Ooooh! *bat bat bat at teh streemers* Smudge's diabetes am playin peakabu wif us. We'z lurning to match teh insulin d'ohsij to his eeting adn actibity lebels. I feel like it's a moving target, but we're slowly zeroing in on it. :-) We've stayed home the last few New Year's Eves, then invited friends over on New Year's Day for the western PA tradition of pork and sauerkraut and New Year's pretzels. The pretzel is just sweet roll dough formed into a large pretzel shape, baked, then glazed and decorated with nuts, cherries, whatever. I only make it once a year, so decided on Friday to do a trial run. Thought the dough felt odd, but didn't realize my mistake until I set it aside to rise, started to clean off the countertop, and saw the egg that was supposed to be added in at the beginning. You can't add the egg after the dough has been kneaded. (Ask me how I know this) Threw it out, had another cup of coffee, and started over. Second time's a charm. :-)

Ohai, Laurie! My silly sense ob hyoomur, let me show you it. I love gentle humor, word play, and trying to imagine what our furkids would say to us. I grew up watching Looney Tunes and Rocky & Bullwinkle every Saturday morning. Ugh, just looked out the window to see freezing rain and snow, and some healthy wind gusts. I'm so glad I don't have to go anywhere today. Take care out there in the frozen tundra. When I was in Mpls, I lived in Dinkytown, then Uptown. I still miss the stroll to Lake of the Isles. Happy Gnu Yeer adn keep the LOLs coming, plskthx! *schmoo*
By laughingcats on Dec 27, 2011 at 9:19 PM
