He complimented me on my flaunching
We had a bricklayer on the roof all day, fixing our chimbley. It was a mess. No wonder we had bees!
But our flaunching is apparently in good condition. So there’s that.
A different guy will fix the leak in the kitchen roof, and I can’t tell you what a relief that will be. It has rained relentlessly for days, which means we can’t use the stove top.
I can’t fry anything, y’all! If it ain’t fried, it ain’t cooked!
Changing the subject, I liked one video of a stray dog finding a forever home and now YouTube thinks what I really want to see is videos of horribly injured and abused animals. My home page is a nightmare. I hate the YouTube algorithm.
Speaking of, MST3K is doing their Foreverathon for Halloween again this year. They’re up to Season 5.

Weirdly, it looks like there’s more than one MST3K channel broadcasting a marathon. I don’t understand the difference and I’m not motivated to find out.

‘Flaunching’ sounds like a kinetic intestinal gas+ expulsion episode.

Oven fries, Stoatie. So good! And as long as the oven is hot you might as well bake some cornbread 🙂

If you’re making cornbread, throw in some green and red peppers and some whole kernel corn, shock the locals.
Nom nom nom.
Great, now I detect cornbread on my own morning horizon.
I’ve become house husband since boss lady still works and I don’t.

If you’ve got it, flaunch it!

Mmmm…I haven’t made cornbread in years. Our oven isn’t very good, so it doesn’t rise properly and I gave up.
Don’t tell anybody, but I prefer Yankee cornbread.

If it makes you feel better almost all of the cornbread you get around here these days is Yankee cornbread.
Including the stuff we make, but of course.
Some might pretend it’s “mez-kin”, but, nah.
Sugared cornbread is….sugared cornbread.

I mean, I’ll take the salty cornbread if it gets that way by having bacon crumbled through it.

The first recipe I memorized was for cornbread. I was 10 or 11. It’s the Quaker yellow cornmeal recipe on the carton, and I put 1/4 cup of white sugar in it. JavaMan eats the leftover cornbread buttered and toasted in our little broiler/toaster, and then covers it in honey or maple syrup. I swear it’s better that way than fresh out of the oven.
P.S. I use the same recipe for muffins, but of course use all flour instead of flour/cornmeal. I keep a package of frozen strawberries in the freezer at all times, so I chop up a cup of strawberries to go in the muffins. Sometimes this is what we have for supper 😉
