About this deal

What I’ve learned about Anna is that she seldom steps into the kitchen knowing exactly WHAT she wants to make & never really knows exactly HOW she’s supposed to make it. She usually starts by raiding the fridge & pantry to see what supplies are available. Then, she mentally tosses around some ideas of foods she’s seen & tasted before using this newfangled technology of “Google Searches” to look up a variety of recipes that she melds together depending on what ingredients she has available.

The song’s oft-repeated refrain is “Dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, come to be killed, / For you must be stuffed and my customers filled!” In the end we opted for a our choice of a dozen doughnuts, including the “Dirty snowballs doughnut”, the “Triple chocolate pentration doughnut” and the “Voodoo Doll doughnut” filled with rasberry jelly & stabbed with a pretzel stake.

On their most recent trip to Lake Tahoe, their travel destination was the SnowGlobe Music Festival with the slopes as a bit of a side thought. So, I tagged along for our first time at this particular music festival. I love snow & I love music, so it just made sense to put them together. Unfortunately, I forgot just how long of a drive it was to get to Tahoe. But, I perched on the dashboard for a first-row view as the snow-capped Sierras came around the bend. 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.”) 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). It’s not that I’m against diets, per se, but I have a fundamental weakness that directly deters my goal of losing weight:

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. 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.

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.’” 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.

Overall, SnowGlobe was a great music festival, but I’m not sure we’d do it again. Being its fourth year, you’d think more of the kinks were lined out. Unfortunately, the entrance line was at a standstill on two of the three days. Also, you’d think there would be a more organized with their shuttle lines instead of mass mobs standing in the streets praying that a shuttle bus would stop. Lastly, due to high winds, one of the After Parties on the Tahoe Dixie boat was relocated at the last minute due to 10-foot lake waves. 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. 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! 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.Mark’s prior experience also included saving a stranger’s box of doughnuts on an airplane flight. The story goes that as he was deplaning the aircraft, a fellow passenger pulled out their bag from the overhead bin & dislodged the magical pink doughnut box from its prior resting place. Using his ninja-esque reflexes, Mark reached out & saved the box from crashing to its doom just 6 inches from the airplane’s floor. The airplane burst into cheers at his bravery. However, even with his heroic tactics, he was not rewarded with his first taste of these delectable treasures. 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! Let’s just say that Voodoo doughnut could come across as fairly crude, if they weren’t too careful.

The writer was H. Carrington Bolton, whose paper “The Language Used in Talking to Domestic Animals” appeared in the March and April 1897 issues of the American Anthropologist. 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. 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. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. 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.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. 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.
