Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 12, 2024

For some reason Marilyn never married and now shares the house with five cats

in hope that this wasn’t reserved for the goldfish…

Herbert has been wondering why her cakes don’t taste the same as they used to.

Marilyn adds a certain Je ne c’est quois to her cuisine.

She wasn’t the all-time Ballard Street Twister champion for nothing.

I still have my mother’s Sunbeam mixer with all the attachments. I’ve changed the brushes twice and it just keeps going. I think it pre-dates me.

Hey, Marilyn, what say we go out to eat?

A little extra toe jam never hurt.

I don’t even want to ask what she does when she loses the rolling pin.

Marilyn makes blu cheese.

Marilyn is just a tad confused about sole food.

Sad news: DennisinSeattle passed away on April 27th…

I feel Marilyn’s distress. Made muffins yesterday and my KitchenAid stalled. Thought the gearhead was toast. Ended up that the batter was very heavy and some of it jammed the joint connection the blade and gearhead. My distress was when I saw the cost of replacing the mixer.

Marilyn must be cooking up some sauce for her chitterlings.

Remind me to not eat at her house.

Got to give her credit.. that is hard to do.

My electric hand mixer is on its last legs. I’ll use a whisk until I can replace it, not my foot!

Marilyn, the unacknowledged sibling of Ernest and Julio.

Culinary Science will never be the same…

Beware of a lunch or dinner invitation from Marilyn.

One Marilyn to another, “Get a wisk, you idiot!”

Marilyn is widely acclaimed for her dessert specialty, Hokey Pokey Chocolate Tapioca Tapdance Pudding Cake.

Hokey Pokey Biscuits.

It’s OK. She’s making Devil’s Foot Cake. :)

oh, dear. marilyn’s put her foot in it again…

May he rest in peace.
