glass.

But you know me.

If she did it, then I wanna do it.

It was a disappointment because I think the piece (of cornbread, not glass) was too tiny to even get a sense of the flavor.

As for those of you who commented that I deserved a Piña Colada after that tragi-comic experience, I will say that I have not had one yet.

I have the rum but not the pineapple juice.

And for those who have encouraged me to try again, I'm still dealing with my loss.

But I did make a couple of loaves of English Muffin Bread and a huge round flattened loaf of German Farm Bread at mid-week.

Next time I make that latter bread though I'll put it in a couple of loaf pans and not try to make the rustic round loaf I was trying to accomplish.

The dough is just too liquid.

So now that I have Taken Care of Business, let me get to the business of the day: FUN!
























All right then, my work here is nearly done.

I hope you've enjoyed it.

If you found anything you liked, feel free to pass it on.

Now coming up, whether you bake bread or not (and you non-Arizonans may not have time for it since you're going to lose an hour), have yourselves an absolutely gobsmackingly fine weekend.

And always remember to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . oh, isn't that just great to know . . )

  5. All of these were great, but the Jagermeister one had me laughing out loud (and reminds me of one time in college when I looked like that in the student union as a result of too much cold medicine - honest!).

  8. That last one is Mari! Three of her. She does wait until 5-6 am though. The no filter amused me and the celery. I love it but my older daughter hates it and would agree with that sentiment.

  9. Oh, I missed the coconut cake saga! I have to backtrack!

    I laughed at the rum one. That's pretty much how I approach cooking.

  14. I have the same opinion of celery. Love the motherly wrench. I hate losing an hour, but don't mind gaining one in the fall.

  17. I dropped by your blog as often as I remember that there's funnies on Friday. Sorry to hear about your cornbread disaster but I had never heard of such a thing and so I made some. My son taste the coconut but to me it was just cornbread but it was just cornbread.
