I notice spots on Penelope's back legs on her elbow so to speak. I stopped by the vet and let him know so I got her another round of medicine and drops to put on the actual spots. She hates the medicine and I have a real problem getting her to eat it. She will hold that pill in her mouth and not swallow just to spite me! I finally got it down her tonight but tomorrow night will be another adventure. I am also putting the drops on bear chin just to make sure nothing is going on there.

I get to work again this Saturday and I hope I get to leave around 10pm again. That is kind of nice to get home and relax. I started a load of laundry tonight and have 2 more to do I am sure. I made goulash last night. I fried hamburger with a small jar of garlic, 1 orange pepper. I boiled the water and put in the pasta to cook. I finished the meat and added the two together with 1 can of tomatoes and 1 can of mushrooms. I had a separate tupperware for DH. Today I added 2 cans of tomatoes and 2 cans of mushrooms to his so that pretty much filled it up. I sent that for his lunch tonight. I brought the other batch to work and Scott and I ate it and critiqued it. I think next time I will actually add a little onion ( I know) but I am willing to put in a little and cook it until clear just for a little sweet flavor. I also want to add more pepper, tomato and mushroom to the pasta. The meat was about a pound and a half. The garlic was perfect! I know Mom had one that she put in the oven but we don't eat it the same day so I didn't see much of a point in that. It was pretty easy to put together and I am happy with the first try. Anyone have any goulash recipes?

My friend Tuppe made ceviche with cooked shrimp. I really enjoyed it without the onion and I am thinking of how to make it for us. DH doesn't like a lot of cilantro and I understand it is a main piece in the dish but I think with him less is more. The chips are the biggest downfall otherwise I don't think it is too high in calories.

I made my chicken, avocado, tomato and feta cheese dish. This time I ended up mixing everything until it was pretty mushy which is different. Last time I made a small amount for Scott & Tuppe and I to try, it was just chunks of each not smooshed together. I usually eat it cold and Scott eats it hot. I decided to bring crackers for something new. I ate some cold and some cold on a cracker with salt and pepper. I heated some up and ate it too alone and with cracker. Each part brings a whole new flavor and complexity to the dish. Overall it remains myself,  Scott and Tuppe's favorite that I make so far. I am thinking of dusting off my enchilada bake recipe if I can find it. Thanks Johanna!! Mom picked me up a slow cooker cook book on her last trip to Branson and I have just not found the time to take a look.
