Friday night was tiki bar and women’s football! Also @racingloufc.com won 2-0!

Mick had a 2.5 mile walk and Wyatt had a 3 mile trail run but are they ready to wrassle? Absolutely.

Who gave my dogs coffee today?
Two dogs in a home office. The black and white dog on the left is sitting. He is wearing a cone on his neck. The gray and black dog on the right is in down dog pose with his tongue out.

This is what disappointment embodied looks like.
We took a walk without them.
We didn’t give them any of our lunch.
How dare we.

This is how Mick and Wyatt felt about my afternoon snack (apple and peanut butter).
Two large dogs laying on the floor, front legs outstretched, looking directly at the camera to beg for treats.

This is one of my top 3 cookbooks of all time.
I’ve had it at least 15 years.
Every recipe has a picture and every recipe turns out exactly like the picture.
It’s is all damn delicious.
A cookbook, Great Easy Meals.

Snow day is a perfect cookbook browsing day. My first handful of selections.
A pile of cookbooks on a dining room table. The science of good cooking. The food lab. Feed these people. Umami bomb. Keto sheet pan cookbook. Great easy meals. Complete Mediterranean cookbook.

Hello mama.
You’ve stood up for your chair.
I need your attention.
Can we walk? Run? Fetch? Snuggle?

Picked up a special treat today. #WhiskeyWednesday
A bottle of Knob Creek 18 year bourbon. It’s a square bottle with a gold and brown label.

Woke up on time.
Ran in the foggy woods.
Had a good breakfast.
There is a leaf-covered trail in the middle of the photo. The trail winds between trees that are mostly bare of leaves. There is a light blue sky and fog between the trees. There are trees with barely and leaves and a small creek flowing over a series of rock ledges in a small waterfall. Brown leaves litter the floor.

Squash two ways:
Butternut squash and apple soup, with Vermont sharp cheddar and prosciutto.
Nutmeg and sage rubbed pork tenderloin with rosemary-steamed squash, apple, and onion.
A bowl of yellow soup topped with shredded white cheese and small pieces of fried prosciutto. A colorful plate topped with sliced pork and a side of chopped squash, apple, and onion.
