Jennifer's pal, Mike Hannan (former RR Fire Chief) and I were discussing
her dog Sugar Fox. Sugar Fox is an American Indian dog but Mike and I agreed she
certainly looks like she's got more wolf in her ... Sugar Fox:

For those of you with waffle irons.... I posted this a few years
ago...
The waffle iron and cookie dough.
Oatmeal cookie dough!
(A dollop of ice cream on top or an ice
cream sandwich!)
The package of dough calls for 1 T
water, but I put in 5 T water. Made it easier to work with. Drop by spoonfuls on
the hot iron and bake 7 minutes. I experimented with size and the larger size
came off the iron easier. OH BOY ARE THEY GOOD! Next is peanut butter
cookies!

Ok, saw a couple friends shared this video on FB so had to show you. I was
laughing soooooooooooo hard. Putting a leash on a cat for the first time.....
PJ and Dave take their cat for a walk on a leash all the time. But not this
cat...
There are a few more videos on YouTube like this if you type "cat on leash"
in the search window you can watch them all. So funny. Even Bruiser liked
watching!
Yesterday was a yearly trip to my rehumatologist/allergist. Down to
Medford....I was given the big OK and then off to get a blood test. Stopped in
the liquor store on the way home to get some of that Crown Royal Apple... but
the gal told me you can't find it anywhere in So. Oregon. Sold out! Will be a
couple weeks until they get more in. So............... instead I bought some
Yukon Jack Applejack!
It smells like Granny Smith Apples! And it tastes like HEAVEN!!!! Wow, good
stuff!!!
For dinner I wanted something without meat... so I mixed some quinoa and
red Thai rice in my rice cooker... added a little infused olive oil along with
the water and some garlic sea salt ..
Then I chopped up some vegetables, put them in the frying pan with some
whole snapeas, and enough water to steam them lid on, then lid off and
evaporated the water and added in some olive oil...
I stir fried the veggies and then added in the cooked quinoa and rice and
some fresh spinach...
Next was a couple cans of sliced mushrooms... and some cheese..
Stirred it all up and heated through and voilรก ... dinner!
OMGOOOOOOD!!!!!
That and a glass of wine and a fire in the wood stove and some stupid shows
on TV!
Oh, and speaking of wine... I wore my new sweatshirt to the doc's
yesterday. Everyone loved it!
All I know. Happy TGIF. Nuff said. Ciao.

January 30th
National Croissant Day
CROISSANT
A rich, buttery, crescent-shaped roll made of puff pastry that layers yeast dough with butter (known as laminating). Stories of the roll being made in the shape of the crescent of the Turkish flag, after the defeat of the Turks in the Siege of Vienna in 1683, are a perpetuated myth. Recipes for croissants do not appear in recipe books until the early 1900s, according to theOxford Companion To Food, and the earliest French reference is in 1853. The croissant is descendant of the Austriankipfel, a crescent roll that was brought to Paris in 1938 or 1939 by August Zang, an Austrian military officer. The kipfel was ultimately interpreted into puff pastry by the French, where it achieved immortality as the croissant. You can read this history in Jim Chevallier’s book, August Zang and the French Croissant: How Viennoisserie Came To France (Kindle edition).
