I went back out in the dark, but no dog. I just have to hope he’s okay. Gosh, I hope he doesn’t play with another porcupine.

@BullChick - any luck finding your dog?

@KDOGG331 - I thought of another meal idea. Get out that Instant Pot you mentioned! It makes hard boiled eggs sooooo easy! Place the trivet in the pot, put 1 cup of water in the pot and put 6 washed eggs on the trivet, put the seal in the lid and put the lid on set to seal. Cook the eggs 4-5 minutes on manual and then turn off the instant pot and let it set for 5 minutes before releasing pressure. After pressure is released, take the eggs out and put them in an ice bath until they are completely cool and peel easily. Then you have hard boiled eggs for a snack, egg salad sandwiches (or pitas), or you can mak little sliders with the cooked whites as "buns".

ETA: Added to add water before cooking.

Were you able to find him?

I drank one glass of wine last night. But it didn’t sit well or maybe it was something I ate but my stomach hurt all night, like stomachache type pain.

Woke up fine and now that I ate some cereal my stomachache is back to how it was yesterday. Maybe I need to just spend the rest of the day eating minimal food to see if it’s something else.

My head and energy levels and everything are normal. My stomach is just not happy

You do need a bit of water for this, right? I use a steamer basket and cook six minutes (that seems to work best for me at a mile high), but I have a cup or so of water in. Actually I don't think mine will even stay on if there's no water.

Yes! Totally forgot to mention the water. I'll go back and edit to add. Thanks!

Some kinds of wine have affected me that way... also given me a headache having taken no more than ~4oz --I wonder whether it might be sulfite levels?

I’m not too familiar with all that but maybe

My husband just told me he opened that bottle a week or two ago I usually drink one bottle in two days, max of 3. So maybe it being opened so long ago wasn’t good?? Who knows.

For now I will force myself to walk a lot today and hopefully anything bad I may have ingested will be removed.

Torture is_____
Torture is going to the door at 2 and 3 to check for the dog one last time, and hearing him barking and whining in the woods. You can’t see him, but he’s in there.
I don’t know exactly how he got back, but after looking around six, he appeared on the porch about fifteen minutes later.

I just found that certain brands gave me an almost instant headache. I'm just speculating about the tummy ache, but some peeps are sensitive to sulfites--they're poisons in tiny amounts used to halt fermentation after all--stands to reason they'll bother some folks. My own did not cause me any sickness, but I never sulfited it. You risk blowing off a cork or breaking a bottle if you don't, but I mostly fermented it out anyway, and if it does get a "little" fizzy, that's nice, I think. I don't care for sugary wines. If I wanted them sweeter I'd just mix with a splash of juice before drinking them.

Depending on the alcohol content of your wine, I suppose it *could* spoil and cause a tummyache if left too long. If it's too low (below 10%? Don't remember for sure.), the alcohol can't preserve it.

This is a great idea, thanks!! I’m not really a huge hardboiled egg fan though tbh. and although I love chicken salad, tuna salad, potato salad, etc., egg salad is kind of to me but maybe I could try one of the other things. Or maybe I would like them this way haha
