Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Since very few have been in here lately, there are only two kinds of fish on our Friday Fish Fry menu: Cod and Perch. We also have the regular sides of fries, hushpuppies, corn on the cob and cole slaw. Still plenty of brownies and chocolate cake for dessert.
Joe, how has all this wind and rain affected your area? Is there a lot of wind and water damage around?
Mookie, and anyone else leaving for the weekend: hope you have a safe, dry and warm weekend, and take care.
I think I'll grab some perch and perch whilst eating my perch...hehe!
I might actually have time to get trackside this weekend. We'll see how that goes.

Good afternoon everyone. I'll take the cod, hushpuppies and cole slaw.
By the way, this morning I had SERIOUS troubles with my Internet connection--I couldn't browse many web sites or browsing was extremely slow. Fortunately, things are much better now!
Can someone tell me what "hushpuppies" are?? I've heard that term before, but I am not sure what that is.
I baked a batch of molasses/ sugar cookies this morning and took the whole batch to work with me at Wendy's. I got a lot of "Wow!, these are GOOD!!" I've been told that I am working in the wrong place and should be working for a bakery.

I'll have some of CW's Cod and hushpuppies thanks!
Ray, hushpuppies are a corn meal and corn flour dough that is deep fried and they are great with butter.
Later,

"Whilst wearing your "Hush Puppies" "?!?!
(naturally meaning the brand of shoe!)

Dan,
That's why they calls em hush puppies! The cooks (mothers) would take little pieces of the fried batter that fell off of of fried fish and such and toss them out the back kitchen door to the barking dogs, and would say "hush up you little puppies"... thus... Hushpuppies...

I wish that I had a puppy that I could say "hush" to. All of my Colorado cousins have told me that I should get myself a dog, and I have been exploring such a possibility. I've been looking at the web site of our local humane society for small to medium sized dogs that have already been house broken. My only problem is that my next-door neighbor has a black lab that constantly barks and it just drives me up the wall. I know it's not the dog's fault. I figure that most of the time he is barking only because he wants some attention, but there have been times I've wanted to put him on a length of rope, take him on a walk to one of our parks on the bike trail and leave him there, tied to a tree. My sister, when I told her this, said that I have some anger issues that I should deal with first before I try getting myself a dog. And I know she's right.

Ryan, that was the first explanation I heard growing up for that term "hushpuppies" ,
The "other" term didn't come along until about high school while I was delivering some
weekly circulars and sale ads; and doing railfanning.
["My Dogs were Barking so loud, I had to get a pair of "Hush Puppies" "]
Dan, I grew up with cats also, but have had dogs for a few years; and "hushpuppy",
is what our cat says to our dog when she gets too loud!!
(not exactly in those term!!)

A contentious woman is like a constant dripping! (Solomon)
Tom, if she's like our dog, (Huskie/Shepherd mix) she uses her nose to dig out/under.
Ours stays in the house all the time, except for when she needs to go out, definitely
supervised.
Ray, you will enjoy having a companion like that, they really are about the same
as children. (always needing to be spoiled!!)

Again, I'm having serious web browsing problems. It appears that the Domain Name Service server for my ISP is acting up again and hence the reason why I am having very slow web browsing.

When my Sheltie mix was a pup, she quickly found several spots where she could wriggle out under the fence. Some surreptitious spying helped us find those spots which were quickly blocked with flat stones (a couple of which are still there). She never took off, though. We'd put her out the back door (inside the fence) and a little while later she'd show up at the side door (outside the fence).
Evening
matt and I went to ft wayne to science central.he got to experience a canal,what it feels like to walk on the moon and how it feels to be in a sewer(minus the smell).plus they had alot of other displays too.then the sun came out for a bit and we went north to garrett.we saw the q381 and u994 roll into town.CW thanks for the pizza and the pie.going to put an extra blanket on for tonight.very cold for tommorow.

What really concerns me is US 301/52 are only a couple hundred yards away, and I would really hate for her to get hit. Right now, she is on lockdown until we can find where she is getting out, even if it takes a while
Aside from the fact that she'll take off and you'll have to chase her again - let her out while someone hides and watches. She'll tip her hand soon enough. Might take a couple of tries.
Smoking!!!
A major part of my diet for about 40 years. It started with a Kent after a climb up Neversink Mountain to watch trains at Klapperthal in Reading around 1958. I was 12 (and I've always wished I'd be there again, re: Robert Louis Stevenson's character Captain Nares in "The Wrecker") but the exertion and a few puffs made me too dizzy to continue. In Vietnam the people even rejected the awful Kents as barter. But by then it was Lucky Strikes for me. Luckies always tasted better (LSMFT) than Camels, which were reputed to be factory sweepings.
I changed to Camel Filters in the 80's and today bought a carton with all new graphics. A circle for all you former Luckies people around the daggone Camel. Heresy!!!
OMG, Joe the Camel looked like the human male's (ahem) "apparatus".
I've got a three month supply of nicotine patches 1-through-4 on top my fridge. I'm waiting for the will to use them.
Hope the above doesn't upset your dinner plans.
I remain,
Yers

rixflix aka Captain Video. Blessed be Jean Shepherd and all His works!!! Hooray for 1939, the all time movie year!!! I took that ride on the Reading but my Baby caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride.
Breyer's chocolate chip and mint vanilla coming right now. Scrapple-eggs-cheese for breakfast tomorrow. Then it will be beans and sardines for the next two months due to job displacement. B&S sustained me during my son's college days, and for my own time in college it was peanut butter and Welch's grape jelly on toast; PBJ's!!!
Looks like tough times ahead, but like I always say, "to get there you have to be here, and to get here you have to be there."
Any recipes for the penny-pinched?
good sunday morning
the temprature is going to be the warmest right now.the wind is howling outside increasing the wind chill.we have juice coffee and hot chocolate.how about warming up with some oatmeal this morning? or we have pancakes and sausage.time for matt to go to sunday school.
Good Sunday morning. Glad to see the ones who came in last evening!! Joe, thanks for getting everything going this morning. Really appreciate your help around here. Either choice sounds good this morning. I'll fix some cinnamon toast to go with the oatmeal, if you want, and pancakes and sausage sounds good, too.
If anybody needs anything, I'll be in the back, working our Sunday Dinner menu: going to surprise you as to what we'll have to eat this afternoon. Have a good morning, and since the temps will be dropping all day, stay warm, dry and take care!!
