@3mg Meniere Another wonderful thing happened today - Geordi is now CH Bijou Luisant Kontinuing Mission, CA, TKN, CGC!! Yep, he won a 3 point major to finish (he needed 3 points)!!! Sincere thanks to his breeder for showing him to all his points. She gets special recognition for finishing a dog in Bred by Exhibitor classes. Today he won Best Bred by in breed and went on to win a Bred by Exhibitor Herding Group 3!! Shows don't always offer Bred by groups, and since he is no longer in the regular classes with earning his championship, this was his last hurrah in Bred by. It was a special day for both his breeder and me. I can show him now!
As we were leaving the show site it started pouring rain, so the timing was perfect!
professional pics to come....
Another fun thought - the man who judged the Bred by Exhibitor Herding Group is a vaper! We went to watch his judging "style" before the group and before the class started he was vaping away! He put his mod away while judging and I didn't get a chance to share vaping kudos, but I gained respect for the man right there. He was very kind with the dogs and I did compliment him on that. Kind judges don't get enough recognition and I always try to seek them out and thank them. Even if they are not judging my dog.
Good morning!! Rained all day yesterday, and doesn't look too good for today, either! Actually, I like it! Relaxing, feeling cozy with my java.
Isn't it nice when you see another vaper. I've seen a few but the opportunity to talk shop was not there......I have raised a mod in salute to another vaper and they have responded the same.
Actually, after the dinner I made him last night he thinks he's being rewarded! I'm not worried though. His turn will be coming...
The dinner was Bacon, Cream Cheese, Cheddar Chicken. Wow! So easy and delicious! I made the bacon ahead of time so that helped with the prep. Put 2 pounded boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the pan that you cooked the bacon in (after pouring off most of the bacon grease). Sprinkle on a little salt and pepper. Dot some sliced cream cheese over the chicken, sprinkle on the crumbled bacon and top it all with about a cup of grated cheddar cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. If you like the cheese crispy on top you can stick it under the broiler for a minute or 2 or I just sprinkled some paprika on it. DELICIOUS! Will definitely be making this again.
Meanwhile, the eye has been coming along just fine except today it's bothering me. Might just be the dry eye problem. I can still feel the stitch in there somewhat, but that's going away. The vision is good, but things look whiter to me. Guess I'm used to seeing the world in sepia. The procedure itself is much easier than I thought, it's just a pain remembering to do all these drops! I'm glad I only have 2 eyes.

CONGRATULATIONS GEORDI!!! MAMA'S SO PROUD AND WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!
That sounds like our kind of food......will be making it in the next couple of days as I have chicken soup left but will freeze the rest of it, and I have pork chops defrosted for tonight.
Things do seem brighter and more sharp. That feeling of something in the eye is what I felt also, but that dissipates as time goes on. Actually, the vision actually gets more concise and clearer as time goes by, too!
I didn't like the drop routine either, but knew it was temporary and that helped......
BTW, how was that chicken soup you made in the Instant Pot? I was tempted awhile back getting one, but I have so much cookware, that I'd be pressed for space! As it is now, we use our walk in pantry for storage.......I couldn't reconcile that with 'the man'....

Thanks. Nice to know that what's happening with my eye is normal and will improve from here. Right now I just want to close my eyes. Doesn't help that it's a cold damp day outside. I just want to curl up and take a nap!
The soup was delicious! The only problem was, when the soup is done you dump in the noodles, wait for it to come up to pressure and cook for a few more minutes. I didn't have the release valve closed properly so steam was escaping the whole time. The noodles absorbed some broth and more broth was lost with the steam so there wasn't as much broth left as I would have liked. Oh well, first attempts are good for learning. I'd definitely do it again. Nice to know you can have some lovely soup made in such a short time. My son used his Instant Pot to make potato soup and also French Onion soup and he was very pleased. I keep the pot in it's box out in Mike's workshop because there's no room in the kitchen. That's ok because it's not like I'm using it all that often.
@Bea-FL Was it you who posted the suet recipe for your birds? I need it and can't find it. This pre-packaged stuff is crumbly so the squirrels can dig out big chunks and take off with it. I need something softer. The birds seem to love it, but so do the squirrels and that's ok, sort-of. I have a log hanging from a chain with holes drilled into it to hold the suet. Those squirrels are always on it so Mike stapled a plastic plate on the bottom. It's helped some, but they still sometimes manage to leap up onto it. I'd like to have more food on hand to keep the holes filled.
@Janet H I've been looking at the Instant Pot to use as slowooket, pressure cooker and yogurt maker. As vegetarians we eat a lot of beans and I wore out a pressure cooker cooking them. I've also been making grerk yogurt for many years and my yogurt maker is getting old. My slow cooker still works great but it's at least 30 years old and I use it a lot. So I'm thinking one of these days I may need three new appliances.
Tell me how you like it please.
EDIT: you must have been posting at the same time as me cause I just saw it. Lol

Here you go.
All season suet
2 cups each oats and cornmeal
1 cup each PB, flour, shortening
Melt the PB and shortening and mix with the rest and freeze.
I use those blue plastic containers in which mushrooms come at the grocery store. One of those makes a suet cake the right size for the suet feeder.
