Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 25, 2014

He’s wearing his “romper stompers” upside down.

This is beyond the pale.

Its a ’bucket ruckus"

Oh, bucket.

He heard Bernice say that pail shoes and socks will be fashionable this spring.

Those buckets remind me… I need to clean out the grinder.

Any takers for a supersize banana dak?

X … would you rather have a beer?

X … I’ve been in pubs where they’ll serve you a yard of ale….

But I’ve never seen two feet of IPA.

Clark has just taken up Tap Dancing.And now he’s practicing the “Bucket Wing.”

X … So would that be a bucket of “Shuffle-Off-to-Buffalo Wings?”

Actually, this is Clark’s way of saying that his trousers are still damp from the dryer and need pressing.

X — Well, wing tips are traditional for tap dancers.

Don’t keep on at him, otherwise he’ll go looking for concrete to fill them.

I went looking for a “buckethead” image that might fit, but I found this instead.

Two years ago, The Experimental Hat Society was still experimenting…

Last year, they’ve decided. They are now The Ballard Bootery Brotherhood. (The women’s component is now known as The Footwear Fascinators.)

The 2014 Experiment:

So, it was only a matter of time before SOMEONE thought of this!

Well, you remember what happened when he made the sound..bzzzzzzzzz………

I’m making some spicy almond crackers right now because I will also begin my vegetarian meatless loaf in a bit. I want to have supper ready to do with little prep once my new friend arrives to spend the day here. He’s been doing some soups and salads at his house. I already made a sauce for the loaf of sautéed onion and garlic with spices in tomato paste and balsalmic. Turned out like a spicy catsup (but all natural). We’ll have a little bean salad on romaine too, and whole wheat toast.

Bev and x_Tech…..I guess he stomps his feet to warm them up in the ice….

He doesn’t like whining and dining.

DAZZ, your dinner sounds good. I am so glad you have a new friend. He sounds like a nice guy.

BEV, I think Clark wanted to make the wine for dinner and he was just trying out the buckets before he put grapes in them. “Clark, you are making me whine.”

I’ll have a pale ale on tap please. Does it come that way?

As usual, my timing is atrocious.

Today’s quote…

“Never just get on a random guy’s camel”

Good night BALLARDEERS.

Hello all….

Another Saturday night at the Tiki….but…um…. where is everybody?

Hey that’s a song……well, not the “Tiki” part…or the “where is everybody” either….but Another Saturday Night

Doesn’t particularly fit my personal state of mind… but hey, a great song by the great Sam Cooke!

X … are you lurking, by any chance?

Brian — me too.

Nabisco “Famous chocolate wafers” (the ones you use for whipped cream refrigerator cake) are close in flavor but thinner and more fragile….besides being rather hard to find and way overpriced when you do. But very nice.

(BTW the refrigerator cake is easy and good…. my mother’s favorite dessert. Looks “fancy” with almost no work. )

@Shika, Thanks! He is.Main ingredients in the loaf (lots- texture from walnuts, celery and carrots; body from tofu, yams and garbanzos; flavor from brewers yeast and soy sauce) my bean salad is garbanzos, kidney and green beans in red wine vinegar dressing with lots of mustard and dill in seasonings and added celery and green onions. Chef Tess, bakeress was source for my almond crackers.

And he made the bed while I was starting breakfast (a very good thing);-D

Anything to outsmart a cat…
