Dog Food a la hash

Years ago, in 1989 to be specific, I made a dog food - shiny, slimy, really good aroma dog food.

A roast beef recipe I like calls for Camp*ells golden mushroom soup. The roast was divine. Recalling that Mom often made hash with her leftover mashed potatoes, gravy and meat, I made hash.

We oohed and awed over the aroma til it was time to serve it. Looked just exactly like dog food. I guess the soup gave it that df shininess. I looked away as I made our plates up. Both sat down and agreed we couldn't eat it - and didn't even have a dog to toss it to.

So BearNaked has been busy passing out awards (thank you!) to bloggers.

For her to choose this blog is quite an honor as she's got a blog with a lot of energy and it's all about being bare, bear, I mean.

Wendy, one of the gang of bloggers, sure deserved it. Check out her blog, too.

A big bear hug is sent your way.

Kicked that lion in the rear and got the lawns done.

I picked green and yellow beans. Blanched and frozen. Pulled the rest of the bean plants. We may have had another harvest but I'm already tired of the garden. Roast beef in oven for supper.

Forecast is for rain but I had to water the yard, very dry. If we get showers, it will be a bonus, esp. for the garden.

Our lovely daughter-in-law flew home yesterday to visit family and friends. Mark told me she should arrive at 1 a.m. Well, I lay awake and finally, at 1:10 a.m. was able to doze off for the night!

Our weather is "feeling" very different. This morn, we saw our company depart at 7:20 and I felt moisture and a chill in the air - not complaining as it's been in the 30's.

Have been reading blogs and now reality hits - the lawns are so long that I think wild animals are grazing safely out there.

Have a good day, Everyone.

Monday, Monday

WOMEN'S REVENGE

'Cash,
check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.

As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.

'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked.

'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me,

and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.'

Happy Birthday, Elaine!

Lettuce Do Our Laundry

A post or two back, mentioned I lost part of my lettuce spinner. Today, I washed lettuce, wrapped it in a white kitchen towel and set it all in the sink.

Time to do the whites - all my kitchen towels. Grabbed everything, tossed it in the washer.

Final spin, yes, you've guessed it already. My washer is coated with lettuce. Now, if I tried to carry a towel of lettuce 15' to the washer, it would never happen. Some would have fallen out to alert me.

I'm rewashing the towels - I think the lettuce as had enough washing and is well spun dry!

Update: Got an email wondering if I used the lettuce. No, a thousand times no.
