Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 12, 2021

So THAT’s where they all went! The Froglandia Fireman’s Picnic and Ice Cream Social was a bit short on them this year. Had to substitute malted milk balls.

Gasp! No wonder the shelf was empty! I needed some to put in my Heavenly Who Hash! So I used grapes instead!

What?

Cocktail cherries but not a virgin one…

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

By the look of her, that’s not the only cherry she’s hoarding…

She needs help and should adopt a new mantra such as

“I Wish I Was an Oscar Mayer Weiner” …!

When red dye for food was forbidden, the TV news anchors Huntley and Brinkley said that this would be a terrible blow to the “five million dollar a year maraschino cherry industry.” Then, they started laughing and couldn’t stop. I think the whole country was laughing with them (except for those poor folks who really did dye and sell maraschino cherries). Would’ve been interesting if Fox and CNN had existed then.

Grenadine is her name

Hoarding cherries is her game

Ask her again, and she’ll call you lame.

A hanging offense.

Madonna can help with Cherry,

Hit song, Like A Virgin..I don’t fall far from the cherry tree.

Ellie May Clampett…clam pett. clam pett.

Are you one of the Banana Splits?

Fannie Franny’s aged all-natural Marachino Cherry cordials and liqueurs (ABV 35%) are now available for your holiday entertaining needs!

Look for the Dactylopius coccus on the label!

What a coincidence! So am I, lady fair! I like to add a maraschino cherry to almost any drink, especially liquor, whether the recipe calls for it or not. I always have at least a spare bottle on hand….

could be worse

Bees got into some of the syrup at a maraschino (not Maraschino, because no cherry liqueur) cherry factory in Brooklyn.

“The red honey tasted terrible, by the way,” Coté told me one afternoon at his market stall. “It was sickly sweet, kind of metallic-tasting, and watery… And all that red honey ended up being thrown out, and those beekeepers lost a season of production.”

Scribbler!

Please, Oh pretty please, w/5 cherries on top, and may you hit the 5 cherry slot for the jackpot.

Went to Pops for a can of mixed fruit, low and behold a split cherry or two and then a cherry bomb or three to light on Thanksgiving cherry pi to the sky.
