LEAD DOG'S BREAKFAST SOUP

Lead Dog at CINCO Meet & Greet

It's 8:54 a.m. and Patrick and Junior are in bed. It's 2.5 degrees out, brrr!!!!

I put up our little artificial Christmas Tree yesterday, and all the other decorations that Bitch-Woman didn't obscond with. Put it up on the upstairs landing, since we do most of our living up here during the winter. Had to go into the attic to get the Xmas stuff, and found one of the dormer windows completely blown open, so had to re-insert it. Also found dead consumed birds and a pile of huge sized dung - -cat or raccoon size, so..???

The Dakota Pickup does GREAT in 4 wheel low negotiating up and down the lane. Juniors Grand Am is parked down by the mail box and I just maneuver around it.Half the battle is having a vehicle high enough off the ground that you don't pack the snow under you.

I see their is a gallon jug of water on the floor, and a jar of olives here on the computer desk, so Junior must have had some weird cravings last night. Maybe he's pregnant?

Here is the recipe for the home made fresh veggie soup that I make for breakfast in the winter:

In a sauce pan, add about 2/3 cup of distilled water, or so, season to taste, turn heat up high..I use the flavor packates out of Marachan noodle soup and lemon pepper seasoning . While it's coming to a boil , add the herbs: Dried Garlic, Orgeno, parsley, etc. Then add the fresh ingredients in this order: chopped onions, one-half chopped tomato, chopped carrots, chopped brockley or cauliflower, canned or fresh mushrooms, two olives, whatever else you like and last, spinich leaves. Bring to boil for about a minute, let stand a minute or so, and eat. Don't overcook the stuff. This is basically the same as my summer breakfast salad, except for the cheese and croutons and salad dressing. ;) The whole operation takes about ten minutes max and is very nutrious!! A good way to add a litttle flavor to the soup is to add a half chopped up hot dog or sal0mie slice... heh, heh!

EARTHDOG PATRICK Update: The wee doggy's head scar is healing very nicely.
