Beef Souvlaki in flatbread with mixed greens, feta, and home made tzatziki sauce. I've thought about making my own pita, and have seen what looked like great and simpel recipes for it, but haven't gotten there yet. I used onion powder with the beef,...

Though I have a couple of Chinese food cook books, when I do stir fry, I typically just play it by ear. A few years ago, that would not have been the case; I don't know why it was post-college before I really knew how to cook. I did, however, ben...

Oh college. There are times I really miss college. Strangely, some of the things I miss have to do with the cafeteria (which at my alma mater was "The Commons"). Everybody seems to have vehement complaints about the various cafeterias they've encount...

When I was little, I loved pasta. LOVED it. When we went to restaurants, I wanted spaghetti with butter on it. Sometimes cheese, but only American. I graduated to cheddar eventually. At home, I loved boxed macaroni and cheese. In fact, it's one of th...

I used to feed Elka Taste of the Wild. When the voluntary recall happened back in May, though, I jumped ship for the time being. My most recently purchased bag of food had fallen in the recall, and I was just squidged out, frankly. Well, as it turns...

So, waaaaay back in October, I won a giveaway from CindyLu's Muse for a 16 oz bottle of Nature's Logic Sardine Oil. I thought "Awesome!" because we give Elka olive oil or coconut oil on her kibble about once a day, especially in the...

This happens to me every year, perhaps because of National Novel Writing Month, but Thanksgiving has snuck right up on me! Last year I posted about this lovely holiday play set that Target had. I don't think Target has brought it back, unfortuna...

After all of the problems with Chicken Jerky that's made in China, I was ready to say that no chicken jerky in the world could possibly be safe. Then I got an email from a representative at Chewy.com, asking me if I'd like to do a review of B...

Like many people, I took advantage of the Free Lickety Stick promotion that was on Facebook a couple of months back. I received mine in the mail about two weeks back, but didn't really give it to Elka much. I think I was keeping it in mind as a t...

Sometimes I get a little classy. Pork tenderloin wrapped with prosciutto, served with brown rice and broccoli. All of it Elka-friendly....but I confess, I didn't share much. Some of the broccoli!

Sigh. So, after I wrote A small rant the other day, I didn't anticipate having another such story to share with y'all. This story is a bit more uplifting, anyway. Read more »...

So, as it turns out, Elka likes watermelon. I do too, really, as one might expect. But when the watermelon came out, Elka was very, very interested. And insistent. And duped one of our friends into holding it for her!

Welcome to the world of tomorrow, right guys? Elka likes bananas just as much as I do. I once listened to a story (or part of one) on NPR about banana republics in Central America. Not the overpriced clothing store, but areas of land controlle...

It occurs to me once in awhile how very odd some things are. Things that "dog people" think are normal, and that non dog people look at askance. For instance: the dried up gross things that we give our dogs to eat. Pig ears. Bully sticks.
