VARIOUS AND SUNDRIES

On the Atkins diet, trying anyway.
This for someone who does not like veggies.
A lot of people I know claim you can substitute Cauliflower for potato. I cannot have potatoes on this diet, of course. So I thought well I will try to make "potato" salad, which I love.
I cooked a little frozen cauliflower. I hardboiled an egg altho I think it could have stayed cooking another couple of minutes. I added two green onions and some mayo. Not much mayo. Salt. Let it cool.
You know what? It might work. I put it back in the fridge to meld the flavors and get good and chilly. I could add some green pepper too, if I had remembered to buy any.
I can see how you could use it for mashed potatoes.
I am frankly amazed. We never ate cauliflower when I was a kid and I never learned to like it. I could maybe make an exception....

Yesterday I spent a good part of the day helping my good friend Susan pick up her new Belgian sheepdog puppy at OHare airport. What a pistol!! He is really going to be fun---for Susan. His name is Zip I think. He is 12 weeks old.

This is Zip. If you do competitive obedience in the midwest, get ready, here he comes. Right there you can see he is thinking about his future OTCH title.

Got home from the airport late. The dogs had been with Dad all day, since about 9 in the morning. Apparently they had had a very busy day:

                                 Conley guarding the house.

               Conley and Cooper guarding the house. Conley is back-up.

      All the Boys except Cooper guarding the house. Nothing gets past them.

Conley exhausted after a day of guarding the house.

       Baby Zip at the Airport. We forgot he was not leash trained yet!
