We make cheesy potatos with ham;

Layer thinly sliced potatos, thinly sliced onions, swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese in a baking dish.  Bake on 400 til potatos are soft and cheese is melted.  Very simple but delicious! Goes wonderfuly with ham...

I was just stiring instant potatos and then somehow it jumped on my belly and now I have this 2-3 inch mass of skin that has blisters, some of which have popped, and this one 2 inch round lesion that just looks gross.  I probably should have gone to the hospital, but since I have no money I just treated it over the counter with antibiotic ointment.  Has anyone done this before?  If so what did you use?  It is painful!!!!  I bought this lidocaine stuff, but it hurts worse.  At least it is healing!!!  I am a dum dum!!!  Those potatos were out to get me darnit!!!

and yes, they do get excited, but can be calmed down relatively easily.  Both of mine are very protective, lovable, love to be snuggled with, love to play fetch, just all around good dogs.  It sounds like the owners have not trained the dogs at all.  It also sounds like they may not know what a heat is until they are into the messy part. 

Some dogs will sense when a female is getting ready to go into heat and go nuts and some don't.  I took my male Boston to my MIL about 3 weeks ago and she has a female yorkie.  He would not leave her alone for anything.  We finally just separated the two until we left.  About 2 days later, she called to let us know that she was in heat (thankfully my dog is neutered!).

I am a dog lover to the nth degree.  I love all dogs.  Or so I thought.  My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were going out of town and called and asked if I would dogsit if they brought them over.  I was hesitant because they tend to get on my nerves when I am around them (the boston terriers not my BIL and SIL).  I said I guess.  So here he comes bringing them and they arrive wide open jumping on me and all up in my face, both of them.  I have a beagle of my own who is the ultimate laziest and low key dog you will ever know.  I also have a pit bull who is the kindest gentlest giant ever.  They are both well behaved and have never acted like those dogs do.  The minute my pit bull smelled her he went and was really sniffing her back end more than a dog usually would like she was in heat or something.  So my husband said she isn't in heat is she?  My pitbull is a male.  My BIL said I don't know.  My husband said she lives in the house with you. What do you mean you don't know.  He said well she shouldn't be in heat.  So we blew it off.  Well these dogs drove me nuts.  I mean nuts.  While working at my computer one sat and kept trying to jump in my lap while I was working and would dive up and hit my arm and of course cause me to mess up.  I was furious. I was on the verge of throwing the dog outside.  But it was storming so I didn't.  Then when I went in the living room to take a break and watch TV a few minutes one jumps up in my lap of course and when I went back to work I noticed blood on my pants.  I said oh great she was in heat.  I was ticked off.  I called my BIL and no answer.  I didn't know what to do.  So I loaded them up and took them home to their house where the back door was unlocked and left them with plenty of food and water.  I will just go let them out periodically.  I will be wasting my gas but oh well.  It is about 10 mintues away.  I just had to vent about these annoying little dogs.  I would have never dreamed there was a dog that I didn't like.  I can now say there are 2 dogs I don't like.  What are your experiences with boston terriers? I think it is the fact they won't sit down and are constantly jumping in my face and on my head that makes me annoyed.

Preheat oven to 400

Place baby carrots on a cookie sheet (one with sides), drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper

Roast in hot oven until fork tender...about 30-40 minutes...yummy and easy!

Emeril says to put the eggs in the pot with the  cold water, and wait for it to boil, when it's a rolling boil, shut off the stove, and cover the pot for 13 minutes - and voila!!  Perfect hard-boiled eggs!!

*S*

sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad.  All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden.  You guys posted lots of yummy plans. 

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
In a food processor, combine the peppercorns, garlic, and cloves and puree. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a paste is formed. Using a rubber spatula, scrap the garlic paste into a small bowl.

Place the pork butt on a work surface and season all over generously with salt. Rub all over with the garlic paste. Place in an oven-safe roasting bag and close with a twist tie. Place in a large roasting pan, and cook until tender, about 5 hours.

when I wasn't paying attention.  He even put in parsnips - my favorite part. 

Good hubby.

I'm thinking of doing a goose Christmas Eve - will be a first though.  Usually do spiral hams, but I get one for the days while the kids are off instead and do the prime rib for Christmas Day and usually have shrimp cocktail as well. 

YUMMMM!

Are you browning/searing it before you do any cooking with it?  That sometimes can make a difference - even if you're going to put it in the crockpot or cook it in the oven.  Try searing it in a pan with a little bit of olive oil and then putting it in the oven or crockpot.  This gives it another layer of flavor with the carmelization on the outside, but it also helps keep the juices in.

Eye Round Roast (average size)

Sauce:

1 tbl crushed garlic (or a few cloves if you use fresh)

1/4 c veg oil

1/4 c of soy sauce

2 tbl of vinegar

1/4 c of honey (i've also used brown sugar, but that burns easy)

1 tsp of ginger

Mix the sauce and pour it over the roast.  I've also seared the roast before adding the sauce and then cook in oven around 350 or you can do this in a slow cooker.

The sauce is tasty and I think the vinegar tenderizes the meat.  I'll slice it down when it's down and add the slices back to the sauce.

Any kind of roast, but works well with eye roast.  You can pan oil quick fry it to seal in moisture, but I have cooked this without pan searing as well.

Stir together, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp ground garlic, 1/4 cup of oil, 4 tbsp vinegar, and about 1 tsp of ground ginger.

Pour over roast and cook in the crockpot.  Depending on the size, I would do high for a while, and then down to low.  About 8 hours or so.  I've made this both in the crockpot and in the oven, so time varies.
