Dilly and Dally Puddle Ducks Standing with Umbrellas Garden Ornament

Product Information

The song’s oft-repeated refrain is “Dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly, come to be killed, / For you must be stuffed and my customers filled!” 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.”) 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. 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.

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.

Reviews

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. 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.

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. All-in-all, it was a great trip! Definitely glad I was able to tag along on Anna & Mark’s adventure. One day I’ll make the trek all the way down along the Hwy-1 California coastline.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. 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. It’s not that I’m against diets, per se, but I have a fundamental weakness that directly deters my goal of losing weight:

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. 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! 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.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. 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. 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.’” 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. 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.
