Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-9-2021: Beyoncé

4th September, 2021.

Did I mention chicken stew, yesterday … ?

No I didn’t: it was the day before.

I’m getting heartily sick of the parsnips in it: so I’ll possibly need to change the recipe.

If you can think of a parsnip replacement, I’d be happy to hear about it!

At ANY rate … ?

I’ve run out of chicken: but DO have a bag of frozen mince.

And, as much as I’m ok at making spaghetti sauce — it’s only bolognese if it’s made by Italians! — I’m thinking a change is as good as a rest.

Now … 

If only I can remember my Chilli Con Carne recipe … !

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Trevor†, Mum‡ and Debbi^ putting in their answers: with everyone scoring five out of five.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video … 

Q1)        Singer, Beyoncé, was born on 4th September.   Of which year of the 1980s?

Q2)        She found fame as the main singer of which band: the Three Degrees, Destiny’s Child or All Saints?

Q3)        What was the name of her first solo album: I Am … Sasha Fierce, B’Day or Dangerously in Love?

Q4)        In which Austin Powers film did Beyoncé play Foxxy Cleopatra?

Q5)        Finally … ?   Beyonce’s married to which rapper: Ice T, Eminem or Jay-Z?

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers … 

Q1)        3rd September is Merchant Navy Day in the UK. The Merchant Navy’s flag is the Red … what?

A1)        The Red Ensign.

Q2)        It’s National Welsh Rarebit Day in the US. Welsh rarebit is basically what on toast?

A2)        Cheese on toast.

Q3)        Guitarist, Steve Jones was born on 3rd September, 1955.   He and Paul Cook, recently sued John Lydon.   All three had been members of which band?

A3)        The Sex Pistols.

Q4)        Omi was born on 3rd September, 1986. On which Caribbean island: Jamaica, Coast Rica or Montserrat?

A4)        Jamaica.

Q5)        A British Residency was besieged: on 3rd September, 1879. A residency, where: Kabul, Johannesburg or Cairo?

A5)        Kabul.   (If I’ve understood it correctly, a Residency, Resident or Resident minister, was similar to an ambassador: except he was a resident in a colony or protectorate, rather than an ambassador to to an independent nation.)

Here’s a thought … 

“One of the things that kept me out of trouble was doing something creative - creativity can’t be judged.”

Beyoncé.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        It went well enough, Olga.   Although it turns out that the form my case worker wants me to fill in can only be sent out after the 29th day: yesterday, in other words.   You HAVE to love bureaucracy, don’t you … ?   (Now … about parsnips … )

†        I think I saw that float past on Wikipedia, Trevor: but I went with the fairly vanilla set you saw.   (One of these, you mean … ?   Apparently, they’re supposed to go with ball gowns …)

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        I can imagine, Debbi!   Actually, I’ll have to sit down with the Bela Lugosi version, at some point.   Oh, thought this might interest you: it seems Salman Rushdie’s releasing his new book by email.
