Homemade Tamales

Book club lunch was at our house today and I tried making homemade tamales. A few weeks ago I went with some friends to a class and got some great recipes which I tried today. Shrimp tamales, chicken mushroom tamales, a dessert tamale, two great salsas, and a delicious salad! It was a feast! I am so happy to have been asked to join this book club for the food and for the friendships.

Perfect Valentine's Day Flowers

Could George have found a more perfect flower arrangement for his dog loving wife? I don't think so!

Naughty Boy!

Normally the only problem we have had with any of our foster guide dogs is that they like to get up before the sun even thinks of making an appearance.  Ace has been wonderful in that department because he will sleep as late as we sleep.  But yesterday I came home to find this in the hallway.  The boy had been busy while we were away!
I think he was sowing his last wild oats as today he started training to be a certified Guide Dog.  I have loved all our foster dogs but I'm especially attached to this big guy. It was hard to take him back, even if he did make a mess like this and chew the corners off three remote controls!  But how could you be mad at this face for long?  Does he look remorseful to you?
