NOT a Big Bird Fart

These were baked last Tuesday.  Hamburg and rice flour heart treats for the pups.  I didn't like the taste but the girls LOVED them, so this one goes in the book.

I finished one wall yesterday and I'm happy to report that it's not a Big Bird fart, thank you very much, Lurker.

If there's leftover paint, I'm going to do our front door.  And I've always, always wanted to own a bright yellow house with white trim.  Someday I'll get that, but for right now, I have my very own yellow movie room.

Or as Debra said, put a sign over it that reads: Welcome to the Lemon Tart Room.  Which is a brilliant idea.  Makes me feel like I'm in a Roald Dahl book.

Meanwhile, I best get back to chores.  Tonight's Menu is garlic and parsley shrimp over brown pasta.  And if I feel strong enough, chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
 

BIG BIRD GUTS

Today I paint the movie room yellow.  I've upgraded it to movie slash reading room.  Slash peaceful, I can't believe it took us this long to swap the house around, my husband is brilliant, room.

But see, that's too long.

Anyway, time to get one wall done.  I made this little sign below but no matter what I do, frickin' Blogger keeps screwing with the background and making it not white and the words, not lemon tart yellow.

That's right.  We went with Lemon Tart.  When we saw it we both liked it at the same time.  So that works for me.

Though right now, I'm a tad nervous that the room will look like someone shot Big Bird all over the walls.

Minus the feathers.

744 Posts & Tabletop Sunday at The Manor

Here's what my work bench looks like.  Or, my idea of a tabletop game.  Making dough, using Paul Hollywood's Pizza Base.  Love this dough because it's super workable.

What I do though, is shape six portions before the first prove/rise/fermentation.  This way, when I go to use them, they're ready to shape into pizza rounds or sub rolls.
 
No muss, no fuss.  Just good simple food.

Meanwhile, my sore throat is gone and Poopyhead and the pups are now awake from their nappy naps.  And, I just heard Ghost Adventures go on in the movie room.

It's a real nice Sunday, here at The Manor.

PS: I just realized this is post 744.  Hot dog.

This container may rest in or out of the fridge,
depending on when I want to bake.

My BIG Saturday Plans

Friday Question: Snails, Anyone?

Today I'm resting in the movie room with a sore throat, watching Lucy.  Which brings us to Friday's Question.

Have you ever eaten snails?  If not, would you?

Me?  I dunno.  I would want to, but given the opportunity, I'm not sure I'd be able to do it.  Maybe if they weren't in a shell, and looking up at me.  Maybe if they were chopped.

Just not sure.  How about you?

PS: I love when Lucy says, "Waiter. This food has snails in it."  And then puts that thing on her nose.  See below.

I've seen it a million times, I still bust out laughing.

Somebody Hand Me a Paint Brush

I'm done.  I finished the stockpile wall.  Wooooo!

I moved everything to the movie room closet, with the exception of laundry soap, crapper paper, and paper towels.  Those have been moved elsewhere, and I'm as happy as a pig in shit.

Somebody hand me a paint brush because I'm chomping at the bit, to get that movie/reading room painted.

Life is good.
