Yup, the wheels are turning & gears are cranking while I try to figure out how to mimic these flavors at home! Also unrelated are some uses of “dilly” in nursery rhymes. We’ve found examples dating from 1606 of chants like “fa-la-la lantido dilly,” “trangidowne dilly,” “lankey down dilly,” “daffy-down dilly” (an expansion of “daffodil”), and others. His remarks were reported on June 17, 1813, in at least two British newspapers, the London Star and the London Chronicle, though the wording differed. A report also appeared in July 1813 in a British periodical, the Satirist: or, Monthly Meteor: Even as we got out of the car, Anna said, “Hmm… doesn’t seem like a very… unique… beach.” We had just found street parking next to the entrance to a parking lot limited to Beach Camping Only. When we wandered down, there weren’t many people around except for a few surfers trying to catch some waves.

On top of the delicious sandwich, Anna made it a combo which just added to the flavor explosion. The combo paired the sandwich with KoJA’s signature Kamikaze Fries. The waffle fries were crispy enough to hold their shape under the weight of all the Korean BBQ Beef, kimchi, green onions & spicy red sauce toppings! Anna really liked the “Bacon Maple Bar doughnut”. It was covered in maple frosting & topped with two slices of bacon. She let me have a taste and it reminded me of when your breakfast bacon gets splattered with remnants of your waffle’s maple syrup. Delicious! Once you feel like there couldn’t possibly any additional room for more, it’s off to Second Dinner with Anna’s Mom’s Filipino side of the family. Yes, once again there will be the traditional American turkey with gravy. However, this dinner requires saving room on your plate for pancit bihon, beef kaldereta & lumpia. Another similar sounding term, “dilly dally,” is also unrelated, as far as we know. It was recorded in noun form in the 1500s and as a verb in the 1700s. But the OED says it’s probably a repeating variant (“a reduplication with vowel variation”) of the verb “dally” (circa 1300), along the lines of “shilly shally,”“zig-zag,” and other such phrases. A nursery-rhyme version of the song was first published in 1797 in Samuel Arnold’s Juvenile Amusements, according to the Opies, and subsequently appeared in several 19th-century collections of children’s poetry (the wording often varied).

What I’m trying to say is that “Food is my Kryptonite”. So I’ll love my body just the way it is, keep hiding in Anna’s luggage to get around, and then be able to share details of my most delicious & most outrageous meals here with you. Our prior Voodoo Doughnut experience involved beer instead. Rogue Ales produces three different Voodoo Doughnut beers and we had tried the “Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Ale” in the past. We had so much to eat that all of us ended up passing outwhile watching the Seahawks massacre the 49ers in football. Overall, a great Thanksgiving! I do miss Anna’s Mom’s Filipino dishes, though. So, I’ll just have to load up for the upcoming Christmas holidays.

For example, a member of Parliament, Robert Thornton, used the catch-phrase in the House of Commons on June 16, 1813, in arguing against an invitation to the East India Company to open its ports to wider trade. He likened the resolution to “the line in Mrs. Bond’s song—’Dilly Dilly Wagtail, come to be killed.’” Perhaps the most familiar of these is an anonymous 17th-century English song that begins, “Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly, lavender’s green, / When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen.” (Early versions used “diddle” instead of “dilly.”) It’s not that I’m against diets, per se, but I have a fundamental weakness that directly deters my goal of losing weight: Finally, we were in! A giant doughnut piece of artwork hung from the ceiling along with some fancy chandeliers. I was in for a treat as I looked onward towards the doughnuts as they turned in a rotating display. Some of these doughnuts were bigger than me!I’ve tried all the fad diets to lose some weight around my yellow belly and orange beak. “No carb” diets. “No sugar” diets. “No meat” diets. “No taste” diets. I can’t say I’ve jumped on the “No gluten” diet because most people partaking in that particular one can’t even tell me what a gluten is. Anyway, the one thing I can summarize about all the diets I have tried, though, is they all end up making me feel like I’m on the “I’m always hungry” diet.

Let’s just say that Voodoo doughnut could come across as fairly crude, if they weren’t too careful. Mr. R. Thornton, in one of the debates on the East India question, wittily observed, that the invitation to the Company to open their trade reminded him of the child’s song,—’Dilly, Dilly, come and be killed.’” But in the meantime, among adults the saying “dilly, dilly, come and be [or “to be”] killed” became a catch-phrase symbolizing a sweet enticement used to lure an unsuspecting victim. It was used this way in early 19th-century political journalism—first in Britain, then in the US and Australia.Thankfully it stayed relatively dry as we queued up in the line. Though the line took a while, we had quite an array of the characters wandering past us, which kept us entertained.

Usually, the day consists of eating breakfast in pajamas while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade at Anna’s parent’s house. Then, it’s First Dinner with Anna’s Dad’s Ukrainian & Polish side of the family. On that side, turkey & stuffing might be complimented with liver dumpling soup, sauerkraut pierogis, potato dumplings, etc. But don’t forget to fill in the remaining empty space in your belly with some coffee & kolatchkis. Bangus Sisig & Garlic Fried Rice:Anna discovered some Filipino bangus in the fridge. Bangus is the National Fish of the Philippines & is commonly referred to as milkfish due to it’s milky color when cooked. We didn’t have scallions, chicharon (pork rinds) or thai chilis that many recipes called for so we improvised our sisig recipe. Usually Filipino sisig is a method of preparing meat by first marinating in a sour & spicy liquid. Usually it is made with parts of a pig (head, liver, etc) but in Americanized restaurants they use more commonly used cuts of pork &, in this case, we used milkfish.The song was introduced in performances of Samuel Foote’s two-act farce The Mayor of Garret (1763), according to The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (2nd ed., 1997), by Iona and Peter Opie. The song doesn’t appear in the published text of the play, but the Opies say it was immediately printed by rival London music publishers. What’s more, other meanings of “dilly” aren’t related. The adjective “dilly” has been used to mean stupid or foolish, but only since the 1870s and mostly in Australia. In American slang “dilly” has meant delightful or delicious since the early 1900s—a use that inspired the noun use (“it’s a dilly”). The source there is the first syllable of “delightful” and “delicious,” the OED says. The song’s oft-repeated refrain is “Dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, come to be killed, / For you must be stuffed and my customers filled!” Anna’s company offers flexible work schedules so she has some Fridays Off every now & again. Today she stayed home on this rainy day & we fixed up a feast in our kitchen. Anna & Mark make a routine trek to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the winter for snowboarding. I have yet to find a snowboard (or ski) manufacturer that makes winter sport equipment in my size, so I opt for curling up with hot toddy’s near a roaring fireplace.
