Mission

A good friend once said to me: "If a door opens in front of you - get off your ass and dance through it...laughing."

I'm trying, Nancy!

Bye bye Lola

Lola was on holidays at our house for a couple of weeks while Lesley & Dave were in Hawaii, but she went home last night.  Look at this face!  Is she adorable or what??!!


This is her "Let's play with the ball" look.  Actually it's her only look.  She is completely obsessed with her ball.  We got this look even after an hour at the park playing with the stupid ball.  As soon as we got home, it was like we'd never been out.  If you ignore the look, she'll nudge her ball a little bit closer to you, then a little bit closer, then a little bit closer....the ball has to actually disappear before she'll give up.  Now that she's gone, we have to go around the house and retrieve all of the tennis balls from the tops of shelves and from out of cupboards, wherever we stashed them when we couldn't take the game anymore. Except for the one-track mind, it was fun to have a little dog around the house for awhile.
The only problem was that I couldn't say her name without hearing the Kinks...

I tried another Pinterest recipe for dinner tonight.  
Of course I substituted seafood for the chicken.  I also added some sour cream to the seafood and sprinkled it with cayenne pepper. (Not enough)

Maybe I wasn't very hungry, or maybe it's no fun cooking a big meal then not having anybody to share it with, (Dan isn't feeling well) whatever, it wasn't that great.  Kind of bland.


It wasn't awful, and it WAS quick and easy, so I haven't written it off completely, but next time
I'll add more heat. (extra chiles)

It LOOKS good. Maybe your palate is used to things Mexican now and you need a little hot sauce on everything.
I know we eat some local picco de gallo now with everything and it doesn't taste hot at all.

That is a very very cute face.

Yes, except that I don't really eat spicy hot food in Mexico. I tried another enchilada warmed up the next day and decided that I just didn't like the sauce. Two cups of chicken broth is too much. Next time it will get a cheese sauce instead.

Lola is still awfully cute, and I smile every time I come here and still see her little face. But a new blog would also be good. Just sayin.

Cheese sauce, that sounds good!!

I've been without a computer for a VERY L-O-N-G time. Just picked it up from Memory Express this morning, so we'll see if it's up to the task later today.
