just 10 more

and all the other good dogs out there.  After the dog food scare I looked into making homemade food for Betsy the B. but never got that ambitious; her brand wasn’t affected anyway.  But I did try a couple different treats and this one proved the winner.  The garlic is supposed to keep fleas away, too.

                 Garlic Parmesan Cookie

2c. flour (white or wheat-I use half each), 1/3c. oil (I use canola), 1/3c. Parmesan cheese, 1t. garlic powder, 1 egg, 1/3c. powdered milk, enough water for a stiff dough—-get your hands in there and mix.  Roll out thinly-I put between 2 sheets of tin foil in about 3 batches and use rolling pin.  Cut in cute shapes or not—I don’t bother anymore.  Put in a 350 oven  for 15-20min.  Turn oven off, can leave in oven up to 8 hrs.  Break in pieces, store tightly covered. Freeze in zip bags.   I make it up about every 3 weeks.  As you can see, it’s also safe for humans, not my fav. though.

Ok……. bfsk: 1 pkt. reg. oatmeal w/ skim, V8 juice, decaf. tea w/skim……………. snack: 2 slices thin deli ham, 2 rye crackers, 1 slice low fat Swiss……….lunch:homemade clam chowder-2 bowls,   1/2 banana…………….dinner: Panera: 1/2 Greek salad,  low fat chicken noodle soup

I keep thinking it’s later than it actually is with this time change.   A. is currently snoring in the Lazy Boy. She had a headache again today; I think she’s going through the season change/ turning the heat on thing that I did last week or else she’s got another sinus infection.  I put a warm damp cloth on her face and covered w/ a heating pad on low—humidity, as some of you suggested, may just help.  Will try to talk her into neti later but it’s a hard sell; in usual 15 y.o. fashion she tells everyone for days that I tried to drown her.  Been there, done that; not sure I want to revisit that whole scene.

Later, chickadees!
