We used to have a Whippet who, when curled up, looked amazing like a little doe (and 'tis not just us who thought so but perfect strangers as well and we all know that not too many strangers are perfect).
I am NOT a deer or a dear. I am a feisty little pooch! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sorry!
No bagels for me. Too many calories. I eat prunes and raisins.
perhaps not QUITE so good with smoked salmon and cream cheese - but to each their own...LOL
Someone mentioned bagels with Asiago cheese... those are good. A feature in the west is a bagel with jalapeno pepper cheese. Omigosh, that's good. Both should be lightly toasted with butter and can be used to great effect with bacon & egg & mayo, or tuna salad, or varying lunch meats. However my favorite remains a bit o' butter.
And of course, sadly, on my diet (jeez, nearly six months) I have not allowed myself more than a third of a bagel at a sitting and not more than twice all told. Sigh. Lovely, but bagels are fattening as all get out!
LIFE is fattening, she said sadly....
not only is life fattening, it is terminal.
(any truth to the rumor that chihuahuas were originally bred as a source of food? just the right size to cage instead of chickens. sick, yes, but true?)
This is probably gonna make me a pariah, but what the hell . . . i've eaten dog, while in Korea, more than 30 years ago . . . it was chow-wow-wow, however, not Chihuahua . . . kind of stringy, but a really good flavor. They also put it in a marinade when you have in a restaurant (by now, however, they may no longer serve it in restaurants), and then provide a charcoal brazier so you can cook it to suit your own tastes. . . . Oh, come on, i was 20 years old, what did i know? . . . sheesh, i knew i shouldn't have spilled the beans . . .
When you say chow, you don't mean Chow-Chow, do you?
<covering Penny's and Poppy's ears>
so you saw the purple tongue? you don't want anyone trying to pass off mongrel as chow on the bill, do you?
(ugh. sorry folks.)
Patiodog, i never saw any other kind of dog in Korea but chows, with the exception of the guard dogs the GI's had, and "pure breeds" owned by wealthy people in cities. In the "vill," out in the country, that was the only dog you saw.
Hmmm. Wonder if that's where the expression "chow" for food came from. Or vice versa...
