COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

I missed your birthday. Happy birthday anyway and everyday. The feast looked wonderful but the turnovers are making me hungry for cherry ones with iceing. I'll have to get baking...

Thanks, but not quite turnovers. Proper name is Warbat bil Ishta. These are made similar to baklava, with multiple layers of phyllo dough, in fact three separate layers each consisting of 9 sheets of phyllo for a total of 27 total sheets. Inside is a special creamy layer. It’s all then cut into triangles, baked, and drizzled with simple syrup & orange blossom. Like turnovers, tastes best when warm from the oven.

Ogh, and thanks for the birthday greetings too.

Took Cinder to the vet today for her final puppy visit. She got an all clear health wise and a kudos on her weight control.. I had to cut her feed back some due to excessive weight gain but now she’s right on track.. 24.6lbs

I can think of so many fillings and drizzles with the pastries...and yeah! another day older.

That's funny. Razberri is on a diet too before she gets overweight. My vet remarked about her dewlap being dewlappy. Well she is a 3 year old mini lop and pudgy but at a trim little 5 and a half pounds.so...I'll try to listen to both of them.

Closer!

A top hat for frosty?

A top hat for frosty?

....and we have a winner!

Here’s a different picture clue...zoomed in on a few in-laid features.

 

[EllieMay]

Closer!

Maybe it’s Frosty???

 

[EllieMay]

A top hat for frosty?

Damn! You beat me to it!!! Lol

 

[Maro2Bear]

You and BamBam are hitting the nail on the head. I guess no more clues needed now. Just the final reveal.

Especially with big dog like my Newfoundland Jackson weight management is critical. He always acts like he hasn’t been feed in days too!

What a lovely garden. Do you want to come and do mine as well?

My wife and I have terrible green thumbs. Good thing I don't have to water rocks.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Wow, that is a lot of bags.

It was actually cheaper than having it delivered in bulk. Unless the landscape company misquoted me. Plus then I would have had a pile of rocks that I would have to pay someone to move to the flower beds. It was easier and cheaper to put a bag on my foot rests and drive it to where it was needed. I could throw the bag about five feet. So I could get it near my wife.

 

[Ray--Opo]

It’s true. I’ll get restless if I’m edging sidewalks with tweezers!

Speaking of Florida....where’s @Ray--Opo ? Out enjoying his sunshine?

Hey Mark, sunshine has been sporadic. 70's and windy. Not the greatest weather for Opo so he spends a lot of time in the box.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Yeah, @Ray--Opo is back. You were missing in action for a few days! Hows the sunshine these days? Sunny, and below freezing this morning.

Hhmm, colder than I thought..

Last week has been low 70's and windy with some rain. I think we had 1 day of clear skies. Poor Opo goes outside at his usual time to bask and the sun doesn't show up.

We've finally had a few frosty nights here, but the days are still up in the upper 50sF. I used to laugh when people said "Global Warming" but maybe there's something to it. I read where some country in Asia is vowing to plant trees in aid of global warming. I just skimmed the headline, so can't really relate the story, but hey! that's a damned good idea, because I've always thought, "So what? what can we (people) do about it.?" Just like the earth turning on its axis (I almost wrote 'axel'), we can't do anything about it, can we?
