Of course she does, she carries the weight of civilization.
"The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. Studies have shown that an ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother."
For those who don't know, feline dental resorption lesions can be very painful although cats refuse to show their pain. They aren't preventable or curable and require the teeth to be removed. Toothless cats can still eat dry food, either by crunching it with bony plates in their mouth or just gobbling it whole.
My childhood was in Los Angeles in the early 1960s, so it's possible the cartoon's author had a similar background and Dwayne is a humorous twist on Deem.
Sounds like a good argument for moving to a new time zone while staying in the same job, working remotely. Or finding a new remote job in a different time zone in the opposite direction. Whichever doesn't land you in the middle of an ocean, unless I guess it would put you on a lovely island with good internet
You could make "Hush puppies" by just frying little spoonfuls of batter. Or coat something else like onion rings, maybe broccoli?
Also, from eyeballing the recipe I think you could use it (the recipe) to make cornbread by adding ¼ cup of melted butter (to a whole batch) and baking it in a greased pan.
Tbf, you could substitute a human baby and it would be the same. Babies are also cute little assholes. The main difference is that you can't safely let a wriggling baby drop to the floor.
What we call corn many places call maize. The cornmeal used for polenta should be a good substitute if that's easier for you to find.
As for measurements:
1 teaspoon= 5 ml.
3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon = 15 ml.
2 Tablespoons = 1 (liquid, ergo volume) ounce = 30 ml
2 ounces = ¼ cup = 60 ml
8 ounces = 1 cup = 240 ml
Now, with your scale, you can weigh out 240 ML water, and use that to determine which cup in your cupboard will be most useful. With dry ingredients, don't pack them down, just scoop it in, then scrape to level off the top with the back of a knife.
