Another Wednesday Grab Bag
Wednesdays Under the Tiki Hut are usually perfect for those of you who might be attention challenged. Bits and pieces of this, that, and the other for the most part. Or photos. No photos today :(
This.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day.
On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month...
It's also called Remembrance Day and Armistice Day.
You can read the history of Veterans Day here.
As a military spouse, I thank you for remembering those who served.
That.
The Cherpumple.
If you haven't yet heard of this Thanksgiving combo dessert, go here - it's short.
You gotta see it to believe it.
Has anyone eaten one?
Made one?
The Other.
Did you know . . .
A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.
An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.
Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.

Very entertaining post! Thanks.
No wonder cats are always twitching their ears around when they hear something. They have the muscles to manage it.
I never heard of Cherpumple, gotta check that out. And I had no idea Veteran's day was also on the eleventh hour. Interesting.
Thanks for the tidbits!
Chary - LOL...I can barely imagine it, much less ever think about trying to make the thing. Welcome to the Tiki Hut.
Linda - Ooh, I'm coming to check it out. Thanks :)
The armistice treaty ending the first world war was signed at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month.
Thank you for the Veterans Day reminder. I hope we all take some time to pause, reflect, and thank those who have served and are serving our country.
Love your post today.

Thoughts in Progress
That cake is unbelievable!I wonder how many calories are in a sliver.
I don't think I'll be playing with my cat's ears anymore.
Happy Hump Day!
Glynis - I love how cats can turn their ears backward.
Joanna - You're sweet :)
I've never heard of cherpumple. It sounds like a skin disease from the Renaissance.
I did, however, know about the tiger skin.
I love that tiger stripes are skin deep. Cool!
Teresa - I love that, too.

That cake is absolutely sinful. Sounds yummy but an awful lot of work.
Tigers are magnificent btw. x
Maryann - Let me know if you make it, OK :)
Talei - I just read your blog piece. It's magnificent...like a tiger.
I think I just gained 5 pounds just looking at it!
Think I will pass on that one!
But you made me laugh, Carol, and on my deadline, I needed a laugh.
Love this blog!

Stephen - That would be nice. A lot of military live in and around San Antonio, and many retailers offer a discount every day. It helps.
Patti - Live. Laugh. Love. One out of three ain't bad :)
I love the other. I didn't know their skin was striped as well. That's awesome!! Thanks for the info. =D
I think even reading about that dessert made my teeth ache. Yikes!
I want to be a tiger, too. :)
I do send appreciation though, to your hubby and those like him who've served. I have often disagreed with the management, but the men and women who serve are heroes.
Kimberly - I'm laughing...made my teeth ache, too.
Hart - I know what you mean.
Grrrrrowl!

Tossing It Out
Holly - That's what I'm guessing.
Talli - I agree. It's something I'd take a pass on. Besides, there's no chocolate!
