Joe; We saw a glance on the tube where Defiance is either going to freeze or flow down stream. Sure hope this don’t affect you folks . The weather guesser was standing " knee deep " in water. Will you get your ice skates or life raft ready for use? Being from Xenia, this is the kind of weather to expect(minus) tornados. ~~ Stay warm & dry if possible. Respectfully, Cannonball
Since very few have been in here lately, there are only two kinds of fish on our Friday Fish Fry menu: Cod and Perch. We also have the regular sides of fries, hushpuppies, corn on the cob and cole slaw. Still plenty of brownies and chocolate cake for dessert.
Joe, how has all this wind and rain affected your area? Is there a lot of wind and water damage around?
Mookie, and anyone else leaving for the weekend: hope you have a safe, dry and warm weekend, and take care.
I think I’ll grab some perch and perch whilst eating my perch…hehe!
I might actually have time to get trackside this weekend. We’ll see how that goes.
Good afternoon everyone. I’ll take the cod, hushpuppies and cole slaw. [dinner]
By the way, this morning I had SERIOUS troubles with my Internet connection–I couldn’t browse many web sites or browsing was extremely slow. [:(!] Fortunately, things are much better now! [:)]
Can someone tell me what “hushpuppies” are?? I’ve heard that term before, but I am not sure what that is.
I baked a batch of molasses/ sugar cookies this morning and took the whole batch to work with me at Wendy’s. I got a lot of “Wow!, these are GOOD!!” I’ve been told that I am working in the wrong place and should be working for a bakery. [C=:-)]

Afternoon

I’ll have some of CW’s Cod and hushpuppies thanks!
Ray, hushpuppies are a corn meal and corn flour dough that is deep fried and they are great with butter.
Later,
Ryan
Perch, hushpuppies, etc.
Brownies for dessert. My tin boots are in the shop for an overhaul.
Ryan, thanks for giving Ray the definition of hushpuppies.
Joe, thanks for the update on your water situation. And tell Matt thanks for sharing!!
Getting more cod and perch on the warmer bar, along with more corn on the cob, fries and hushpuppies. I’ll even warm up the brownies, too!!
"Whilst wearing your “Hush Puppies” "?!?! [swg]
(naturally meaning the brand of shoe!)
…and this whole time I thought hushpuppies was what you said to the dogs when they wouldn’t “sheddap”. No offense, Walt…I’ve been a feline fan all my life! No offense Mookie![(-D]
Dan,
That’s why they calls em hush puppies! The cooks (mothers) would take little pieces of the fried batter that fell off of of fried fish and such and toss them out the back kitchen door to the barking dogs, and would say “hush up you little puppies”… thus… Hushpuppies…
I wish that I had a puppy that I could say “hush” to. All of my Colorado cousins have told me that I should get myself a dog, and I have been exploring such a possibility. I’ve been looking at the web site of our local humane society for small to medium sized dogs that have already been house broken. My only problem is that my next-door neighbor has a black lab that constantly barks and it just drives me up the wall. I know it’s not the dog’s fault. I figure that most of the time he is barking only because he wants some attention, but there have been times I’ve wanted to put him on a length of rope, take him on a walk to one of our parks on the bike trail and leave him there, tied to a tree. My sister, when I told her this, said that I have some anger issues that I should deal with first before I try getting myself a dog. And I know she’s right.
Ray
Ryan, that was the first explanation I heard growing up for that term “hushpuppies” ,
The “other” term didn’t come along until about high school while I was delivering some
weekly circulars and sale ads; and doing railfanning.
["My Dogs were Barking so loud, I had to get a pair of “Hush Puppies” "][:O]
Dan, I grew up with cats also, but have had dogs for a few years; and “hushpuppy”,
is what our cat says to our dog when she gets too loud!! [;)]
(not exactly in those term!!)[:O]
Ray, we have 2 girls and I love both of them terrifically. One is a Bijon mix and the other is a registered Maltese. The Bijon is a blockhead, tho. She has found a way out/under/over/thru the fence and is making use of it. We chased her for over an hour this morning before she finally gave up, and that was under duress… As a result, I have put a pad down and she is banned from going out for a while. Hopefully I can find that hole soon. The Maltese is really good and comes back quickly and hardly ever follows the other outside the fence. They are like children and must be loved. Try it, you’ll like it
Tom, if she’s like our dog, (Huskie/Shepherd mix) she uses her nose to dig out/under.
Ours stays in the house all the time, except for when she needs to go out, definitely
supervised.
Ray, you will enjoy having a companion like that, they really are about the same
as children. (always needing to be spoiled!!)
good morning
juice coffee and hot chocolate are ready to go.we also have the doughnuts we won on “the tune of mystery”.letting our dog back in we have snizzle right now outside.(snow,ice,rain,drizzle).we’ll see you guys tonight for pizza.
stay safe
joe
