True Colours Thursday - CREAM!

After the excesses of my Bear-day on Monday, CREAM, especially CREAM based drinks, I can bearly, bear to think about!!!

In fact, thinking @ all is still a little difficult!

I avoided the demon LEMON as in Gin & Tonic's after last time.

Instead, I tried Bailey's Irish CREAM Liqueur cocktails @ my pawty!

NOT, a wise move, in hindsight!

First, was this simple one over ice - Mother's Christmas favourite...

But then, I got more adventurous ...

It was called an 'Ultimate Mudslide'
30 ml vodka

30 ml coffee liqueur

30 ml Irish CREAM liqueur

45 ml CREAM

45 ml milk

1/2 banana

grated chocolate

Place all ingredients, except grated chocolate, in a blender & blend until smooth.

Pour into margarita glass and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

Woweeeeeeeeeee - was that good!

After that, maybe I should have retired from imbibing and left the single CREAM shotters well alone...Google's images do NOT do justice to any of the drinks, all enjoyable @ the time, but seriously potent!!!

As a consequence my only CREAM bear offering today, is from Mother, who took pity on me! She found this handsome one recently, resting comfortably in a Store...Maybe, I should buy him for her for Christmas!
Hugs,

Pooh on Swine Flu!

Now, as much as I loathe the use of the F-word, it is so very unnecessary and in my humble opinion merely shows a lack of vocabulary - we, as in the 'royal we', had to bear laugh, when Mother showed me this Winnie the Pooh cartoon she found over at friend Wilma's...Hugs,

New Bear Discovered!

Reading the morning newspapers, as I seriously do, came across this fascinating story and simply had to share it:-

"POLAR WORRY!

Scientists & Wildlife Experts scratch their heads after recent bear capture...

This purple "ursus maritimus" baffles all."

I was concerned!

Could it be another worrying side effect of Global Warming?

But, after much thought...

HAPPY APRILS FOOLS DAY!

Did I get you all, with this story???

It is sort of true.

In July 2003, a zoo in Mendoza, Argentina, treated its 23-year-old Polar bear, Pelusa suffering from Dermatitis, with an antiseptic spray.

The alarming side effect was, it turned her fur purple, making her a world wide bear-celebrity, much loved by children.

Hugs,

Pants & Pawty Time!

Woke this morning, to find I had received an invitation!
No less than, from, young Bob T Bear, Esq; to attend a very special Blog celebration of his...

Amongst other treats, he has promised home-made cakes...

I was naturally, very excited!

So, enquired off Mother, if I would need any special Pawty attire.

Regretted, asking almost immediately.

She said - yes , wait for it, I would require pants!

And, I would have to wear them on my head!!!

Apparently, Bob, has a thing about frolicking with them.

There is even to be Pant Pen @ the Pawty...I was, more than a little taken back!

The things, these youngsters, get up to now-a-days!!!

But, never let it be said, that I am a stick in the mud.

Though, wearing a pair of Mother's Peach coloured britches, turban style, does feel a little strange to say the least...

I would have preferred Blue.

But, she is behind with doing the laundry!

And, I did stipulate clean pants.
Any way, as a good guest, I am thoughtfully, taking along my favourite biscuits, Jaffa Cakes - they have yummy Orange centres.

Also, another Hug member is attending Bob's pawty with me...

It seems Miss Polly Pola, is a old friend of Bobs.

He actually named her, saying she obviously, had Polar Bear genes!

Now, another Pawty requirement, apart from pants, it seems, is Jokes!

So, here we go...

Mother, also invited, is offering:-

Q: Have you ever hunted bear?

A: No, but I've been shooting in my shorts!
Q: How do you start a teddy bear race?

A: Ready, teddy, go!
Q: What do you get if you cross a grizzly bear and a harp?

A: A bear faced lyre!
Mmm!

Miss Polly came up with these:-

Q: What kind of money do polo bears use?

A: Ice lolly

Q: What do you call a big white bear with a hole in his middle?

A: A polo bear!

Q: Why is a polar bear cheap to have as a pet?

A: It lives on ice!

Q: What do polo bears have for lunch?

A: Ice burgers!

Yes, a good effort.

And, finally my own small selection:-

Q: What do you get if you cross a teddy bear with a pig?

A: A teddy boar!

Q: What's a teddy bears favorite pasta?

A: Tagliateddy!

Particularly, liked this one!

Q: What should you call a bald teddy?

A: Fred bear!
Q: What do you get if you cross a skunk with a bear?

A: Winnie the Pooh!
Q: What is a bear's favorite drink?

A: Koka-Koala!

Hee-hee!!!

As the Pawty, is to be a weekend long affair, only hope my stamina holds!
Trust I will see you all there.
Hugs,
