Non-Teaser Tuesday………

Standard

Hi everyone!   Sure seems weird not having a Tuesday Teaser…………….I hope to heck my Mom and Dad never ever have a vacation again cuz this is WEIRD.    Angel Sammy and I have problems coming up with something to say when it’s not ALL ABOUT CLASS.

HOWEVER we do have one thing to talk about relative to class and that’s to REMIND everyone that we have a TEASERWEEN costume contest going on so if you would like to be in it, you should send your photos in to us via our email this week.    Our deadline to submit a photo is October 26th.   You have plenty of time.    We’ll have two days of voting with the winner being announced (most votes received) on HALLOWEEN, Oct. 31st!    WOO HOOO!!!!

There will be a surprise package for the WINNER…………..of course the contest is open to everyone no matter WHERE you live.   MAKE SURE AND INCLUDE YOUR NAME with your photo so we know who’s who!    Come on and enter – it will be fun.

Can’t wait to see you all dressed up in class !!!

Hugs, Angel Sammy and Teddy too

Pre-Teaserween Monday

Standard

Hello Students!  Ready for class?

Yes – we are all present and accounted for Sarge!

Good because the Professors are here!

Good Morning – just a little reminder

that tomorrow is TEASERWEEN……

the day we all get to dress up in our costumes

and have spooky snacks AND get a photo to figure out too!

The Teaser photo tomorrow will be a GUEST TEASER………………….and we will also have a very special slideshow of you students who wanted to be in the official DING DONG SCHOOL TEASERWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA.

Now let me go over the ground rules for pawticipating in our Teaser and what it takes to WIN WIN WIN a badge!

First of all there will be SPECIAL BADGES tomorrow in honor of Halloween.    Be on the ball and you just might get one to display on your blog, or your Facebook page, or Pinterest or your bathroom wall or in your closet or WHEREVER you wish to display it.   

If you are the VERY FIRST to comment on tomorrow’s Teaserween post, you will get this badge – remember all you have to do is comment to get the FIRST COMMENTER badge!

So hurry and get here when you get the magic DING on your computer saying you have incoming mail – you wanna be here first tomorrow right?  Right!

The RULES:

  1. In order to be right with your guess you will have to tell us what CITY/TOWN/VILLAGE the photo was taken in as well as what COUNTRY (if not USA) or STATE (if USA) the photo was taken in…………the whole ball of wax gang – we want to know it all!
  2. We ask that you NOT use any kind of GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH program – or anything LIKE that – to pop in the photo and have your computer tell you where the photo was taken – use your brain – use your eyes – look for clues and see if you can guess it without HELP from your computer!!    That means everyone has the same chance………..YAY!

Assistant Prof Teddy – do you have anything to tell the students?

We are excited about tomorrow’s class!   All of us will be in costume (yes, even Suzie and Sarge) and we will be having special SPOOKY snacks from our Ding Dong School Cafeteria before recess!!

Speaking of Suzie – would you like to give our students a little encouragement about class tomorrow Suzie???

Tomorrow is Teaserween!
My costume will be seen!
You’d better be in class
Or I might have to kick your…….toe.
Special badges we have made
We’ll have spooky lemonade!
I can promise you some fun
Don’t be a hot cross bun!

Thanks Suzie…………………….I think……………………anyway, we hope to see you tomorrow – remember our TEASERWEEN post will pop up at a time unlike our USUAL post time of 3AM EST.   It will be different and you’d better be on your toes (or at least AWAKE!).

I wasn’t gonna show you the Teaserween badges but Professor Angel Sammy and I thought you might need a little extra incentive to show up for class tomorrow – here is what you might win if you’re lucky!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Cool?  Oh yeah!    So we’ll see you tomorrow in class…………………………BE PURRRPARED FOR A SPOOKY GOOD TIME!

I Can’t WAIT !!!!!!!!

See you in the AM!

Bakin’ with Bacon in Baconia

Standard

I May Be King, But I’m Also Head Baker!

Seems our fabulous Chef here in Baconia is not fond of baking – he loves all his other specialties (and so do we!) but baking is not his fave SOOOOOOO, I told him that I would happily take over baking chores even though I am the KING!

First I thought I’d make a Chocolate Bacon Bomb Pie – just the name sounds like something we should all try at least once right?   Bacon and chocolate are a good combo!

