Pep In My Step

It's me, Scout, to tell you all something.  Normally, I walk around like Eeyore.  I drag along without too much enthusiasm.  Mama is always telling me to pick up the pace.  Well, today, I had a pep in my step.  I was a happy girl.  We were all having a great walk.  Do you know what happened?  Joey peed on me!  That's right, he peed on my nose. My pep is now gone.  I don't think it will ever return.

Contentment - Part 2

We have had a busy day.  This morning, Mama finally defrosted the freezer.  It needed it.  Then, she took us to McDonald's for lunch. We had McNuggets and fries!  Yum!  We sat outside for a while and then we came in to watch The Butler.  Scout and I fell asleep and that is how we get to our contentment pictures.

BOL!  See my foot doing a photobomb.

After the movie, Mama and I took a nice long walk without Scout. Scout used her "senior card" and stayed laying on her back on the couch.  Yep, it has been a good day.

What Is Happening In Our Kitchen This Week

Mama sometimes mentions what new gizmo she has bought or the new recipes she has tried, so maybe I will try to include that once a week.  I don't know.  Our blog pretty much flies by the seat of its' pants as they say.  We will give it a try and see what happens.

Mama uses an electric skillet daily.  She seems to have to replace them about twice a year.  The non-stick stops working and they start not to heat evenly.  She decided to try a different type of skillet this time since she doesn't think she should have to replace them so often. She is hoping that this one lasts longer.

The is the Presto Foldaway skillet. Why is it different?  Well the cooking area is made of ceramic.  It is non-stick.  It is heavier than the other skillets she has bought and seems to be made well.  The main selling point of this skillet is that it comes apart for storage.  Mama didn't care about that though. She liked the ceramic cooking surface.

Just the base.

The base stored inside the skillet.

The entire skillet

Mama really likes the way the skillet heats and so far nothing is sticking.  The skillet has a pour spout that can be used to hold a spoon with the lid still on.  Mama isn't really thrilled with having to take the base off to wash the skillet, but it isn't hard to do.

She purchased it at Target.

The next thing that has Mama excited is that she finally found egg rings at a reasonable price...$3.99 for two.  She kept seeing them for $15 and she said she was not paying that much.  She found them at Bed, Bath and Beyond, if you are interested.

Why does she want a round fried egg?

This is the reason.  She likes to make sausage, egg and cheese muffin sandwiches and she was aggravated with her eggs not being round.  Yes, she really has very few problems.  BOL!

Contentment

A  lady saw me lounging outside and said "that is pure contentment".  What do you think?

Have you tried these?

The folks really like them.  When Dad is away, Mama divides the mix into thirds and just fixes a portion when she wants it.  We haven't been allowed to try them, but they smell good.  Mama used to make her own but she said the seasoning for the butter is what makes them really special.

Scout Prefers A Naked Head

 

Why is Scout wearing a hat?  Mama thinks the sun hurts her eyes.  The vet said her eyes are fine.

Why is it a Smurf hat?  Because it was on clearance.  BOL!

Does Scout like it?  Nope, she rolled in the dirt with it. She was hoping to hit a pile of doggy doo doo, but she missed.

Toys R Us Is Not Just For Kids

About  a week ago, "Aunt Lisa" bought her greyhounds a Toys R Us educational toy designed for dogs.  Mama had seen it at Petsmart but didn't think we would like it.  We have been quite bored though, so Mama decided to give it a try.

The object is to get the treats out of the compartment.

 

Scout says it is "Easy Peasy"!

Yep, pretty easy.

You just have to lift up the lid.  I usually use my nose, but the mouth works, too.

 

I'm smarter than I look.  BOL!

It can be adjusted to make it harder.  I think we are ready for that level.
