Mama Kat Thursday: Funny Auto Correct

-
The Mama Kat Thursday topic for today is: "Share a recent text exchange that made you laugh."

I think I'd freak out if someone told me I had to start texting.
That would mean having to start carrying a phone with me everywhere. I would hate that.
Personally, I don't text. I have a phone so dumb, it flips open like a Star Trek communicator (which in itself is geek-cool).
Every key has 3 letters one would have to tap through to write anything, even if I wanted to. Which I don't.

That said, I did see funny sequence of texting in the recent movie, "Mom's Night Out."
The film is about a woman named Heather, who is desperate for some grown-up time away from her kids and her house and invites her two friends, Izzy and Sondra, for a dress-up night on the town at a fancy restaurant, while Heather and Izzy's husbands baby sit the kids.
Unfortuantely, the ladies arrive at the restaurant only to find out there's been a misunderstanding in the reservation date so they're there on the wrong night. No fancy food.
So, they end up at the bowling alley down the street and funny chaos ensues.

The funny texting sequence occurs during the opening sequence of the movie as Heather describes her friend, Sondra, who is the pastor's wife played by Patricia Heaton,
"as being unable to manage her auto-correct."
So Sondra's standing in the church doorway, frantically punching at her phone, appalled with each auto-correct she sees, which also appear as subtitles on the screen for the audience to laugh at.
The best one was "chicken poodle poop."
It has hilarious.

What's your best auto-correct blooper? (that's decent to share)

I admire the fact that you still have a Star Trek flip phone...sometimes I wish mine wouldn't have kicked the bucket because it means I was thrown into the world to texting! Ugh!

Yeah, I've never liked auto correct either. It never comes close to what I wanted to say.

Mom's Night Out sounds like a fun movie.

I've got the autocorrect turned off on my phone because I just couldn't stand it. I know how to spell; don't put words in my mouth! I have to admit that I love my smart phone and could probably never go back. I'm visiting from Mama Kat's too :)

When my friend texts me the word "I" in any of her texts, her auto correct changes it to "Big". So, it looks like she speaks of herself in the third person and thinks she is either a rapper or a mobster.

That movie sounds hilarious! Luckily I've caught most of my auto correct blunders...I don't think I could function on a star trek flip phone anymore. Too much entertainment to be had on these smart phones!

Before we came to South Korea, I was using a flip phone. Now, I only have the landline. What!?

Good Eating Monday: Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing!

Now this some wicked good dressing!  I tried it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it! I've been looking for just the right dressing and I may have finally found it!  It's also healthy with a tasty combo of fruit, veggies and a mix of white & whole wheat bakery breads. It will fill a  fill a 9 x 13 pan.  You can use fresh or dried herbs. I've included the measurements for both. Just remember dried seasoning is more concentrated in flavor because it is dried, so you need less of it then fresh herbs. I have fresh Parsley growing outside and this was a great use for it! I found leftover over stuffing wonderful heated up and topped with a over-easy egg for lunch!  Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing Ingredients:  5 1/2 cups fresh European style or sourdough bread, white, sliced and cubed 2 1/2 cups wheat bread, whole grain sliced and cubed 1 lb ground pork or turkey ( I used Jimmy Dean's Turkey Crumbles, which was 8 oz and that worked great! ) 1 1/2

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

-

Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling.  This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.)   It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity.  And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v

Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's.  I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter. For Garden Pic Wednesday this week I have an excellent photo of a pine tree flower! You didn't know pine trees flower?  Well, you'll have to stop back for a look! Today's Good Eating Recipe is a family favorite my Mother used to make often for us as kids: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding! What Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Looks Like This is just your basic wholesome old fashioned bread pudding made with just eggs, bread, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar & raisins! No sauces to make. Just simple bread pudding. We'd eat it hot with a little evaporated milk poured over the top.

Garden Pic Wednesday: Ajuga & Lettuce Crop

T oday's Garden Pic is a nice January shot of some Common Ajuga draping over the edge of a large container out front & my bumper crop of lettuce Ajuga: It's a ground cover with a burgundy tinge to it's leaves. It reaches it's best color in shade, but can tolerate light sun. This Ajuga just gets morning sun. It throws runners like a strawberry does, spreading along the ground. It's reaching for the ground and will establish once it touches around the shady side of the stump the container sits on. It's a member of the mint family.  My Winter Crop of Lettuce: This is a french head lettuce I got ordered from Seed Savers for spring 2021. It went to seed in May 2021, then dozens popped up around Sept. I separated them, this whole 4 x 8 raised bed with them. I dined on fresh crisp lettuce all winter! I've left 2 to go to seed on one end of the raised bed, so can have lettuce all winter again!  I've joined a group a ladies in a Book Club that meets once a mo
