Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
It’s the beard, isn’t it?
“Thank you, Jesus. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus.” On and on and on like that.
What I said: nothing.
What I wanted to say: “Ma’am, I’m cleaning your ears. I’m not washing your soul free of sin.”
Happy Fat Tuesday! If you’re living in a Super Tuesday State, don’t forget to vote.
D.
Folks in the UK celebrate today too, but it’s called Pancake Day! So everyone across the land is munching down on pancakes for dinner. I made a fat dozen; half sweet, half savoury. And filmed it. currently working through the sugar coma, doing well don’t you think?
Weird lady. You must’ve given her an eargasm.
Eargasm . . . ew.
What’s a savory pancake?
My ears are just fine, but if you’re cleaning souls …
Savoury ones are not sweet. Mine were green onion and cheddar with black pepper, and a fav by everyone.
The Russians do a pre-Lent blini (blinis are round and golden like the sun – no pagan symbolism there!) extravaganza called Maselnitsa, which is starting about now (it’s on the Orthodox calendar). Blinis – yummmm! (BTW, I like the crepe-style blinis, not the mini-pancakes).
Happy Ash Wednesday! (Oh, that just doesn’t sound right. Maybe Best Wishes for Ash Wednesday is better…)
Sorry for the follow-on! Misspelled Maslenitsa, which actually starts on a Monday. This year it is from March 2-8.
sxK: yeah, right — like you have sinned.
lyvvie: sounds yum. I wonder how they would go over with my crowd?
kira: I’ve only ever had blinis with caviar (oh SO many times, right?) IIRC, there’s a Polish restaurant not far from your (and Karen’s) old stomping grounds — Warszawa? I wonder if that’s close enough to Russian to have blinis. They had a great appetizer — prunes wrapped in bacon. Yum.
Dean and I are living in sin, Doug – wallowing in in, in fact, so my soul needs all the cleaning it can get.
Assuming I have one …
Oh! Living in sin. And I thought you were talking about REAL sin, like torturing puppies or lying about having a headache.
I don’t torture puppies, but I occasionally make the cat wait 5 minutes for his dinner, which as far as he’s concerned amounts to the same thing.
As for headaches, I’ve actually found a little sin to be a pretty good cure most of the time.
