Chainsaw wielding Honey Badger driving a bulldozer. I brake for nothing. Except pets. And children, maybe.
Scout
11/29 '19
A day of highs and lows. In and out all day cooking and going to Thanksgiving dinners. Came home to find my dog Scout can't or won't stand. He's been ill for some little while. I just had to make the arrangements to put him down tomorrow. I already don't like Black Friday. This is just going to add to my resentment.
Thanksgiving, 2019 edition
11/18 '19
From time to time I get drafted to cook Thanksgiving dinner for some friends who are destitute when it comes to culinary arts. This year's menu:
Crown roast of brined pork loin
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry walnut sausage dressing
Green bean casserole
Corn pudding
Yeast rolls
Gravy
Apple cranberry chutney
Dessert will be a cornucopia of pies, provided by the hostess.
Of course I have to make the epic quest to the Buy N' Large a week ahead of Thanksgiving to lay in most of the supplies for the feast. Assuming I survive, the meal should be memorable.
Thank you for giving Scout such a happy life and a compassionate transition. Your vet sounds really wonderful and caring.
What a very good boy.
