Big Food Day!

Every now and again at Janet's "work" (Janet actually does work, she just doesn't get paid for it which is why we use "finger quotes"!) they have special meals.  This past Thursday was the Mother of all special meals!  The most fabulous local moving company, Two Burley Men hosted a food truck extravaganza in the courtyard.  Two Burley Men have grown from a very small company to a huge local success and are very community minded.  Janet thinks everyone on a local level should use them when they need to move as they are also good value for the money.
Janet initially thought Burley meant brawny and strong, but it turns out it is their last name.



Janet made Cobb Salad with chicken.
I've had an upset tummy for a few days, so now we are eating the special "sick doggie meals".  Sick as I am, I can barely manage to inhale the special meal.  A bigger question is how do I manage this thin facade of illness to get the special meal for a few more days?   Cooked rice, cooked ground beef and cottage cheese - it's so yummy!
I am quite afraid of the vacuum as was Rockers, but Noodles doesn't seem to mind.  Janet was putting the hose away right over her whole body and she never flinched!
And look else the people had for dinner:
This was a learning curve for Janet.  She has what is probably the world's most fabulous slow cooker, made by All Clad which is underused.  It was a gift from two of her children.  She has made a decision to make more use of it.  First up was cooking back ribs in the slow cooker with broth until they were tender and then finishing them off on the BBQ, thus cutting down on the heat the oven throws.  All was well, but Janet let them cook too long in the slow cooker.  Better luck next time, Sister!
I was as busy as could be, chewing up some papers:
Do you think these might be important receipts?  Don't you think it's cute how I hold them in my paws?

Talk to ya' later!
