Tonight was meal prepping time for the pups, I try to mix things up a little bit so it doesn't get super boring.. the special ingredient for this meal was butternut squash and it seemed to be well received. I blame the decline of my real cooking skill to making too much dog food!
There are a few white and black clouds floating around my feet impatiently waiting for their meal. I read somewhere that little pets have hopes and dreams, I guess providing a warm meal and a little petting on a cold winter night count as part of that!
I've been reading blogs featuring simple and easy cookie recipes and as a result I was dying to try my hands at it. After all, it's not the holidays without a little baking. I've never made cookies ever and being pretty oblivious to things that don't interest me, I never even knew what a cookie dough was suppose to look like.
The instruction was a little confusing and seem to be missing critical information... I guess what was missing was my common sense, but I somehow made it work!
Right in the middle of all this cooking and baking, my neighborhood annual holiday hayride drove by my house, I made a real quick run outside in order to catch the sight of it. I'm not sure if this is a normal occurrence in other parts of the world and was quite startled the first year when I moved into my house, but it's essentially a neighbor's truck that's decorated with hay and Christmas lights complete with real kids and a Santa Claus, and people get together to have a potluck and then go through the neighborhood singing Christmas carols. I've yet to befriend this neighbor in order to participate but it's quite a magical experience to see this one car floating parade with beautiful lights and music.