Chocolate Bacon Bomb Pie

  • 3 cups pretzel twists (you can use whatever pretzels you have, I used twists)
  • 2/3 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 stick of butter, divided
  • 1 package Fudge Stripes Dark Chocolate Cookies from Keebler (11.5 oz)
  • 12 oz package of bacon, cooked and diced (1/4 cup reserved)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 TBSP vinegar
  • 1 TBSP flour
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  1. Preheat your oven to 350.
  2. Crush your pretzels and in a large bowl combine them and 1/3 cup melted butter and 1/3 cup sugar.  Mix to combine.
  3. Press the pretzel mixture into a pie plate and bake for five minutes.
  4. In the same large bowl (no need to clean it out) crush your chocolate cookies.  Now add the remainder of the butter (melted), the bacon (remember to save 1/4 a cup), eggs, the remainder of the sugar, vinegar, and flour and mix well.
  5. Gently pour the mixture into your pie crust.
  6. Top with the remaining bacon and the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over it and bake for 35 minutes or until the edges of the pie begin to turn golden brown.

Alright – so that’s kind of a complicated recipe but doesn’t it sound NOMMY?????

Every Saturday I will share a recipe with you Baconians………………how’s that for a SHARING and CARING King?

Thanks boss…..that’s a load off my mind!

I think we deserve a few laughs now don’t you?    Some of our favorite giggles!!

And since Tuesday is Halloween (even here in Baconia!)

 I thought you’d like to see my Halloween outfit!  

Think this will scare all the little ghosties

who stop by my throne room for TRICK or TREAT???

Have a snack before you go????

A little BRAIN food perhaps?

YUM….FINGER sandwiches!

Spidery DEVILED eggs?

Don’t put your hands in the punch…oops….looks like somebody already did!

 

Happy Bacon-Ween everyone!

Where’s the door to the throne room???

Bites and Hugs, King Teddy

Tuesday Teaser

Standard

Hear Ye, Hear Ye 

School Is Now In Session!

OOPS…..’scuze me – I just finished cleaning the classroom!

Time to Tease…….!  Remember – quick go comment on this post – you might be FIRST and win a badge!

Sometimes more than one student comments in the first 60 seconds of class so we award badges to all those who are “FIRSTS” in that first minute.    THEN we move on to the main event which is our geography test (aka THE TEASER!).    If you are new in class (and we know we have one new student with us now, Cooper Murphy) or are tuning into class via videolink from the screen in the back of the classroom – here are the rules for TEASER guesses!

  1. When you make a guess as to where the photo was taken, you have to tell us what TOWN/CITY/VILLAGE as well as what COUNTRY (if not in USA) or STATE (if in the USA) it was taken!
  2. When you are figuring out where the photo was taken, PLEASE don’t use some program to do it FOR you – like Google Image Search.   Loading a photo into a program that will tell you where it was taken is NOT CHALLENGING………..we are trying to challenge you……….see if you can’t figure it out for yourself using your very own brain – not the computer’s brain OK???   That also makes it FAIR for everyone.

Now, remember that we have a GUEST Teaser today and tomorrow when we tell you where the photo was taken and WHO took it, we will also tell you who guessed it right FIRST.    But there are more winners than just the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER…………if you ALSO guess right but aren’t first, you still win something and you even win  something if you are WRONG!   This is an equal opportunity classroom alright – everybody gets SOMETHING.     We’ll tell you who gets what tomorrow……….but it will be one of these…………..

 

Sarge, will you ask Suzie to come on in and give us a cheer to inspire the class please?

Front and Center SuzieQ – time to cheer your buns off!

I can’t believe it’s Tuesday!
I call it “Got No Clue Day”
I’m excited about next week
We’ll get to BOO and SHRIEK!
It’s Halloween in class
With costumes that have some sass!
EVERYONE will be dressed up
Whether kitty, human or pup…..
So let’s get on with the guessing
Winning badges is a blessing!
I’m done now so you can CLAP
If you don’t, with claws flexed I might WHAP!!!

I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist a little PUNCH in your cheer somewhere – as usual we had to wait until you were finished for your fangs to come out Suzie!    HAHAHA

Here comes our SECURITY GUARD with the photo for today – he’s had it locked in a briefcase under lock and key so nobody can CHEAT and have a peek.    What a guy……….

Here is today’s Teaser Professor Sam and Ted

Remember – we want ALL the info!!!

Just as Suzie mentioned in her cheer, we are going to have a fun slideshow of all of you in your costumes in class next Tuesday which is HALLOWEEN…..(or TEASERWEEN as we will be calling it!).   All of us will be in costumes including Sarge and Suzie……….but YOU must send ME in email a photo of you in your Halloween costume (.jpg format please) NOT LATER THAN OCTOBER 29th!!    That is the deadline!   

Miss Dingleberry is going to give us some creepy snacks before we head outside to recess next Tuesday…………..so make sure you are here for that – meanwhile, GET TO GUESSING ON THE PHOTO ABOVE – you might win a badge.

I hope you have your thinking cats on!

See you in class tomorrow!!!   GOOD LUCK!!!

Angel Prof Sam and Assistant Prof Ted
