Week ending May (Friday the) 13th I have a perfect score this week: 0/5 I will bring this adorable circle of Highland Coo cupcakes. I think it will be more than enough for everyone because t

I remember in the mid-1960s, visiting my paternal grandmother. She asked my dad if he thought that she would ever see a man on the moon. Dad said, of course, you will. It will happen before the end of

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure the rules specify that the table for zero is authorized to confiscate any round food items.

Just be careful...

Two people rescued after being trapped in a vat of chocolate at an M&M’s factory

This happened in the town where I went to college. On a good day, the air smells like baking brownies. (On a bad day it smells like cows...)

If only you could know when it's a good day before you go out. 😄 Cows aren't that bad, once you've smelled pigs.

2/5. I think I doubled my score from last week. LOL.

The Smother's Brothers! Thanks @Prevailing Wind for reminding me of my childhood/early adulthood favorites. When I was 18 I got to see them in concert with Olivia Newton John (who was new then - she was flawless). I'm going to have to see if I still have my parent's album. If not - YouTube here I come.

The worst was a cow day in the spring right after they redid the mulch beds around all the buildings.....😳

One of my friends grew up on a pig farm. Maybe she didn't mind the cows as much as the rest of us...

2/5 with no *.  My mind was a jumble early in the week.  For Monday, it was "you know, the two dudes not Romulus & Remus and for Tuesday, I was so far down the rabbit hole trying to parse the clue that I never even came close. 

Boston Tea Party and The Little Prince were nearly Instagets but on Friday, I waffled too long between Chile and Peru & didn't listen to my inner Paddington.  As I think I have said before, I do need to brush up on South American geography. 

I made a hot dog & baked bean casserole yesterday to help see me through the week which I am glad to share - only B & M baked beans are used in the Grundoon household so there is at least a Boston theme to it.

4/5 w/*

I missed Monday but 9/10 I’m not going to answer any mythology question correctly. I couldn’t think of any other 14th century poem than “Divine Comedy” and thankfully the only part I can ever remember was the correct response. The rest of the week was relatively easy, although Peru was a quasi-guess that I was pretty sure was correct, thanks to ‘Serra’ in the clue which made me think of the Andes & then Peru.

WEEK 40 • June 13, 2022 — ONE asterisk *  
195. TV Legends. Buster Keaton considered her the tops in her field &, in fact, was one of her early mentors.
196. 1972. In June he said, “Don’t lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is… a comedy of errors.”
197. Brands. Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Evan Strong & Roy Campanella broke barriers representing this brand.
* 198. Debut Novels. Published in 1991, this novel, the first in a series, has been described as “historical fiction with a Moebius twist.”  *
199. 19th Century Contemporaries. Congratulating her on the 1869 release of her biography, Frederick Douglass wrote, “I have wrought in the day –you in the night.”

3/5 no *
My mind went to athletic brands for Wednesday & all I could come up with was Adidas. For Thursday I guessed Game of Thrones which got me an exasperated sigh from Dr Toothbrush because how did I know the the first GOT book came out in the mid-‘90s??? 🙄I knew Moebius was the clue within the clue, but since I suck at mythology that was no help. Not sure even if I knew I would have gotten it, since evidently I am one of the last people on Earth who has not seen Outlander.

4/5 with the * (which was a wild guess for me since I am with @Toothbrush in not having seen/read Outlander).  I could not get my mind to focus on enough sporting brands quickly enough to even come up with a guess for Wednesday. 

I can bring a cole slaw/ramen noodle salad to go with the rest of the meal (it is a hot weather go to for Grundoons).

Week forty: four of five, with the asterisk! I had no clue on the brand that all of those athletes represented.

Tomorrow is West Virginia's 160th birthday! So I guess I'll have to make a birthday cake, to go with @Clanstarling's ice cream! My preference -- chocolate cake with peanut butter/buttercream icing.

I've never had peanut butter butter cream icing - sounds tasty. Our go to at home is dark chocolate with chocolate fudge icing (with raspberry jam in the middle).

4/5, no*

I really think my score should be 4 1/2 as I said  "Highlander" instead of "Outlander". Surely getting "lander" is worth half a point.

Nope. There can be only one. 😉

My college cafeteria did a lot of non-chocolate desserts during Lent (since that's a popular thing to give up, I guess). One of my friends gave up chocolate and her favorite was the cake with peanut butter frosting. She was forever on a quest to find an equivalent frosting that she could buy but I don't think she ever found it.
