Good 30º morning. No idea what it looks like outside. Too dark yet. Pressure going up so supposed to get some sun today? Hmmm.... maybe.
**Retraction** I have no clue as to why I put Margarita Day on my blog on January 20th. Not one clue! Trish had pointed it out, thank you for that, and I thought it had been on my blog recently too, and so I have checked and rechecked my sites and all say it's February 22nd. Sorry. But, I did get it right for yesterday!
Dang, gas has jumped from $3.77 to $3.99 in two days. That is for regular 87 octane. Scary.
Yesterday was haircut day. Always a great time. Leah, my go to hair girl, is just the most fun! We laugh a lot, tell lots of stories, and even Ruchelle, Crystal, and Lisa contribute to the insanity. We discussed what Patty had told me that they now have peanut butter flavored vodka!
OMG. I WANT some of that. We decided we would mix it with chocolate vodka and have a "Reeces Martini". So, when I left the beauty shop I stopped at the liquor store. Nope, they had not heard of it, but will look into getting some. I found a web page that says in Oregon they have to order it through the state run liquor somethingorother control. I'll check back with them. Sounds too good. And lo and behold, I found this recipe on the NutLiquor site..
That does sound awfully sweet, but worth a try!
Also heard there is now a 'Avocado' Liquor. Hmmm... wonder about that. Just doesn't sound that good, as much as I love avocados. I do like, however, the walnut liquor Nocello... from Italy. Sip some of this in front of a snuggy warm fire.... yowsa!
I am still fooling around with the cherry dump crockpot mess. I put the ingredients along with a small can of crushed pineapple in my small crockpot..... I didn't put in all the cake mix, left out 6 oz of an 18 oz package...
It had to cook for 6 hours on low ....
For me... TOO sweet! Tasted like eating just sugar on top. Although, the mixture of crushed pineapple with the cherry pie filling was GOOD! One more experiment with this.... problem is with the cake mix we always made this dump cake in a 13x9 pan... so the topping was thin. Will keep you posted....
Dinner last night was good. Took a package of sausage, cut it up and heated in olive oil. Added a jar of Tostitos salsa and about 1/3 of a cube of cream cheese and 4 diced Roma tomatoes....
I cooked some corn muffins and then served the sausage mixture on top of the broken up muffins....

You might appreciate their value in pleasing your dog, as a reward for behavior, or enticing them to do a trick. But, the dog is the recipient of the treat.
Celebrate today by giving your dog a few dog biscuits.
