SHhhhheeeeeee’sssss Back!
My little foster dog from Atlanta Pet Rescue was NOT adopted this weekend. I am both sad and happy about this. I enjoy spending time with her so I am happy to see her again but sad as I want her to get the best permanent home possible.
Sure enough this wasn’t without a wee bit of drama. Last week when I dropped her off for her “TV debut” we discovered that she is allergic to something in my home. After discussion with my sister we thought that it might be my laundry detergent. So after Saturday’s adoption day proved unproductive for Robin, I went to Trader Joe’s and bought the detergent they carry and washed 17 loads of laundry over the next three days. My obsessive compulsive side is happy and my heart is happy too to welcome Robin back for awhile until she has her forever home.
AND on a silly note…
So my prior posting was about how absolutely exhausted I am thanks to hypothyroidism. I am still wiped out and over the weekend I wanted to make my honey’s favorite dessert as his birthday was Monday. Now I am a very good cook but still have yet to “master” blackberry cobbler. I thought that I would kick it out of the park this weekend. While getting detergent, I also purchased fresh blackberries and ice cream. Sure enough I misread the recipe and FORGOT TO ADD TWO INGREDIENTS! HELLO!!! When we sat down all happy for dessert, it was everything I could do to NOT spit it out! It was soooooo salty that he asked if I was trying to promote him to have high bp! Finally we tossed it into the backyard so he could “cause the opossums in the area to have heart attacks”. LOL!! Don’t worry, Sunday I made another one and since I reset the blackberry cobbler bar soooo low, it was a home run!

On an idea note…
Might suggest three possible topics for you to post about…
Since you are generally from the Atlanta area… Have you ever been to Restaurant Eugene; or would your existing favorite local place be about the same? Too bad I can’t personally convince Master Chef Ramsey to open a place in that particular area. BTW did I ever mention that both him and I are quite a bit alike?
Also since you mentioned Pittsburgh in a previous posting… Have you ever been to the Grand Concourse there?
While on the Pittsburgh topic… Perhaps a posting of your general persepectives on the true value of a classical education- even for someone whom might happen to be an artist.
