New Beds and Food

Hi everyone....guess what!  Janet strong armed Phil into buying us new doggie beds.  They are so comfy and smell all pretty with cedar.  We love them! Phil grumbled and complained was delighted to buy them for us and congratulated Janet on such a good decision - yeah, right!  The old ones have already gone to the dump, so we are secure in our ownership of the new ones.

Well, sometimes the people version is just as comfy.

Look what Janet made this week - Phil's friend Peter brought over some sour cherries from a tree in their yard, so Janet made Cherry Pie.  Janet said she had never made cherry pie before.  It looks all nice and juicy, but her lattice is a little crooked.

Then, they invited Lolo and Stevie and Frank for dinner on Monday.  Frank is down in the dumps because Shirley went back to China.   He was going to spend the evening ironing, but Phil is so persuasive and charming he talked him out of it. Good thing - surely (get it??) a home cooked meal trumps ironing!   For an appetizer, Janet made some guacamole that they served with Juanita chips and some salsa Janet made last fall.  For dinner they had Home Made Baked Beans, BBQ Prime Rib and Layered Salad.  Dessert - Miss Lazy Pants Newest Go To Dessert - Rhubarb Cheesecake.

Janet made some Bar-B-Que Sauce

The beans after they baked in the oven for more than six hours.

Here is Lolo, looking at Meg's wedding gift cookbook.  She didn't think she should look at it, but Janet insisted, saying "Goodness Gracious, Meg won't mind!"  Hah!  Who actually thinks Janet says "goodness gracious"!

When our Aunt T was here, she spent a lot of time helping Janet prepare dinners.  She was shocked to find out Janet didn't have a salad spinner.

Now she does!  Aunt T bought Janet this cool salad spinner with a pretty lime green lid.  Janet has already used it three times and questions why she didn't already own one!

This is the salad spinner Janet sometimes uses at work.  It' really, really big.

Here is a brand new super size mayo at Janet's work with margarine behind it.  They usually make about 320 sandwiches on Thursdays.
