Golden Friday

Sorry we've been MIA for a while. Mom has been slacking in helping us wif uploading photos. We really have to get on her case about that.

A few weeks ago we posted this picture asking if you know who's tail it is. Well, if you guessed June's tail, you are right! It is Junie's fluffy tail! Here's a big kiss from June to all who guessed it right...MMMUUUUAAAAHHHHH!
Well, nothing much to report lately. Mom told you about our new food, which we love!. Samantha wasn't too sure about it at furst but now she loves it.

We both have a little boo boo lately. I(June) have a little infection in the pee-pee area and it's a little swolen. I'm now on antibiotic(oral) and also on spray. I really really do not like the spray because it hurts. When mommy comes close wif the spray, I run away from her.
I(Samantha) have a little crystal in my urine so I'm now on a special diet until it clears. Please keep your paws/fingers crossed fur us fur a speedy recovery.

Have a wonderwoof weekend!

Hugs,
Samantha & June

Funny June

We have decided to get the girls some Holistic dog food instead of letting them eat the normal dog food. So on Sunday, we went to Petco(without the girls) and bought them a small bag of Blue Buffalo Wilderness(Duck & Sweet Potato flavor). Of course when we got home, the girls just had to sniff us all over and sniff the bag to check out what it's about. Hubby opened the bag and gave them both a handful to try. June(usually the picky one) chomped it down right away, Samantha(who usually inhales her food), on the other hand, sniff and then left without touching the food.
Then at dinner time, hubby went to feed the girls and started to scoop the new food in Samantha's bowl first(June was already waiting) then proceed to scoop into June's bowl. But at the same time June saw that Samantha's bowl was filled but not hers, right away she moved over to Samantha's bowl trying to eat from it! Now all this happen within a few seconds between scoops(from the dog food container to the bowls)! It was pretty funny seeing June did that. She's normally the picky one and when we feed them, she would only eat when she feels like it. Samantha is the one who would eat as soon as the food hits the bowl and finish before June does. But this time, June ate all her food before Samantha did! She must really loves her new food!

Can you guess who's fluffy tail is this?

You say Tomato, I say Tomahto

Do you say tomato, or do you say tomahto? Either way, this post is about, you guessed it, tomato!

Summertime means fresh tomatoes. I love fresh tomatoes! I very rarely buy tomatoes from the store and/or when they are not in season. I love eating them fresh from the garden with a little salt and pepper. I love making tomato salad with basil, mozzarella cheese. I love eating tomato sandwiches or BLTs. I love making salsa and pasta sauce....


If you love tomatoes as much as I do and if you have abundance of tomatoes from your garden, you would probably like the recipe that I found. I have made a lot of salsa this year and I've made enough pasta sauce to last us for the next 2 or more years! But I still have tons of tomatoes, what should I make next? Then it hit me! How about tomato jam? So I went on a search quest and found some tomato jam recipes. I made this recipe right away, it is so good on crackers with some cream cheese! Mmmm....


Sweet n' Spicy Tomato Jam - From White on Rice Couple

Note: I made some slight changes, will note them in red

1 lb (455 g) Tomatoes, roughly cut (some varieties may need to be peeled)
1/2 c (45 g) Golden Brown Sugar
1/2 Serrano Chili, seeded & finely diced (or whatever chili you like) I used 2 jalapenos because I like it hot!
4 whole Cloves
1″ stick Cinnamon, preferably Vietnamese Cinnamon I didn't add any cinnamon
1-2 T (15-30 ml) Red Wine Vinegar, depending on how tangy you want it I added 1/2 tablespoon more
1 1/2 T (20 ml) fresh Lime or Lemon juice, lime is our preference I didn't have any lemon/lime so I used Balsamic vinegar instead

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, then simmer over med-low heat. Stir occasionally and gently. Simmer about an hour or until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency (who’d have thought.)
2. Put tomato jam into sterilized jars. For longer storage, can in a water bath (cover with water about 1″ above jars & simmer for about 15 min.) or just store in the fridge to keep for a couple weeks.

Wordy Wednesday

Thank you for all your nice comment from last Friday's post. We are very excited about the new addition to the family and I really cannot wait for his arrival!

We have been busy, it's canning season and I have lots and lots of tomatoes! Here's the first batch of salsa I made. It's SPICY! Remember last Wednesday post? Those were roasted jalapenos that I freeze. I was going to use them in my salsa but I have since then gotten more jalapenos from the garden, so those will stay in the freezer for later consumption.

Oh, for those of you who were a little worried about my not wearing gloves, don't worry. I have learned it the hard waybefore(I wear contacts) so anything to do with hot peppers, you bet I'll be wearing gloves!
