Good Morning All;
We are in Minnesota, an uneventful trip thank God.
Am having an awful time with the internet in this room, and it is slower than my dial up at home! I can't get to my Flickr any more, so I still cannot share the pictures I have of our Little Lawrence in the snow in Alabama.
What a bunch of hoo~ha that site has become...
I did bring Punk to the vet yesterday morning before we'd left town. Doc Spires says she does NOT have an ear infection; and after checking the cytology of the moisture in her ears, he told me she has plain old allergies. She is now on antihistamines. ("Sleep, Punkie, sleep")... And some ear drops to make the itchy feeling go away.
She has some antibiotics to take also, for an infected right anal gland. (How the heck THAT happens is beyond me)?!?? Since antibiotics are the root of all evil, (and poo), I will wait until we get home to begin giving her those. I really don't think that a nice hotel room is the best place to find out if she gets diarrhea from them, do you?!
So no pics today- And I would call the admin on this, but since Casey is sleeping so good I am not going to be talking, and wake her.
I did at least manage to get my own Leek Soup recipe posted for anyone who would like to try it. Let me know how it turns out for you.
Casey's appointment with Dr. Sutherland is at 9:30... Must get in the shower shortly.
Have a "wunnaful" Wednesday!
Love to all
XOXO
Me

Anna's WHITE LEEK SOUP ~In about 45 minutes!
Description:
Ingredients:
See below...
Directions:
~
Get some leeks.
(About 4 or 5 medium size).
Get your soup pot. (A big one).
Use about 2+/- quarts water.
Ham, or ham bone (I use turkey ham). About 3 cups worth
Chop up a couple of sticks of celery. (Or "choop" them if you prefer). hehehe
1 medium onion
Chop whites of leeks. (I quarter them and then chop to 1/2").
Throw in 1/2 dozen cut up (soup size chunky) pootatoes.
2-3 carrots. (I shred mine on the old knucklebuster).
Couple tsps of chicken bouillon.
No salt- I throw in some Mrs. Dash garlic blend.
1 tsp or so of coarse pepper. (I use McCormicks "Seasoned Pepper Blend" on everything).
After everything is yummy, shut heat off.
Then add either:
a.) packets of nonfat dry milk,
or
b.) non dairy coffee creamer
to taste.
Add couple TBS of real butter.
Sprinkle with parsley...
Serve with some cheesy toast or croutons.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

And there you have it!

PS
I use either real smoked ham or turkey ham.
(Some of us prefer the turkey ham because 'real' pork can set off a migraine).
