Chicken Marsala for dinner tonight. Well, sort of. Still deciding between rice or potatoes for the starch. Our potatoes are much more limited than our rice. Asparagus and carrots for veg.

I'm always "it" on unwanted leftovers. My mom drummed into my head since I was little that it'd be my job to eat what no one else wanted once I was the head of the household.

My hubby used to not touch leftovers at all - his entire family was the same. Meanwhile my family remembers being hungry so very little goes to waste. I've managed to change hubby's mind at least and his lunches are now leftovers (I've been complimented by his coworkers who thought he was eating restaurant takeout) but whatever he doesn't want, I'm still the one eating it.

No pork here, we don't eat it. Had Hebrew National hot dogs with Ranch Style beans (chili dogs) with grated cheese and onions. No bread for me. Someone asked if we are eating more healthfully a few pages back. DH and I always do, but there are things The Kid won't eat, so we eat "less healthy" a couple nights a week (like the chili dogs) to avoid an insurrection. Like we may have pizza occasionally.* It's working, he eats more healthy now than he used to! I guess because he knows he doesn't have to, ALL the time.

* ours has black olives, onions and green chilis on it; The Kid will eat onion on his now, which makes me happy because at least it's a veggie!

That was me who asked.

I eat pizza with no cheese, black olives, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers

Speaking of pizza we will probably get some soon because we have free papa john pizza cash

I'll eat the spaghetti hopefully there's no meat in the sauce

We always have tons of rice no matter if there's crisis or not. I really like brown rice, but a plain baked potato nothing on it is my fave.

My husband didn't like leftovers overs until we started dating. He loves my food.

Tonight I did Mrs dash Chipotle on the pork and it was raved about. Don't tell them there was no salt on their pork chops

I love to have a baked potato with the works. I do a baked potato with frozen broccoli and/or fresh spinach, diced garlic, cheese and light sour cream for an entire dinner when I'm alone/exhausted. I cook it in the microwave so it takes about 10 minutes to go from "what should I eat" to "This is delicious".

Yup, though we've still never gotten an actual German Shepherd yet (which hubby is dying to have). I keep trying, but "shepherd mix" and "Anatolian shepherd" is as close as we've gotten.

Could have fooled me!! Looks pure or almost pure to me LOL

We think it's from malamute. Lady we got her from was selling oopsie puppies from a dog that escaped off her farm and got preggo before coming back, for alarmingly cheap (like, these dogs might get picked up by some really bad people cheap) and said mom was a malamute but we never saw the mom. Honestly, we don't know, I was a teenager at the time and didn't think to check, and we don't care. We've gotten some inklings from behavior/appearance, like her "howl" is an unmistakable hound baying. But what matters is that she's great.

We've worked hard with them all. Agility is surprisingly easy to set up and train for a dog that likes moving around. We've set up agility jumps and items in our yard with bales of straw, old plywood, sticks and folding chairs. Nose work for us meant working with a friend, teaching them to follow where she went to hide. Can't do that right now - no pals allowed. I do a little competitive heeling training with The Killer sometimes. She loves it and focuses great.

It's really nice to have such joy and enthusiasm right now. It's also nice having their needs dragging me up and outdoors right now. it's always great to take a long break and go fetch with The Boy or do some trick training with all three. Then they settle down and cuddle with me at the end of the day. I don't think I could have asked for better quarantine buddies.

You’re right, definitely doesn’t matter. Mitts are amazing too!! I love mutts

All of my brother’s dogs are mixed rescues and they’re all amazing!!

And very true! I used to sometimes set up pillows and ladders and stuff for Gator LOL

And I used to play hide & seek with him too lol I’d hide and call him

I love doing it and tracking and stuff.

But there’s an official Nosework sport too now that’s based off the narcotics detection dogs that I want to try lol

And can train by yourself.

I love practicing obedience and tricks! One of my friends dogs is supposedly so hyper and can’t focus or stay or whatever but yet every time I watch her, she’s great

Love working with supposedly difficult dogs lol

And yes it is definitely nice to have a companion and reason to go outside

I used to go on long walks with Gator and even when I’m dog sitting I usually go on super long walks too, like over an hour, and even in bad weather lol cause it’s fun to me.

I love the chickens and cat but they’re not as interactive. They don’t need walks and training and interactive stuff that makes you forget everything else lol

Though I have taught the cat tricks too
