It's closed up pretty good. At this point, I'm pretty confident that he's not close to the house.5 days without cigarettes and 3 without Bert.
Still no sign of the old boy, though I've made calls to the pound, talked to neighbors and spent hours searching.
The nicotine patches are keeping people I encounter safe from harm and me safe from further harming myself.
I'm still coughing and gagging and the dogs definitely need a bath, (sense of smell is acute) but so far, so good.
I really want a cigar and have some REALLY good ones, but I do believe I'll wait a while before I take that chance.
So sorry Ernie.
Did you think to look for him in the crawl space under the house?

The batch I made yesterday is the main ingredient for oven BBQ ribs, which I plan on presenting next week when it's my turn to cook for the geezers. Stuff like this reduction improve if left to "age" a few days. I've also made home-made ketchup and Worstercheshire sauce to add to the recipe.Whatcha gonna do with it?
There are times when cats lack the wisdom to leave well enough alone...to their great chagrin.I've mentioned it before, the wife has popcorn in the evening and usually only eats about a quarter of it, in the moring we toss it in the back yard. All sorts of birds come and eat it but there's one pigeon in particular who is always waiting before anyone else gets there, he goes through and finds all the unpopped kernels first. He's also become fairly unafraid, he'll walk the 3' high metal fence separating the pool from the grassy yard are right in front of the cats and land in the yard looking for food just a few feet from the cats. He'll walk the fence up to within a foot of me begging for food. Fearless little shit.....
One of the urban legends up here is the froo-froo dog travelling with its owners in a motor home and the dog gets snatched at a rest stop. It's not as much a legend as people would think. Every spring I worry about my new kids because there is a nesting pair of eagle nearby. Goat kid is just about right to snatch and take home to the eaglets for lunch. Cats and small dogs are not spared the attentions of out larger raptors, either. Sad to day, Nature is a be-atch sometimes.lol. I hope that cat being hauled off by the eagle got away safe! When I had chickens, my cat thought she would strut her stuff. Chickens are usually chicken....not these ladies. They surrounded her and began to peck at her. Cat learned real fast to leave the hens alone.
I've been missing bread, lemme tell ya. And pasta. I'll check out the link.I just finished my first batch of spelt flour crackers, with flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds. They're really tasty if a little chewy. Part of my long term diet changes include using "ancient" grains instead of modern, commercially produced wheat. Of course, that means I'll be making lots of my own baked goods, since "ancient" grains haven't really caught on with the mainstream diner.
Here's a pretty good article that describes some of the differences between spelt and modern wheat:

Spelt isn't the only available option, either.Read it. Interesting.
Actually, lots of them are simply still grown in places where they've been grown for many generations who never heard of the concept of selective breeding.I've always wondered if ancient grains are taken from archeologically sites.........I just finished my first batch of spelt flour crackers, with flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds.
