    Happy BDAY tomorrow, E. BORING Sandy!!

    So I was going to go into work today but am working from home instead. I just didn't feel like making the trek so I had a stomach bug. I plan to go to the health food store and pickup the organic turkey. Yum!

    Virgil is a NUT. He tried to engage a 150 lb. bull dog this morning when I let him out to do his business. I think I'm having a heart attack! Thank God the bull dog's owner had the strength to hold him back. I mean how dare that bull dog walk in front of our house! Virg would have made a tasty snack.

    Going to see my gastro doc today. Colonoscopy set up date time. YYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

    Barb, enjoy your day!

    Sandy-I'm so glad to hear your BORING news.

    Barb-sounds like today is a good day for a "stomach bug". 

    What is it about little dogs? Our 13 lb. Annie will always try to challenge the Labs, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, etc. that we meet on our walks. They just look at her with pity in their eyes.

    Munchkin weighs all of 11 lbs. and will constantly challenge the larger dogs in the 'hood - I keep telling her they think she is a Chicken McNugget - yummy snack for the dobermans but she won't listen!  Blue, she's started honky tonkin' just like Virg - it's soooo cute.

    Hi Everybody!

    Sandy .. I am so happy for your good news!  My little Winston thought he was the head rooster too.  He'd go after anything .. including people.

    Blue ... Geez .. I'm glad you and Virg are okay.  That would have really scared me.

    Barb .. Glad you are working from home today.  As much as I need the job I applied for, I hate working for corporate America.  That's why I started my own business.  I hope something else turns up for you.

    I'm making sugar cookies.  Trying a "new" recipe from my very old (35 years) cookbook.  It calls for confectioners sugar and a cup of butter.  Yummy.  I'm letting the dough chill now, then I'll roll it out with my Christmas cookie cutters.

    Can you tell I was really bored ... bored enough to bake, but not clean.  I firmly believe cleaning should be done at the last minute, and my mom won't be here until the 27th, so I'm good for a few more days.

    Hope everyone has a good day,

    Bren

    Rosemary  yuck to the colonoscopy.

    BinVa I agree with you about cleaning. I will be doing mine Friday. Before I do the Shelty needs a good brushing she is leaving fur all over the house.

    Speaking of small dogs thinking their big Kira weighs 16 pounds, but would happily take on the whole neighborhood. She isn't the smartest tool in the shed is all I can say! But I love her anyway.

    Virgil is all of 7 lbs., and hateful when it comes to any other dog who even looks our way.  He's now going to go in the garage just like a kitty.  hahahahahahahaha!

    My brother and his wife had a Yorkie who thought he was a big dog, too. I went with my SIL once to walk him around the block, and he was lunging at the end of his leash at a BULL MASTIFF!! Who was thankfully chained and secure enough in his dogdom to not want to kill the little dog yapping at him. LOL Their son named the Yorkie "Amos", because that was a "big dog name" and he thought he was a big dog.

    ok I'm stumped I just got a Smithfield country ham given to me as a  Christmas gift. I have no idea how to treat this thing. It has a really odd smell the dogs seem to love. They are trying to climb on the counter. Anyone have any idea what to do with the dang thing?

    Slice it up and serve it! Yum, Smithfield hams... drool. They're fully cooked, but you can put the whole thing in the oven to warm it up, before slicing and serving.

    ETA: The smell might be from the smoking they were cured with. They're not sweet honey hams.

    Hmm, 350 to 375 in the oven for an hour and a half to two hours seems like a good starting place.

    The soaking will leach some of the salt used for curing out of it. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why couldn't they have gotten you a fully-cooked ham?

    So I am sitting here doing colonoscopy prep wondering why anyone would do a colon cleanse. EVER.
