FFO And Smile BIG (rain)

Today I join Nicole´s FFO and Gillena with this Baby. That had arms too short and after I changes that...


Same options in my old "Photostudio" - can someone explain?

Anyways for Annie´s Smiles.... a big awwwwww...
 

Now for some funnies- it is Friday!




... he´s an optometrist.






And last, not least...


The  series:

"33 retro dishes that are rarely served today
 

 Chicken fricassee
 
Today, you'd expect to find this dish in your own kitchen rather than in a fancy restaurant. But the creamy combination of peas, carrots, mushrooms, and peppers, served with rice or on bread, was indeed a hit at wedding brunches and in fine dining in the 1950s and 1960s. However, its triumphant progress came to a halt in the 1980s—perhaps not least because a fricassee doesn't offer much visual appeal."

On week-school-trips this was served at least once.
I still love it - despite!

To a great weekend soon.

Love Misha Collins and I REALLY love the daddy teaching his daughter to splash. I remember doing the same with my kids. I wonder what those yellow things are on the plate with the chicken fricasee.

You have me laughing here!!! I didn´t even see it - that must be an extra of cooked potatoes in that fricassee!!! Bummer! And also it comes with chicken, too,that I see but in the title!
Our butcher (who sadly moved far away) offered this fricassee in tins, yum.
I´m more the Dean-one,but I love them ALL, of course! And summer rain!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you - I just wonder...

magiceye said...

The funnies were great! Thank you!

Iris Flavia said...

You´re welcome!

Lisca said...

Yes, I still make chicken fricassee at home occasionally. (with rice).
I love the daddy teaching his daughter to splash in the rain. He probably lives in a country where it doesn't rain that often otherwise a child that age woud know already.
I saw the big bum, not the chair. Whst does that say about me...
I also know of a cat who doesn't 'get' the catflap.
Love the one about knowledge and tomatoes.
Have a lovely weekend,
Lisca

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I thought I needed to share the father-daughter-duo.
The potatoes I saw only when River asked what the yellow things are. We make it with rice, only, too.
Thank you, have a lovely weekend, too.

Gene Black said...

That rug would make me crazy.
As for "seeing the chair" -at first I thought it was one of the Kardashians.

CJ Kennedy said...

Thank you, Iris. You made my day.

My name is Erika. said...

That rug would give me heart failure I think! And the chair as well as the man with the baby carriage, those are great illusions. Thanks for sharing them. Have a super rest of your FRiday and weekend ahead Iris. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

Yes to both!!!

Iris Flavia said...

You´re very welcome, CJ!

Jeanie said...

Nope. That would be a dealbreaker! I liked your baby!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, cool, huh!A great Friday and weekend for you, too it suddenly warmed up a bit!!! Hugs

Debra She Who Seeks said...

Love your classic kewpie doll! And I laughed at the video and all your memes! Thanks for the great post!

RedPat said...

That rug is amazing, Iris. it would freak out so many people and pets.

Tom said...

...I'd give anything for a rainy day right about now.

DVArtist said...

First, I love your art! Second, I did have to readjust my eyes on the chair meme. Then I started laughing. Also, cucumbers with anxiety so true. LOL Actually, I'm making this dish for dinner tonight. Thank you for joining in with FFO and have a very nice weekend.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Iris, your art is wonderful! And the video is an absolute delight, so refreshing to see people enjoying the rain and splashing in the puddles instead of complaining. What a great post, thank you so much for the beauty and the smiles and laughs. :)

Iris Flavia said...

But why did the color fade?

Iris Flavia said...

You´re very welcome!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, RedPat, reckon it might be fun, a bit!

Iris Flavia said...

To jumping in puddles!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I first saw a big butt, too! Or, as Gene nailed it, "one of the Kardashians"!
To a nice weekend!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Linda, as rain-lover, or pluviophile, I had to share those two enjoying the summer rain! To laughing and smiling and enjoying life!

Das Video erinnert mich an die Zeit, als meine Tochter noch klein war und wir im Regen rausgingen, um in Pfützen zu springen (mit Gummistiefeln). Anschließend gab es immer heißen Kakao. Schöne Erinnerungen...

Iris Flavia said...

Leider war das in meiner Familie nicht der Fall, aber wenn es im Sommer regnet, genieße ich das und renne nicht wie alle anderen Leute.
Himmel, das ist bloss Wasser! Mein Smartphone sitzt eh ganz dumb zu Hause und meine Kamera ist wasserdicht ;-)

Bill said...

Great funnies! A rug could make a big difference to someone you don't like much. :)

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Iris, I'm here at last just been one of those days. Wish it would rain here, I've had two cold showers today as I just can't stand the heat. Your funnies are brilliant they've made me all hot again laughing Hee! Hee! Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela xXx

mamapez5 said...

You're right. The chicken isn't very appealing.
Loved the puddle splashing. Better than getting upset because it's raining.
Your baby is quite cute but I see what you mean about the colour loss.
Lovely smiling lion at the end. Hope you are smiling too. Kate x

Iris Flavia said...

Quite true! And you´re wide awake avoiding to fall....

Iris Flavia said...

Angela here rain is predicted! And sadly still Autumn-temps... LOL sorry you laughed yourself hot - please send some of those temps over and try to have a good weekend, no matter the weather hugs xXx

Iris Flavia said...

That is a series from the internet I only share and despite the meal probably does not look fancy (Ingo manages to look exclusive) - it really is very yummy!
So I not only think baby lost color... I dreamed I went out in rain tonight! To smiles x
