Eating Lucy's Leftovers
First, a completely
unrelated picture because --- SNOW!!! Now back to your regular
programming....
I cooked up a big pot of pinto beans yesterday and tried out a new,
cheaper dog food recipe on Lucy:
- 25% pinto beans
- 25% raw catfish (reduced price of course)
- 25% rice
- 25% sweet potato and mustard greens
- a drizzle of bacon grease and a pinch of salt
I whirred it all up in
the food processor and gave it to Lucy to test. Delectable!, her
body language exclaimed as she spun the bowl in circles with her tongue.
Mark and I ate the
"leftovers" for lunch and supper --- turned some pinto beans into
refried beans for quesadillas, steamed the rest of the mustard greens
to eat with balsamic vinegar, stewed up some Spanish rice, and breaded
and fried the catfish.
I wonder what it says
about us that we're eating Lucy's leftovers?
