Master Pip of Pip's Ear

This is a quick and practical recipe for Linseed Mash.

Harvest two bushels of linseed (flax) at the peak of ripeness. (Note: You will need to harvest about one hundred bushels of plants to obtain the requisite amount of seed).

Separate seeds from chaff by hand. Dry seeds for at least one month in a cool, dry yurt.

In a large cauldron, cover two bushels of seeds with water and heat over an open fire. You must not use the bushels in this recipe, only the seeds. You may, however, use the bushels as an additional source of fuel. Simmer the mixture, adding water as needed, for at least forty-eight hours, stirring constantly.

Allow to cool and serve immediately in clay or porcelain bowls. Your reindeer will relish this delectable snack, but be certain to cook the linseed thoroughly, as, in a raw state, it is poisonous to horses and will probably kill reindeer as well.

Mohair fudgsicle?

Good to the last drop and you can wipe your chinny chin chin on it when you are done!

Linseed Mash

Does anyone know a good recipe for linseed mash?
And a quick one. I need to leave it out tonight for the reindeer.

Or else instant oatmeal might work. I'm in a bit of a pickle here. Lack of planning, I suppose.

Help!

Hmm.

"She" is apparently suggesting a shot and a beer for Santa. I don't know...

And shouldn't there be ice somewhere? I could at least enjoy the ice.

Sauteed chicken hands????

Try the Beet Thing

"He" recommends the beet puree thing with walnuts which we cannot eat (bad) but they can. Maybe. Can reindeer eat beets or walnuts? If I leave it out, I am going to eat all the crackers.

And that reminds me of how unfair the distribution of goods is around here. How come they have all the cool stuff and get to eat all the cool stuff? It just frosts me no end. I mean, how do they come up with this stuff? I know they control the means of production, yadda, yadda, yadda, but give me a break.

Master Pip

Gotta rush and get something ready for Santa's midnight snack!

I know its a tad early but I want to put out a really special spread.  Any ideas for what he might like - reindeer, too?  I heard he's a vegan. 

Lost Time

This is really weird. I MEAN REALLY WEIRD!!!

So I just settle down for a little nap and when I wake up I am in some kind of tree in some strange land where everything is really WEIRD and then I realize I am still at home but I am in the branches of this really WEIRD tree thing they put up every year and hang lights and ornaments on that "THEY" call a Christmas Tree but I call REALLY WEIRD and then I am back in bed but I have no recollection of what happened and I seem to have no memory of several hours and I am thinking I was abducted and someone or something performed some WEIRD psycho mind game experiment or something. WTF!!!!!!

And if you look closely there is a kind of shadow image of me over my right shoulder like some sort of doppelganger. I mean WTF, is that WEIRD or what???

I'm Back.

The lure of Spongebobby was too great. And they were cooking up edamame and well, I'M WEAK, what can I say? And it was cold out there too, and it is so nice and warm by the fire and in bed.

That's it and that's all, folks. Buh Bye!

Pip has LEFT the building! I know it LOOKS like I'm going for a stroll but I sabotaged the slave chain and I'll be OFF on my own in a matter of seconds!

Hmmmmm...I'm not seeing any improvement here!

Same ole, same ole post up day after day. And that photo of the orange sponge??? C'MON! It is SERIOUSLY FUGLY!!

Please DELETE it ASAP or I'm going to have to go and haunt some NEW blog!!

Illustrious Pip of Pip's Ear

I am 100% in agreement with your recent post about the direction your blog has taken. I am the Great Sponge, by the way, parent of all your sponge toys, and of all sponges great and small. I have taken great pleasure in reading of the exploits and adventures of my progeny on your blog.

Please Master Pip, more adventures. We are especially fond of adventures involving disturbances in the space-time continuum as well as those involving alien abductions.

We ourselves were abducted by aliens, but that tale must await another day.

Humbly yours,

The Great Sponge

Hey! What's going on around here, on this "blog?"

Something FISHY is happening! No one is paying ANY ATTENTION to "Pip's Ear" bloggerino anymore!

I hear, via the grapevine, that BOTH "him" and "her" have started their OWN BLOGS and don't have ANY time to help me on MY blog! HIs being about baseball and hers is about "life" (!!) WHO CARES?? People want to know about PIP and what is going on with PIP and what PIP's thoughts and dreams are!!

I ask you, bloggeroo, is that RIGHT? Write to me and tell me what I should do?

I don't want you to think things are....strange around here but

While its true, of course, that I'm the most BRILLIANT and CLEVER pup in the WHOLE WORLD, I haven't quite YET learned how to.....read.  See above for one of my birthday prezzies.

Hmmmmmm.......is this bizarro world or WHAT??
