A few weeks ago my dog had asked you all for a couple dog bone recipes...we got over 50...so thank you. While my mom was here(also a dog owner) I mentioned to her that I wanted to start making my own dog bones. She was very much on board with this and also wanted to make her puppy some as well. So after the Easter dishes were done we set out to make dog biscuits. We originally were only going to make two kinds but then my mom realized that we didn't use the molasses, and darn it all, we bought molasses just to use in these biscuits...so we made three kinds. As I suspected, the peanut butter kind were by far my puppy's favorite...however, both dogs loved all three kinds and gladly ate them whenever they were tossed their way. I can not for the life of me remember who gave me what recipe so if you recognize one you submitted, please let me know...or if you know where it was from. Quick Hockey Update: Calgary lost their first game...apparently they were confused and thought it was a … [Read more...]
Invasion of the Body Snatchers….
So it is playoff hockey time. This year it is twice as nerve racking, for both my teams have made the playoffs(sorry Ivonne about the Leafs). Luckily, my teams are in separate conferences and really only have the chance of playing each other in the Stanley Cup playoffs. That would tear me apart. This is the time of year that my husband says he has no idea who I am, he thinks I have been abducted by the NHL. I will admit that I tend to go off the deep end a little. I swear constantly like a drunken sailor. I throw things(mostly balled up socks). I only watch about half the game because I work my stomach into so many knots that the minute the other team gets in our zone and has a chance to score I switch the channel and scream, “BAD ZONE, BAD ZONE!” I also, out of superstition, eat the same thing over and over again based on what I was eating the first game my team had their first win. Last year it was pea soup(so not doing that again...my team made it all the way to the … [Read more...]
Hmmmmm…..
Dear Mr. Peabody(first off Peabody is my first name and I am a woman...just want to clear that up), I recently made your muffins that were so highly recommended. One blog even said they were the best muffins ever. Well mine turned out horrible. I am an excellent baker so I know that I did nothing wrong, it must be your recipe. I wanted to bring these to a pot luck and so I made a double batch. I wasted $7.30 on making these. Enclosed is my address, I would appreciate a refund for the money I spent on the ingredients. I will take a personal check if that would be easier. Sincerely, XXXXX At first I thought this person was kidding...but turns out they were not. I told them they would get a refund as soon as every cookbook publisher gave me a refund for every recipe I tried and did not like. I haven't heard back from them since. I have to say this is by far the strangest email I have ever received in regards to my blog. Keep in mind this is the second email like this from this … [Read more...]
The cookie so good my mom had to tell me they were so good about 20 times…
My mom and I talk a lot about food. I mean a lot. Sometimes my mom will list everything she ate that day or read me a recipe over the phone. She loves describing food to me, which I hate, because I usually become hungry by the time she is done. And since she does not live close to me I can not go over and get it. For months now she has been going on and on about these cranberry orange cookies....telling me over and over again how good they are(she keeps having senior moments and forgets that she has told me how good these are). So before she came here this weekend I told her, for the love of Pete bring the stinking cranberry orange cookie recipe. So as you can clearly see the cookies were indeed made and I must say that they are tasty and agree with my mother that they are good. To me they say winter(they are from a Christmas magazine after all) but my mother makes them year round. The original recipe said macadamia nuts, but we make ours with pistachio because we both agree they go … [Read more...]
