The Mean Kitty Song

Well, ignore the last post and try this one. I guess that old learning curve is steeper than I thought...

Flickring around

Wow, I not only got onto Flickr, but actually posted pictures and then added one to my own blog. I could get to likin' this stuff.
For those who are contemplating adding a picture from Flickr to a blog entry, if your blog is on blogger (along with the rest of us newbies) you choose the first option offered at Flickr when asked what type of blog you have. I think the option was just called "Blogger blog".

What do you mean "no ball"?

Sigh. Poor Lucky is no longer allowed to play ball in the house.
Lucky is a 3 year old Pug/Rat Terrier mix with a serious tennis ball jones. So, the next time you're feeling sorry for yourself, remember Lucky and count your blessings. After all, you can play ball in the house any time you want.

Orange food (no, not citrus...tho that's allowed, too)

Now that autumn has hit, I thought I would suggest a side dish that I have found to be rather nice when the temperature dips. Don't remember where I got it, except that it began life as a French bistro dish, but after being tweaked and messed with here are the general rules:

2 lbs sweet potato, peeled and diced (1 inch dice)
3-4 garlic cloves (whole)

Boil together in salted water until the sweet potato is done, about 30 minutes.
By the time the sweet potato is done, the cloves of garlic will be quite soft....almost mushy.
Drain, and add:
1 container of frozen chopped spinach, drained and squeezed dry.
Mash vigorously....or just until you like the texture.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Anyone want to add their own favorite "orange" recipe?
