Oops!! I "liked" my own thread! Lol! No problem ... life keeps us so busy. Glad you were able to stop in and sit down for a few minutes at the cyber dinner table. B-) Oh my ... glad your handsome kitty is doing better. Is that him in your avatar pic? I agree homemade meals for our fur babies keeps them living longer and gives them a variety so they aren’t tired of the same old dry nuggets and/or can food. My dog also loves munching on lettuce, carrots, apples, watermelon, pineapple and blueberries. Yep, I agree the better quality food is expensive but in the long run ... sooo worth it ... only the best for our fur babies. :whistle: Wow that marinated coconut milk pork loin dish sounds sooo delicious and with the fried rice. Yum! Its great that you will have leftovers to enjoy. I will have to try that some time ... I love coconut milk. Yes; the avatar pick is my cat. One of my friends cooks salmon, for her dog, along with other meats. She gives him special dry food and then human food on top. That dog is very healthy! It sounds like your dog is very healthy too; and lucky to have a mom who takes good care of him! Oh sorry for the mix up. Thanks for explaining. Cool how he loved the homemade chicken soup and was living on that until got well to live a little longer. You gave him the best quality of life and I love how the Lord answered prayers. Yep, my puppy went for his check up 4 weeks ago and is healthy as can be. Speaking about chicken soup ... that’s on the menu tonight ... not homemade though, wish it was ... instead its Campbells so that means I will be adding more noodles. Also will have a garden salad and some cherries for dessert. Lazy day ... no breakfast ... late lunch was Marie Callender’s Country Fried Chicken, Mash Potatoes with Gravy and Corn. Not bad for being a frozen dinner and only $2.00 on sale. I’m skipping dinner. Speaking of mashed potatoes, try topping them with mixture of sauteed baby bella mushrooms & sliced onions ( all organic of course), and a couple squirts of Braggs Amino Acid ( best salt seasoning ever ). Deliciosso !!!! Ruth, Where do you get the Bragg’s Amino Acid - at a local grocery store or on-line? I love the Bragg’s products. I have the Apple Cider Vinegar. Everyone needs this in their homes because it cures so many ailments including if you get a stomach virus - quick healing with a little bit in with some water. I sometimes add a little cran-grape juice .. it disguises the vinegar taste. Making homemade pizza with a glass of root beer soda. I get the dough at a local grocery store ... shipped in from a Boston pizzeria. Good quality dough. Pizza dough made with root beer? Hmmm !? (Just kidding) :mdrmdr: I guess I should have worded that better. Hey ... when I order the spare ribs at Chilis ... they ask what kind of BBQ sauce ... I always order the one that contains soda (I can’t remember if its Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke) it is out of this world good ... the flavoring on the ribs taste both Sweet and Smokey. Can't wait to have dinner with you guys! Let's face it, with eating being a chore, might as well eat something that brings us pleasure and makes my stomach smile! Been craving waffles, pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, Texas toast and thick bacon. Even though I rarely eat breakfast, the craving comes on me once in a while. Funny, wonder why we crave the foods that we do even even while not pregnant. Tee, hee, hee TR Have you’ve tried waffles with ice cream instead of maple syrup? That’s the only way I can eat waffles. It tastes like an ice cream sandwich. This is how they serve it on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights (Jersey Shore). And Orange Julius’ drinks yum! And Caramel apples with nuts on top or Jelly apples (aka the red color candy apples with coconut on top). Salt Water Taffy, Fudge and other chocolates, and Caramel popcorn :popcorn I expect to see all these treats served in heaven and on the restored earth ... at the amusement parks, water parks, etc. Its going to be fun! B-) I'm with ya. One exception, no coconut. Being born in Canada, I need my maple syrup! Hope your right about all the treats in Heaven. And if we have heavenly treats that just might blow anything we've had here outta the water that would be awesome! I'm disappointed Geri, you didn't mention the toffee, white chocolate or cotton candy! I do appreciate your epicurian palate however! Don't forget the honey and grasshoppers though on of Johnnies's faves. One of my mom's favorite dishes was braised ribs and meat simmered in a soy sauce and brown sugar dish, on a bed of white rice! Yum. TR No coconut? So does this mean you’re not a fan of German Chocolate cake? Or Almond Joy/Mounds candy bars? I hear you about the real maple syrup ... hands down better than the fake stuff the grocery stores sell. I’m not familiar with toffee ... perhaps because it sounds to close to coffee. White chocolate is ok ... prefer the milk or dark chocolate better. Oh yeah completely forgot about cotton candy! Also, I will let you in on a secret ... I can eat this one fish all day and I believe its the only fish that will be on the banquet table .... a side dish of ... Swedish Fish!!! 😉 Yum! Hey, perhaps we can persuade John the Baptist to forfeit the grasshoppers and honey for a plateful of sweet and soar gummy worms? I think he would be sooo delighted with the worms! B-) Your mom’s braised ribs and rice dish sounds soooo good! I hope there are cooking and baking contests so we can judge and sample these meals and desserts! :whistle: Indeed I have been called particular in what I enjoy eating and what I might refuse to eat. This also holds true with desserts. As a child growing up I preferred caramel, white chocolate and butterscotch over chocolate. Though I greatly enjoy chocolate today, I'm not a fan of dark chocolate. It has to be milk chocolate! Don't like brownies or chocolate cake. Prefer white or spice cake. Love cinnamon, hate licorice.

He is not the diabetic. Unfortunately, the diabetic passed away in September. His blood glucose was too high for too long, no matter what I did; or the good food he ate. He started looking really bad about 2 1/2 years ago and lost a lot of weight. I started making fresh chicken in the crock pot every week and bone broth. He never liked human food before, but he inhaled this chicken with homemade chicken broth. For about four months he couldn't get enough of it and loved drinking the bone broth several times a week. Between praying over him EVERY DAY and him eating healthy fresh chicken AND the bone broth; he came back to life! The Vet said it wasn't possible for him to gain his weight back with his blood glucose numbers in the 400's; BUT, he DID gain his weight back and his fur was soft and shinny again. He looked healthy and acted healthy until the day his body just said, "enough". Sorry for rambling; the topic is still so near and dear to my heart.
