…. to be using ECTO again!!
No. This was not my breakfast –

It belongs to the medium sized furry thing —>

Who has a “squeaky tail”problem + must eat yogurt with her meals to provide nasal relief to her humans.. If you catch my drift..

My breakfast was crunchy too!!
I really have a thing for rice cakes —I used to eat them all of the time when I was younger —->

- cut up cutie!!
- TJs cinna raisin brit muffins [excellent recommendation from LAUREN]+ earth balance —EXTRA YUM!!
TJs rice cakes + PB

YUMMY BUBBLES!!
This is my 4th bottle of bubbly in the past few weeks —I’ve been trying to find a fun one for the holidays + I think this is it!!
ALBERO BRUT —$7.99 @ TJs
It’s very refreshing.. very dry.. excellent nose
+ it’s ORGANIC!!

Last night I made the REAL DEAL SALSA —–>
- 1 onion
- few tomatoes
- 3 jalapenos
- 1 C water
- few dashes of crushed red pepper [ or a few chile de arbols]
- S+P
-Boil until tender
-Allow to cool for a hot minute
-Blend
-Add things to make it chunky again [diced tomato + onion photoed below]
- couple of tomatoes
- small onion

I forgot to photo it with chunks!! SO SO SO SO SO SO SO authentic + fresh + delicious —
I highly recommend adding cilantro to it!!
love love!!

I haven’t had problems with Ecto yet (knock on wood) but what happened to yours? I’m curious just in case mine freaks out and makes ME freak out
So glad you’re back!!
Haha,that’s hilarious about Penny and her yogurt. What a cutie!
You definitely have me craving rice cakes! I love those things!
HOORAY YOU’RE BACK!!!!!
Our dog has the same problem…we changed her food and shes STILL not better;wonder if yogurt will help?
yay for Ecto! I love that Penny needs to supply “nasal relief”–that cracked me up
yum to that salsa. I love cooked salsa that’s chunky with fresh/raw stuff,too. So good!
I am so glad that you are back!
I tried using ecto,because I was hearing such good things about it. However,I wasn’t able to upload pictures to my blog using it. So,I gave up.
Never heard of the yogurt trick for dogs. Might have to try it out on my pup.
Yogurt does help with digestive “issues”in people and pets! Oh my I must try that salsa…
Don’t hate me,but my dog never farts. He does burp though. The only downside to this is that we can’t blame any suspicious smells on him.
I use Mars Edit. I’m not sure why. The only problem that I have with it is that it doesn’t have an drag and drop type thing for the features. I think I read some article comparing it and Ecto and then bought the other.
I am sooooooo happy to hear that you love the Cin. Raisin Muffins. They are so hearty and sweet and delicious! I actually need to get more because my supply is depressingly low.
I love that you give Penny a little yogurt. Sammy is Obsessed with yogurt! Really,I have never seen him lick a bowl as clean as he does with yogurt.
Glad to see you back to blogging. Missed you!
Interesting,yogurt to cure “Squeaky Tail”
I might have to look into that for my furry friend.
I love rice cakes too. That salsa you made looks really good. Is it really spicy with 3 jalapeƱos? I like spice but I know there are people in my family that don’t.
LOVE pb and J on rice cakes! the crunch is outta this world!! delicious looking salsa,I love making it homemade,such a different flavor than store bought!
This post really makes me want to make a trip to Trader Joe’s!
I’m going to have to go pick up one of those big bubbly bottles at TJ’s myself..
You always make me want to drive to Washington and hit up TJ’s to stock up on delicious treats. Then I remember I have no job and can’t justify it. Damnit!
