I hope return to the east coast someday; our last trip was so
wonderful. One of those vacations where we did a lot, visited
numerous places and ate everything in sight.

If and when it happens, NS, I'll let you know so you can decorate
with banners and balloons and stuff lol

fugget the decorations, it's vodka and 5 seasons of quaf marathon. and i'll tie you down if i have to. i have NOBUDDY to watch it with!

Has anyone here heard from Trebleclef? I've sent her some PMs & still haven't heard anything for some time. Just wondering if everything is ok with her. It looks like her last post was back in November.

omg, she's been gone that long? ;( don't suppose anyone has her email????

[amycrows]

There are a few people MIA lately but Trebleclef is not on my list of people I have info on

[NSangel]

OK, i got her email from Boo. So basically I said we're missing her, hoping everything is okay, and that we normally would send a mountie out but lately they haven't been returning, donno why, and inserted this pic (hoping to get her attention)



so hopefully we'll hear back that she's okay, and better yet, maybe she'll drop in and say hi.

Andit - can you post your dog cookie recipe? China's almost outa cookies, I could bake 1 big batch before the summer heat!

Thanks!

You betcha. Of course, I'm lazy & just reposting the original note I sent. If you have any specific questions or wanna try something different, let me know. Jusr a word of warning if you try rice flour or something other than all-purpose flour, it is very hard to roll out the dough. Actually, the cookies I was baking last night/early this morning were peanut butter & oatmeal. I took rolled oats & put them in the blender & ground them up into dust. Well, just about, then sifted them through a strainer & used as if it were flour. A bit of a pain to roll out the dough & really only works with peanut butter (really icky with carrot ). Had no choice, cause my friend's dog is allergic to wheat, so used oats.

If ya come by my place, I can bake you a big batch. & I'll make you shortbread too. Anyone else wanna come for a visit? I might even tell you which ones are for dogs & which for people.


Banana Dog Cookies
Mash 2 bananas.
Add 2 cups water & mix thoroughly until consistent.
Add enough flour to make a thick dough.
Roll out to about 1/2inch thickness (can be thicker if you want chewier cookies, but they won`t last as long).
Cut out shapes using cookie cutters (or a glass or a knife, etc).

For Chewy Cookies:
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
Turn off oven & allow to cool.

For Crunchy Cookies:
Bake at 200F for 45 minutes.
Turn off oven & allow to cool.

You can substitue anything in the world your pup likes. I`ve found the dogs in my neighbourhood (they know me as the cookie lady) all like cauliflower, broccoli & banana. Most like apple & carrot. Some love pear, but some will turn up their nose at it.


Peanut Butter Cookies
Whip 1/2 cup pb until creamy.
Mix in 1/4 cup milk until the pb is thin & runny (may need to add more milk - can use water if lactose intolerant, I just find milk makes the cookies creamier).
Add enough flour to make a thick dough.
Roll out to about 1/2inch thickness (can be thicker if you want chewier cookies, but they won`t last as long).
Cut out shapes using cookie cutters (or a glass or a knife, etc).

For Chewy Cookies:
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
Turn off oven & allow to cool.

For Crunchy Cookies:
Bake at 200F for 45 minutes.
Turn off oven & allow to cool.


Lastly, I either dehydrate liver (have a dehydrator which is great), but the, um, aroma can be overwhelming. Not to mention annoying when a certain feline starts to scream at me to hurry the process along. I've also been known to make liver cake.

Liver Cake
1lb liver
1 egg
1.5 cups flour
Mix everything together in a bowl - should have a consistency like a brownie.
Put in a cake pan.
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
Cool & serve.
Refrigerate leftovers.
Great for b-day parties.


If you make the chewy versions of the cookies or the cake, keep in mind that it should be eaten within a week, depending on how warm & humid your environment is. The crunchy cookies last a couple of weeks with no problems (in a sealed container). You can also freeze them & change the recipe to cut the amounts in half or double without altering the recipe.

Let me know how they turn out if you decide to bake them.

My 90 year old grandma passed on this evening at 7:30pm...I got a call from my aunt saying the family had been call to attend the home she was placed in...We got there at almost 5pm and it sure went quickly...I have a phobia of "dead people" so am so proud and strong of myself...I was holding her hand and talking to her reassuring her it was going to be okay, to go peacefully and she opened her eyes really BIG and she had ocean blue eyes and she took three deep breathes and she was gone...I'll never forget those blue eyes...she'd been suffering from Alzheimer's for the past 13 years...

RIP grandmere LeBlanc...you'll always be "My Fancy Nancy" I called her Fancy Nancy to make her laugh...she certainly didn't look like she was 90...I miss her already and it's only been a few hours

Im sorry for your loss. Never a good day when some one special leaves but at least they are going to a better place. They way you descibed it was wounderfully done (lots of feeling. Made me feel what you were).
