Teaser Tell All Time

Hello Students!   Today’s the day we tell you the good and bad news.

That’s right – good news if you guessed the Teaser correctly and bad news if you didn’t!     Actually it’s ALL GOOD here at Ding Dong Fish School.    Whether you win or lose we hope you enjoy your class today.

“I’m trying to be pawsitive about this whole thing….but…..”

Keep the faith Leroy.   Let’s start things off with letting you know who was our FIRST COMMENTER in class yesterday morning!     We went live at 7:55AM (EST) and one minute later our FIRST STUDENT SIGNED IN………………WHO WAS IT????    Can I get a drumroll please??

Who??  SHARON – that’s who!!

YAY FOR MISS SHARON!!!!!!!

Here’s your badge:

Yay for ME! I was FIRST COMMENTER on the Teaser post of May 24, 2022 FAST AND FURIOUS – that’s me!

Then we unveiled this week’s Teaser photo which – by the way – was a GUEST TEASER PHOTO!    It was submitted by one of our newer students, Willow Croft.    We think it was a GREAT photo for a Teaser and here it is:

This is Egmont Key in Florida – it’s a deserted island and has several “claims to fame” – here are some links you can visit!

Willow, we have a badge to thank you for your photos and a GREAT Teaser!    THEN we’ll tell everyone WHO GUESSED THE TEASER FIRST!!

OUR WINNER IS CSILLA!

Congratulations!  Your badge:

SPARK on Monday

“SPARKS” was started by Annie McGuffy of McGuffy’s Reader but ended when she stopped blogging some time ago.  It was meant to be a way to start out each week with with a meaningful thought – something that spoke to each of us and hopefully everyone else who read it.  Although Annie isn’t currently blogging, a lot of us who enjoyed her SPARKS decided to keep posting SPARKS of our own.   Why?   Because sometimes we need a little “spark” in our lives and these posts were meant to at least be a PART of that effort.   Please feel free to post your own SPARK on your blog and let everyone know you have…….we get energy from each other that way.

If you take a look at what you find when you google “inspirational thoughts” you will find dozens of things that you will tell yourself you FEEL…..many of them STRONGLY so.   These days a lot of things hit me hard like that.   Thoughts about the future, about how the world is changing – that kind of thing in particular.     I did find this quote though and it kind of sums a lot of things up for me – maybe for you too?   AND it’s from one of my favorite people – Jane Goodall.

 

As they say – the future is ours.    At least I hope it is!

Hugs, Pam

Sunday Selfie Blog Hop

Sunday again!   Selfie time!    A fun blog hop hosted by The Cat On My Head and all you have to do is load up a photo of YOU (or someone!) and hook up to our host’s blog to join the fun.    Click their badge above if you want to link!

This is a photo of me that Mom took yesterday – it was a super hot day in Virginia – a breeze came up in the afternoon but it was still 93 and I like shade when it’s like that of course………so do Mom and Dad and that’s why since they “escort” (babysit!) me when I’m outside they need chairs or a bench to sit in.    I just tuck myself under a shady bush.  OR sometimes if I find a spot that has some available dirt that isn’t grass-covered I lie in it like this.   Mom says I’m just a dirtball whatever that is.    I think this photo of me is a LOT like one we just did of me in the FRONT YARD – a side view (because I always turn away at the last possible second!)…..at least this is the other side of me this time!  HAHA

Mom decided NOT to put this one in some sort of artsy filter – just leave it as is, and make it into a puzzle for you puzzlers out there!!

Here’s the puzzle – just click on this little photo of yours truly!

Good Luck!!   Hugs, Teddy

P.S.  I’m apparently rusty on puzzling – took me well over 20 minutes to do this puzzle of ME…….EEEEEK!

Bakin’ With Bacon and King Teddy

Hi Loyal Subjects and Bacon Buddies!  Ready for a new recipe??

This one is absolutely, positively as delicious as it sounds.    It’s also RIDICULOUSLY easy!    I thought it might be something some of you have never had before too and it’s a recipe my Mom says she remembers from when she was a kid living in Alabama.    That was back in the dinosaur age – I didn’t know they ate cole slaw back then but apparently they did!

Anyway, this really is tasty stuff………………you’ve GOTTA try it!

Hot Bacon Cole Slaw

INGREDIENTS

2 bacon slices (or more !!)

1 (16-ounce) package ready-to-eat coleslaw

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar

3 tablespoons water

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

¼ teaspoon ground red pepper

Directions

• Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp; remove bacon from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet. Set bacon aside.

• Add coleslaw to drippings, and sauté over medium-high heat 3 minutes. Add vinegar and next 4 ingredients (vinegar through red pepper); cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; crumble bacon, and stir into coleslaw mixture. Serve warm.

 

Well now if that doesn’t sound good what the heck does?!!    This is amazingly yummy with BBQ which is how my Mom used to have it.   She and her family would go to a little roadside shack that had the BEST BBQ and they also had this cole slaw.    DY-NO-MITE (she says – I have to take her word for it because I don’t eat the stuff!!).

Give it a whirl……………….trust me……………..

Oh yeah!  See you next week!

The King
