No recipe today.
Sometimes we eat food that really isn't worthy of a post.
Sometimes we eat food that a lot of people wouldn't.
In the first category is sausages and sauerkraut, or choucroute garni.
We get excellent kraut here, at the deli counter. When I bought sauerkraut in the US, it came in a can and was so strong and salty I washed it before using it. The sauerkraut I get here is excellent as is…. The only thing I add is a bit more wine and some smoked sausages.
In the second category is fish sticks and rutabagas.
Not together…. But at the same meal.
As much as mon mari complains about fish he loves fish sticks or fish fingers – with lots of tarter sauce. I buy them for a treat….
As to the rutabagas – I know a lot of people hate them, a lot have never tried them, some would leave the house if they saw me with one…. But I love them. I rarely see them, so they are also a treat. He gets his fish sticks and I get my rutabagas.
Any food secrets you'd like to share?
I will now turn the blog over to Bonnie….
After our morning nap Guapa and I like to help Other Human have lunch. He drops stuff a lot, like bread crusts and bits of cheese. It's our job to clean it up for him.
It's an important part of our day and we never miss it.
First we help him make lunch in the kitchen.
Then, when he moves into the TV room to eat, we carefully watch to make certain he does it right.
Our Human caught us with her camera…. Just as Other Human was going to give us his sandwhich.
She told him to stop teasing us.
He was really going to give it to us until she made him stop!
Really!
He told us to go sit down and let him eat in peace.
We were sorry not to get the sandwhich…..
Then our Human told us to lay down and behave.
She told Other Human to behave, too.
After lunch we go outside with our Human to work and play Kibble Toss. She throws treats out into the field and we have to find them.
Then we have our afternoon nap.
The End.
How could you deny those poor puppies, with their big, mournful, h-u-n-g-r-y eyes a morsel?
I know, I know. I have a dog.
Great pictures!
Oh my…those eyes. How could you refuse them anything. Sweet.
Good job of posting Bonnie:D
great dogs
Great post, puppies. You too Katie ;o)
Rutabagas. What would a traditional pasty be without them? And turnips (or neeps) Alas, my family won’t eat either.
A side note here, my in-laws make fabulous sauerkraut. Consequently, we eat a lot of it to the point where, no matter how much I rinse the store bought, when we’re out of the homemade, they know.
How ever do you get them to do that! Fabulous photos.
They are beautiful dogs – I love the intensity with which they watch him eat. I’m surprised you don’t have to clean up drool pools after his lunch. 🙂
🙂 Duffy has the exact same look in her eyes when it comes to foodhopes.
Who could resist those looks with their big eyes… Adorable!
Oh they are beautiful dogs. We have similar scenarios here too at every meal
Choucroute garni isn’t worthy of posting?? I beg to differ. When my husband came back from bicycle touring in the Alsace with his dad, he raved about choucroute garni. I kept saying no. He continued to rave. Louder NOs accompanied by “I’m not wild about sausage and I can’t stand sauerkraut” were met with more raving.
I finally gave in, with the stipulation that the sausages had to be really really good sausages.
And it turns out that even I like Choucroute garni. Maybe not quite as much as my husband does, but I do like it quite a lot. For the sauerkraut, we alternate between buying it from one of the Polish delis that are an easy bicycle ride away OR salting shredded cabbage a day before making choucroute garni and using that.
I LOVE rutabaga – boiled and mashed with a little butter and nutmeg! But oddly, we haven’t had it in years. I see rutabagas from time to time but those little actual turnips nearby usually trump the rutabagas.
My secret food love, that I’ll never post about because it’s too embarrassing (please don’t tell anyone!!), is Velveeta cheese. I know. It’s probably not even labelled cheese; it is probably called “cheese product”. But I adore it. We never buy it. But when we visit my father-in-law, it is the first thing I go to get in his fridge that is always full of the most fabulous cheeses (Emmenthal, Roquefort, Parmaggiana, Well-aged Cheddar, Gouda, Ash-covered goats’ cheese, etc. etc.). As much as I adore all those other kinds of real cheese, I cannot stop myself from taking several slices of fake processed Velveeta cheese.
Karen, they are always, always starving!
Susan, we’re getting hardened LOL
Val, I’ll pass on the kind words…
Phoenicia, I’ll give them a cuddle for you.
Theo, I kind of forget about it, as I have to get it at the counter… lines, waiting and all, but I love it. Lucky you. And you get to eat all the rutabagas!
Tanna, they’re learning… slowly
Zoomie, I didn’t tale a photo of those LOL
Meredith, they’re all alike – beggars 😉
Pam, actually, the hubs gives them the crusts….
manningroad, they do breakfast and lunch with the hubs. Dinner (with me) the go to their beds….
Elizabeth, I didn’t post because there’s no recipe – or at least, not much of one. As to the Velveeta – it makes the best grilled cheese in the world. I would never, ever, ever buy it…. but I’ll eat it every chance I get LOL
