I have posted photos before of my cats wearing hats; but here is a photo of a dog wearing a cat hat.

What is Tattoo Tuesday about?

Ever get a song stuck in your head? It’s like this.
(Thanks, C.)
The theme today is music. I thought these tattoos were quirky and cute.
This one tickles.

What am I knitting?
April 10, 2013
Thanks for HMS Defiant for this reference about Romano-Egyptian socks. He watches me knitting and sent this delightful story along.
I am a sock knitter and one of the nice things about knitting your own is that you can tailor them to the recipient – color, length in all dimensions, weight.
However, I have never had to adjust my knitting to accommodate the apparently stork-footed (see there are storks again) individual for whom these socks were made.
Another note is that the story talks about single-needle knitting. I always thought that was crochet – ?
What is tattoo Tuesday about this week?
April 9, 2013This week is a photo essay on stork tattoos. I decided to stay away from the baby-storky tattoos and go for those that are more realistic ones. Some of these may actually be cranes – but, close enough.
And for something different, yet related:
More on storks from the San Diego Zoo.

April 2, 2013In honor of Charlemagne’s birthday, here is a series of fleur de lis tattoos.
The fleur de lis is a stylized lily. It figures prominently in heraldry, particularly in European royal coats of arms, such as on this flag of the Kingdom of France.

March 26, 2013Today is March 26 and it is still snowing in Cleveland. This weather is not out of the ordinary, and I am not one to rush the hot weather. If I ruled the universe, I would make spring and fall the longest seasons with a few weeks of snow over the winter holidays and warm sunny weather whenever I want to go to the beach. Perfectly logical, if you ask me.
Today’s tattoos are an homage to snow.
At least our magnolias are still in their buds, not like this Washington, D.C. tree

March 19, 2013Today is a blend of tattoos and food.
Here is a yummy looking BACO – a taco with a bacon shell – that is being featured at the ball park of the minor league Western Michigan Whitecaps baseball team. Here’s the story.
And here are some tattoos on folks who have immortalized their gustatory passion in ink:
Last, here is my easy and delicious recipe for Taco Torte
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
1 large onion chopped
Taco seasoning – an envelope or your own blend
1 large can of diced tomatoes
corn or wheat tortillas
lots of shredded cheese
Sautee the meat and onion in a large skillet until the meat is cooked and the onion is translucent. Add the taco seasoning.
Add the can of tomatoes and juice and mix well.
When everything is incorporated and hot it is time to layer the torte in a baking pan. You will need one with high sides to retain the juices.
Start with a tortilla in the bottom of the baking pan
add a layer of the meat mixture
sprinkle with some shredded cheese
Repeat
Finish with a pretty thick layer of cheese.
You can stop here are refrigerate the torte until you are ready to bake it or go right ahead and pop it into a 350 degree oven.
The warm torte will take about half an hour – or until the cheese on top is the desired melty, crispy brownness that you prefer.
If chilled, allow more time – about an hour – until warmed through and melty, brown on top.
Cut in wedges like a pie.
Garnish with sour cream, salsa, anything else you like.
Serve with a green salad.
