Repost: Daisy Is a Pig

The tab key isn’t working on the keyboard today. This is very annoying.

I have a dentist appointment today and I’m afraid. I haven’t been to the dentist for a while. I don’t want to face the chastisement.

Anyway, I had made a salad for lunch. Just as I sat down to eat it, my sister needed me to move my car so she could get out of the driveway. I put the bowl in the middle of the table, thinking that the dog wouldn’t be able to get to it. As I re-entered the house, what should I hear but the clang of a fork against a bowl. The dog had hoisted her front paws onto the side of the table, nosed the bowl closer to her mouth and inhaled my salad. What a bitch (ha ha literally!).

I sent her outside for a while and yelled “bad dog” at her every so often. She is now allowed back into the house but is hiding from me because I’m still admonishing her every time she looks at me.

It’s funny to see her ears go back on her head and her little puppydog frown.

My mom called and I told her of the incident. She told me not to go too hard on her. I said she needs to be punished to learn. Daisy is a spoilt little girl. I fear what lavish-ment my mother will bestow on future (like, way future) grandchildren. Ugh.

Here’s what was in my salad:

• romaine greens
• sauteed summer squash and zuccini leftover from yeterday
• a smidge of bleu cheese dressing
• a tbs of balsmic vinegar

The three bites I had were good.

Here is the recipe for the zuccini and summer squash

• heat one tsp of evoo
• sautee half-moon slices of one summer squash for one minute
• add the half moon slices of one zuccini (squash takes a little longer than zuccini to cook)
• add a quarter cup of Lemon V8 juice
• reduce heat to low, cover stirring once or twice, simmer for two minutes or until squashes are tender

So, for a real lunch, I heated up the rest of the squash with some shredded Italian cheese blended and wrapped it up in a oat bran and whole wheat tortilla. That was good, too.
