Anyone around?

wow Lynda, I remember when you were moving!  I can't believe it has been a year.

Loopyseven

Wow Lynda - a year already.

Autumn would be so annoying if we tried to keep her out of our room.  We have a dog bed in there for her.  once in a while we'll let her on the bed in the morning if we're trying to get another hour of sleep or something, but she thinks her place is IN THE MIDDLE.

I know it's crazy.

Chef starts out under the bed.  That is his 'safe place'.  Then sometime in the middle of the night he ends up in bed.  Sometimes on my side, other times on DH's.  Sometimes he gets scared and started licking DH to death. It wakes me up.  After DH's cleaning, he comes over and snuggles up to my head.  It's like he has nightmares and gets comfort from mom and dad.  Never does he want to play.

Pepo mainly thinks we are his playmates, so unless our backs are to him, he will try to interact ALL. NIGHT. LONG.  Isabella will sleep all night long, if Pepo leaves her alone.

Berkeley is a good dog and sleeps when we sleep (and sometimes when I am awake before the sun rises).

All I want to eat is chips and salsa.  That's ok, right?  Haha.  The salsa needs to be eaten in the next couple days before I have to freeze it or cook it, anyway.  Never in my life have I made salsa and had it last thing long.  Weird.

My SIL and her ex boyfriend had a bulldog.  His sleeping place was at the end of their bed.

J&K - the salsa is healthy - just portion your chips and don't just eat them mindlessly out of the bag.

J&K10910

Yeah, I ate like 10 chips and decided I was done.  Ha.  My stomach just isn't thrilled with me tonight.  I don't feel like sick to it or anything, just....not hungry.

You can never have too much salsa. Did you consider bottling it so it will last? We used to make HUGE batches of it and bottle it so it would keep.

You mean can it?  I don't do canning.  Too much work.  Plus, I greatly prefer it completely fresh so I don't even enjoy my canned salsa as much as I should to justify the PITA that it is.

Loopyseven

I've never made my own salsa.  I do make my own jam (strawberry and strawberry rhubarb) and marinara sauce.  When I have more space again I'd like to do some additional stuff too.

willywally5

Mmmm, salsa. Can't wait to make some! Soon!

Emmie Cat had to go to the vet today and stay over. She's been having loose stools, (ew, I know) and so they need a sample to see what's going on with her. I sure hope she doesn't have anything serious. Little Glinda Kitty is lonesome for her. She keeps looking around for her and meowing her funny little meow.

Yum, can I have some strawberry rhubarb jam?  Our friend's mom makes it like crazy in early summer and hands it out but it never lasts long. 

You should totally make your own salsa.  SO MUCH BETTER than the store bought. 

J&K10910

Aw, poor little Glinda kitty

Loopyseven

I don't like salsa that much.  I buy fresh made salsa for H at farmers markets in the summer though.

J&K10910

Oh, well that makes more sense then.  Though now I'm confused as to how you don't like salsa

Loopyseven

I dunno.. I dip my chips in it, but then I pull them straight out without scooping any of the salsa onto the chip so I get a little salsa juice with the  flavor, but not actual salsa on my chip... I'm weird.   I like the tomato, but I don't really like chunks of onion (too strong) or peppers (too much spice if you actually eat one).  

jennylee813

Yeah, canning. I found that it didn't change the taste, and one evening's work got me through a whole winter. I haven't made it in forever, since my food processor broke and I didn't replace it. Now I want to...

I'm a dipper, not a scooper too, Loopy.

willywally5

I put salsa on lots of things besides chips. Carrots, fish, chicken. Sometimes I use it like salad dressing. 

J&K10910

Have you ever had pureed salsa?  I process mine until the chunks are teeny tiny, so you don't ever get any big chunks.  You might like that better!  Sounds like you like the salsa taste, but not the chunks.

kellyjellybelly

hi ladies!  Loopy, i do that with bruschetta.  I don't like chunks of things either.  I am a very strange eater.  

I am going tailgaiting Saturday for the first time in about 10 years.  I might die.  

willywally5

KJB, that sounds fun. Why do you think you might die?

Loopyseven

J&K - I do like pureed salsa better and am more likely to scoop that a little more.  I found a mexican place here that has a real smokey flavor to their pureed salsa and I really like it.  Of course H doesn't... LOL

I LOVE bruschetta, and scoop tons of that goodness onto my bread .

J&K10910

The smoky flavor is likely from ground chipotle pepper.  It's one of my favorite seasonings.  I buy it in bulk from Penzey's when I run out of the stuff my dad gives me (he smokes and grinds his own chipotles).

ETA: or just from chipotle peppers

Loopyseven

Whatever it's from, I like it .
