The Beast is always open to experimenting with his cooking and that's what he did yesterday. He made a kind of vegetable soup that was VERY different. It was edible but not great. It had a kind of cream sauce instead of a broth. It was, unfortunately, not a hit with me. I told him it lacked something. I should have said it lacked taste.....LOL. It could have been tasty with a bit of beef and beef broth added to it.
He went to bed early (around 8:30pm) but Baron woke him around 11pm to go out. Thankfully, Baron didn't want to play in the snow. So he went out and came back in shortly. He headed right for his bed and plopped down. I swear he was asleep within two minutes. He has this little snore sound he makes when he's asleep that is kind of cute. Seems like he can do that at the drop of a hat. He's almost 8 years old now and that's old for a Doberman. I guess it's why he sleeps more these days.
The Beast managed to make Baron's chicken without it stinking up the house. He used a bit of chicken broth instead of the water he usually adds. I told him to save the broth for me so I could use it when I make Baron's rice. I think he would like it that way. I can also add a bit of it to the veggies when I nuke them. Since I will be doing that while the Beast goes to his aunt's house in NC, I figure I will try to make his meals interesting at least. He will be missing his *man*.
I'm looking forward to the Beast being gone. I feel free and able to relax more. There's no coming into my computer room to tell me the latest news about Isis or his complaints about Congress and the bills they are passing. I read the news online. I don't really enjoy his comments because they are so dumb at times. All his news comes from the Fox channels, so figure it out for yourselves if you've ever watched any of it.
We had a lot of the snow melt. Not nearly enough but it works. I wouldn't drive in it right now because it's cold enough outside to turn a lot of it into ice. But it is going to be in the 40's again tomorrow and that may just do it and it will be gone. There's no school again for Chewlee and the Princess must be going nuts with that. She doesn't have her *alone* time with Gunner. But at least Gunner loves his sister and she has come to love him, too. It's sweet. I may ask the Princess if I can keep Chewlee overnight on Saturday after the Beast leaves. He's also been driving me nuts with his pictures of the birds that have been feeding at our bird feeders. Some of them I have never seen before. Very strange colorings. He has to show them all to me even if many of them are alike.
It's really funny how the birds line up on the rail of the deck to eat. It's like they are taking turns and they get mad if one of them takes too long and they will chase them off. They are really mean to each other when it comes to feeding. I put some bread out for them and that went quickly. The cardinal that comes here to feed kept the little birds away while he gorged himself with the bread. He was VERY mean. He was also very skittish and if we came too close to the door, he would fly away. It made it hard for the Beast to take his picture but he finally got a couple shots of him.
I told the Beast I wanted a couple of the pictures to send to my sisters but I really want them to post here on my blog. He says he will give me them either tomorrow or when he gets back from NC. It does show the snow even though the birds knocked some of it off landing and taking off again. He has one with about 5 birds lined up, which I think is cute. I will share them when he gives me them.
Love you all. Hope you have a wonderful Friday and a fantastic weekend. Be safe. Stay warm and dry. ***Hugs***
