Hey, mama, are those things going to stop falling or WHAT? And WHEN? Papa has his work cut out for him, but I wish he’d rake them off my snooze bed!
Well, more info on the strawberry tree. I guess I have to write about it as it has taken over our patio, our gravel path, my snoozing place (!) and mama’s kitchen as she makes jam from the grainy fruit.
I have to admit, it’s pretty good, sort of lemony, mama says, but then again, I have only licked a finger. And my only sweets are fruit, if that! Every now and then papa leaves a Magnum stick, completely EMPTY I might add, except for a smidgeon of chocolate in the middle, and he is kind enough to leave it casually on the plate near me as I lounge on my couch. Boy, they are generous around here, haha.
But I wish nama would rake up those strawberries and get then OUT of my personal napping area!
And for those of you youngsters (like me) who may not be acquainted with the title of this blog, mama says it’s what anthros used to say about something very good or extraordinary.
So maybe mama and papa think that I’m the berries, haha.
Oh, by the way, this is what I/we carved for Halloween out of a butternut squash someone gave us. Papa said it was a great idea so that now he doesn’t have to eat it for a week!
MOL Good idea our Dad does not like squash
Hey squah that is too long on the vine is tough and tasteless so being a jackolantern is a nice ending for him, haha. Try squash fritters,,,you Dad will flip!
Those strawberries are making a mess…but it’s kinda cool that your mama can make jam out of them. We love your squash jack-o-lantern!
I think mama is going to make him into something, haha. So glad you like him. We were pumpkin-less.
WOW on the strawberry tree but too bad you lose your napping spot while those fruits are falling down on you! I bet that jam is good though. LOVE YOUR BUTTERNUT GUY – he looks fabulous!!!!
Hugs, Teddy
Oh, thank you, and we did have fun carving it. I think real pumpkinss for carving have thinner skins! This was WORK!
You are the berries, Loulou! That’s one scary looking butternut squash. BOO!
Well, merci, and mama forggot to make him smile!
oooooh – that squash looks really scary – especially with his pointy head!! And yes, those berries would be VERY uncomfortable. But GREAT jam, I’ll bet! We cleaned out the freezer – full of ice – and thawed out Indian shrimp and Papa made Indian rice (with pistachios and onions and raisins – and threw in a few dried cranberries! I didn’t get any. Today Mamma is going to make your Mamma’s Bourride recipe! YUMMM – at least I’ll get some fish!
Oh, to be dining at YOUR house, mama says…two marvelous cooks! Drool….
Cute butternut-o’-lantern. Thanks for the link. I had never heard of the strawberry tree before. XO
Well, the jam is very, very tasty, especially with cheese.
We wonder if Zucchinis could be made into squash-o-lanterns ? We do like butternut squashes.
Well, they had better be pretty big zucchine! And there was lots of squash left to use in a pumpkin pie.
That’s a cool squash Loulou and a strawberry tree sounds rather nice!
