she ate a book of mine this morning, only the cover so it's still readable and she ate the back of one of my shoes later in the day.  I hid the evidence 'cause she's really on the wife's list lately.  I threw a dummy for her for a long time just a bit ago.  She needs more action in her life, but don't we all

 

So, she ate the cover off yer copy of Cooking Californian, then ate the end off of yer Garfield slippers, so you take her out and throw Smurf around for her???!

By the way, did you know rosemary is used as an ornamental in SD?   If I need some, just go for a short walk.  

And Jasmine rice is great.  Lucky god of fortune or Elephant brand from Thailand. 

Speaking of, I'm sure we all know that for many hundreds of years, and still today, in Northern Minnesota, rice is harvested by hitting the overhanging  stalks with a stick while gliding along in a canoe! That's what catches the rice...I KNEW there was a correlation somewhere between the two! To have rice, you must have a CANOE!  Me and Smurf are all set!!

I got a rare two thumbs down on my supper tonight, would have got three but my son wasn't there.  They busted me on the venison being in the meatloaf.  I used the RH ring bologna left over, tip #1 was that it had that reddish color from the tender quick I used.  I dug in and thought it was really flavorful and really good.  I noticed the girls were doing that move the food around on the plate move without much fork action going up to the mouth.

I asked the question and Deb said, "this is venison isn't it?"  I busted myself answering when I answered with a lie and at the same time used my napkin to wipe and cover my mouth.  I'm sure Reb could tell us that the body language was a dead give away.

I thought it was good, ton of flavor, and the color was better than that drab normal meat loaf color.  I think it's good to throw a dud to the family every once in while so they appreciate things.

No pics? Well!! The answer there was HOW you served it...place the pices AROUND the perimeter of the plate; then when they do the "O ick, push" thing, it ends up in a pile, immediately showing you they aren't eating it. What was the side dish?

Wild rice ain't rice.  It is a species of grass.   And Rice-a-roni ain't rice either.

O fer god sakes. Illegal packaging. Misrepresentation. I've been bilked. I'm calling my attorney Charlie. Wait 'til the Native Americans find out. This ain't real either. It's the friggin' Twilight Zone.

They didn't call it rice.  They had never seen actual rice.  The Europeans called it rice.  Sue them. 

But if you are making fried rice, for heaven's sake use actual rice you cook yourself.

Shearing done. Chores done. Pulled pork sammiches, Cole slaw, chips, some southwest dip, cheesecake and a glass of moo juice. Tuckered. 

[smurfy]

Hey dotch, can I ask what you do with the sheep's clothing??

[Dotch]

The shearer buys it except for the black fleeces. Handspinners buy those.

[RebelSS]

Smurf is a black sheep. 

[Dotch]

heh, heh, heh. I gotta see this smurf guy. Maybe someone could post some "pictures"...

I also gotta try this Rice a Roni thing you speak of. Can honestly say I've never had it. Make some Minute Rice once in a while, usually the brown stuff. I prefer the real thing but the time factor comes into play. Mrs. Cheviot grew up on a dairy farm so everything had to be done in a hurry or at least that's what I was told. Planning ahead or having her help in that department doesn't seem to be an option. Sometimes I feel like a "kept man".  Probably one of the reasons I've assumed a lot of the cooking duties. I like to know where my food comes from and in particular eat what I have time to raise.

Variety is key too. I know I've told her that if we don't change the menu and diet up somewhat we may as well buy a bag of dog food and grind on that!  The lambing season can put some time constraints on our schedule so will rely sometimes on quick stuff from Schwans. I like frozen veggies and veggies in general so there are options to go with some of the main course items. I need to make a habit of stopping at the local meat market more frequently as well. It's the same place that processes our lambs and I've been guilty of forgetting about him before I leave town. Nice selection and would help keep some variety in the mix. Love the way the lamb is processed. And, getting the grill involved is always a nice escape for me. Have some cocktails, a beer or two, play with the dog, unwind and enjoy life for a spell while I'm grilling. Sometimes it even makes her feel guilty enough to make some of the sides. Notice I say "sometimes". What really makes me laugh is when wives of friends find out I've been doing all this, and say words to her like "Gee, wish my husband did that". At least it has the desired effect if only temporarily.

I will give you an amen Dotch!!!  

[smurfy]

dotch......just imagine the pictures on your wife's hot firemen calender!!!!!!!!!!!!! something along those lines!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not that kind of girl smurf...

Sunny here this morning and once again it is already warmer then the forecast. I got a hankering for polish sausage for lunch today but it is on the off limit food but I decided I was going to reward myself for my good lab work of the other day.I did at least make myself have to work for them a little. So I took the shovel out and cleared away some snow from the fire pit, grabbed a handful of wood chips and some broken maple branches and started me a little cooking fire. Speared a couple of sausages and roasted them babies till the got a little burnt and split and hauled them in the cabin. Dug deep in the back of the fridge and found some mustard, still smacking my lips, taste pretty dang good here in the middle of February!

[RebelSS]

Good man, Bobby!     Dotch, ya gotta do the Rice-a-roni fried rice additions trick I posted. It's NOM NOM NOM.

That sounds like the bomb!  I'll probably save that one for my personal consumption. Mrs. Cheviot doesn't "get" the whole spending of time on the internet thing. She can sure yap on the phone for hours though! 

[leechlake]

similar to my fork policing I need to do some "bomb" policing.  I've never graduated past cool myself but the kids say, "It's bomb" actually.  They leave the "the" out.  I believe "the" used to be involved but it has since become uncool and it's merely "bomb".   I will give an example:

Dotch- "did you go to the nudist Christmas party this year?"

RH- "why yes I did, it was bomb!"

I don't know if there is an Institute that covers the correct handling of this but from the teenagers I'm around I believe they would Snapchat confirmation that this is correct.

I used the archaic form of the present day vernacular and must admit to my transgressions. I stand corrected. 

Oops! I used the old emoticon. Better?  

[RebelSS]

HAHAHA!!  Say, I did find that purported  "Fireman pic" of him he was yapping about...it's bomb!
