B. O. B. ODDITIES – FLAPJACK FOLLIES

Yes, I made pancakes again last weekend … with the usual strange and unusual results.DSC06520

The EAT OR BE EATEN … the pancake that comes out looking like some form of alien being that would rather eat you than being eaten.

DSC06536The SLIPPERY STACK … short stubby stack that becomes a slippery balancing act made even more difficult with the addition of maple surple.

DSC06517The SCRAPE-OUT … thepancake made with the last batter left in the bowl that has to be scraped out with a spatula where it sticks and has to be scraped off with a spoon and when it falls it never falls on top of the batter already in the griddle. By the way, that dark spot that looks like a raisin is really a CRAISIN because I wanted to see what a cranberry pancake would taste like. Surprisingly, it tasted just like a raisin pancake.

BOB’S OBSERVATION: No matter what a pancake looks like, it never goes uneaten!

DAILY CALENDAR CHALLENGE #106 – APRIL 16

#1 THE ORIGAMI CALENDAR CHALLENGE – THE CARRIER BIRDDSC06538Looks fairly simple, doesn’t it?DSC06539

I got it folded, but it was the most difficult thing I’ve worked on yet.  Why …….?DSC06546

Look at those Mickey Mouse sized stubby fingers next to the finished piece!

#2 THE MENSA PUZZLE CALENDAR – INSERT AND ADDDSC06550

This one’s not easy, but it can be solved. One should be visible right away.

ANSWER

DSC06556  OK, I could not figure out #1.

It was firetrap.

#3 THE PAGE-A-DAY PUZZLE CALENDAR – ALPHAMETICS

DSC06549

OK, C equals 9 and E equals 8 — you only have to figure out eight more letter values! But with head feeling twice its normal size due to my spring allergies, my brain refuses to work with numbers. I’ll come back later today when the wheezing and sneezing lets up a bit.

OK, I was not able to concentrate enough to figure this one out today.
