Kitchenfrogs

Some frogs head into the kitchen.

They find a recipe book.

An old fashioned one. One that has been around since 1904.

Do the maths - that's a long time ago.

There's some help for beginner frogs.

But they skim that bit and head straight to the recipe that makes their froggy mouths water.

Marshmallow!

Stand by for the results.

You and whose army?

Grand Commander the Emperor Napoleon Frog inspects his troops prior to launching an attack on the enemy.

Although some platoons make an effort ...

... overall the battallion looks a little sloppy. 

 They seem reluctant to follow orders and line up straight.

Perhaps they are a little shellfish?

(works best if read with a lisp)

Value for Frog

Five Solomon Islands dollars.

We're getting into the big money now.

And what's even better is that $2.50 Sols dollars equals 1 frog. Exactly.

I love a nicely proportioned rectangular currency.

How many frogs for a nickel?

I reckon George Washington's cravat is probably about 5 cents worth...

..of Frog.

And trust me, it's easier to makes them out of the notes than the coins.  Bending the metal is tricky - and the shape is a nightmare to try and fold.

Two for the price of one

One frog.

 Two frogs.

If you can get two greenback frogs from one dollar, you'd probably think you had your money's worth.

 

But it turns out you get George Washington in your change as well.

Show me the money

The greenback.

Often considered the international currency.

And at the moment, it's on the rise.

Could it be becuase you can do this with it? 

New frog, where art thou?

Some readers will remember the new frog in town.

Who has been on a visit.

To a mutual friend.

In Sydney.

In his absence from Canberra a new "new" thing has turned up.

 Meet new ocotpus in town.

She's not just pink.

She glows!
