Dogs in the Hood
Took our normal bike ride to MacRae’s the other morning and played with all the pooches. On the way back I spotted these adorable little bundles of chaos!
These cuties are part Jack Russell and part Beagle and brother and sister. How much fun is it going to be raising them?
A puppy can’t get much cuter than these two. Well, Maggie was pretty cute. Here she is helping me with my website back in 2000.
Maggie was a funny little puppy that liked to amuse us at that age. She liked to stalk her stuffed toys and shake the stuffing out of them. She also chewed all the corners off of our bathroom cabinets, enjoyed pulling the threads out of our berber carpeting throughout the entire house, and one day shredded 12 rolls of toilet paper. Funny little puppy.
Looking forward to seeing Lois and Clark in the future and hearing about their exploits.
And here’s Mingo, getting bigger, but not quite growing into those ears yet!
Not a puppy, but Bacca is still cute.
I read once that if you have a fat dog, you aren’t getting enough exercise. Well, some consider Maggie a chunky monkey (we like to say that she’s buff). She walks two miles with us every other day. On bike days, she doesn’t just ride in the bike basket–she always starts and ends our bike rides with a run.
Maggie’s almost 13 and still going strong. And still amusing us.
Adventures in the Kitchen with Terry!
Oh, no! Michelle’s AWOL so I asked Terry to let me take photos of him preparing his famous BBQ Salmon for our healthy cooking feature this week:
Terry has been salmon fishing a few times in Alaska. The first time he brought home a whole lot of salmon, halibut, and this recipe:
And we followed that recipe for many years. I mixed up the BBQ sauce. Terry did the rest. But then I got lazy. I mean, this BBQ sauce recipe tastes just like the cheap stuff that comes in the bottle, but I actually have to get ingredients out, make a mess in the kitchen, dirty measuring cups, then have to clean it all up. So the recipe evolved. Much easier–I do nothing except eat it. It’s got to be a little lighter without the butter. And it does taste the same–yummy.
And here’s some pics of Terry preparing the BBQ salmon:
Terry found this brown sugar container when he lived in Dallas. It’s very precious. Seems to be one of a kind. I have never seen this stuff in any store in my entire life. It’s actually for coffee. (Who puts brown sugar in coffee? Just people in Dallas.) So he kept the container and now he just puts plain old brown sugar in it and shakes it onto the salmon. Same stuff. I suggest you find a parmesan cheese shaker and put some brown sugar in it. (Hint–take the cheese out first)
We can only hope that Michelle returns next week. Or you might get my famous low cal chocolate chip cookie recipe. And they will most likely be burnt. It’s all on Michelle now.
