New Site
Thanks to Paul's API system, I can pull in content from my journal here directly to my site. For those of you who have other web domains and a willingness to muck around with some PHP, it's a great way to spruce up your site.

The Freshmaker
In other news, we have our sailboat set up in our slip. We had a very nice sail out past the breakwall on Sunday night with some good friends, and another last night, just taking it out for a spin with the jib sail.
Abby gets nervous walking on the docks, but seems very much at ease when on the boat. She has a tendancy to climb up in my lap while I'm at the tiller.

Dog food
Anyway, my father-in-law has subscribed me to Mother Earth News for a few years now, and this month's edition includes an article on organic pet foods. Considering that my dog has been known to eat sticks, grass, dead (?) creatures and her own vomit, worrying about the quality of her diet shouldn't be an issue. However, adding some "healthier" brands of food into her meals, along with all the exercise she gets, should insure that she'll be healthy and happy for a long time.
Here are links from the article to hippie dog foods.
Canidae
Natura Pet
Halo Pets
Nature's Variety
Newman's Own
Petguard
Pet Promise
Solid Gold
OMH Pet
And here's a recipe for a regular meal, also from the magazine:
3 cups cooked oatmeal or cream of wheat
2 cups cooked ground beef
2 tbsp plain yogurt
1 small apple, chopped or sliced into small pieces. Mix and serve at room temp.
(I would cut this in half for my dog to see how she handles it; the vet recommended for her size, she should eat about 3-3/12 cups a day.)
And a link to my recipe for treats
And so my dog isn't the only thing I write about tonight, go Sabres.

Perfect week
I'll be posting the best of our Ireland pictures to my flickr account as soon as we unpack our bags, send off the thank you notes, and reunite with the puppy.

Digital Cameras
Has anyone seen any local deals on one? We need to get an SD card too - I'm thinking a 256 MB or 512 MB, whatever has a better rebate. I don't have a ton of cash to throw at this, and I've resigned myself to spending about $200, including the SD card.
I will not buy another HP camera.
Last year we had to buy a digital camcorder as a gift (long story), and that worked out really well. I'm hoping the same thing happens this time. If I had more time I would have researched, and compared, and I do feel silly. But as Jack Bauer (WIKIPEDIA - Jack Bauer) would say, "we're running out of time." Any thoughts on where I should go to blindly hand over my credit card are appreciated.

Sugar Plum
But . . .
there is something quite powerful about buying an overpriced lipstick (sugar plum) and eyeshadow
Many thanks to my shopping buddy M for her dedicated research and worthy advice.

Kara's Ro Ro Rollups
Ingredients
1/4 jar roasted red peppers
deli-sliced roast beef
thin sliced provolone cheese
tortilla shells / wraps, go for a fun flavor like spinach or sun-dried tomato
spinach, chopped roughly
Tools
knife
toothpicks
Steps
Dice the roasted red peppers and allow them to drain on a paper towel.
Lay the tortilla shells flat on a plate. Layer the cheese, then the spinach (or other leafy green), then the roasted red peppers, then the roast beef.
Roll tightly from one end, leaving the seam side down.
Place 4-5 toothpicks in the roll.
Slice on an angle.
Trim the ends where no filling is present.
Bring the plate to the table.
That's it. If you think it would be too dry for your tastes, a thin layer of spiced up mayo (try paprika) or a small bowl of vinaigrette dressing for dipping would help.
Mostly I just love the name I came up with for this. ROast beef. ROasted Red Peppers. Outstanding.
