I Like Thursday # 285



welcome to this week's list of things to like... starting with a doodle I made using a small watercolor paper, a staedtler pen, and tombow watercolor markers... along with my imagination

I love the last quilt I finished, and the post is here describing my love of Lake Placid NY

 reading on ebook

so good, characters are interesting and I want it not to end...

 Sponsored Ad - Red Mountain: A Novel (Red Mountain Chronicles)

reading via audio books

just finished   a book of short stories. Usually very unsatisfying but these were interesting. I love the cover art


now hearing a fictionalized story of a real person and event. If you can listen to it being read please do


watching on tv

Glad to see my shows return, like This is Us, A million little things, New Amsterdam. Glad Amazing Race and Big Brother are still on but the two PBS shows had finale's this week. Enjoying the show about rich adult kids of celebrities working on a ranch... as a recovering social worker it's fun to watch people learning and growing. 

now that the temps are around 0 degrees F, I love my cuddle duds fleece leggings with big sweaters

as always I love my friends and talking to them on the phone lifts me up

Fine dining

 we had cottage cheese unopened but just past it's date, so I wanted to use it and found this recipe...

I think it's good...

and I tried a third recipe for cinnamon buns... what a tremendous amount of work, and I'd say she calls for too much butter in three stages of these, and way too much icing for us. She says this is just like cinnabun at the mall...here is the recipe

and our buns

really good recipe!!!

yummy icing!

rice and oat flours, cheddar, almond butter and eggs

https://lovemischka.com/easy-3-ingredient-cheddar-dog-treats/ 

made some new flavored dog treats, unlike this recipe I used a mix of oat flour, rice flour and oats. I used slightly less cheese, egg whites since that's what we use, and a tbsp of almond butter. 

Milo is not adventurous with new food, for instance it took a long time to accept fish (!!!) so he sniffed, then tasted, then sniffed, took it and dropped it in the "chewing place" where he takes bones and treats, picked it up, rolled it around his mouth, spit it out, then walked away, then sneaked back and ate it. 

he liked these cookies right away

the frosting is poodle approved!!!

Milo's Moment

Milo: just when I get into chasing off an offender by barking, mama interrupts me with unintelligible words, and calling to me to come and whatnot... sheesh! It's hard for a poodle to remember why they were barking! 

Mama: I looked out and don't see why you were barking either

Milo: sure, because I chased them off!

  2. I've heard The Personal Librarian is a really good book, but haven't gotten it yet. Your cinnamon rolls look yummy! I hope Milo is keeping his feet warm - brrr, it has been cold!

  3. LOVE your fun art doodle, LeeAnna!! Thanks for sharing that casserole recipe (after our Zoom call yesterday.) It is delicious!! I subbed frozen for the fresh and added other veggies, as well. It's totally adaptable to what you have in the fridge or freezer! (The Joyful Quilter @ work)

  4. A couple of those books are tempting me. I have to get control of the books in my "to read" stack - both on my nightstand and on my iPad. So many interesting books out there.

    I have recorded the past couple of weeks of This Is Us, including the finale. I hate to see this one end.

  6. your lake placid quilt is so soothing. Lovely and calm. And I love the idea of homemade dog treats. I have a couple recipes but they call for uncommon items I don't have in my pantry and I haven't gotten around to remembering to look for them when at the store....

  9. I have been eyeing the book for a bit now. Gorgeous doodle, and Lake Placid is amazing. Your cinnamon rolls look better than an attempt that I made yesterday, which was written in my personal cookbook. Obviously I wrote it down, but never made it. I won't try it again. :D Great likes as always.

  11. LeeAnna - your quilt is amazing. It reminded me of how it looks when scuba diving, and you are rising from the depths of the sea to the sky. And the best part of cinnamon buns is the icing! Enjoy your weekend!

  13. Your bakings look really delicious, nowonder Milo approves! I’ve noticed Lily Kings novel, but not yet listened to it. Happy weekend.

  14. Hi, my friend. Seeing that the frosting is Milo approved is a good thing. Broccoli and cottage cheese?? Who would have thought but geez, that sounds delicious. I have some CC on the verge that should be used up, too. And broccoli in the freezer - you never know when the URGE for broccoli might hit. Or, more likely, I guilt us into including it in a healthy meal. Thanks for the link! I am reading SUCH a good book, I can't put it down . . . but alas, work dictates that I must. I have to go share the title and author in next week's post, for sure. Take care of our Milo! He does a great job keeping you safe. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

  21. Well, here it is, 5:30 PM on Saturday and I still have gotten an email for this post from Thursday. So I tracked it down. When I saw Milo's treat, I thought it was people cookies. Thanks for the songs. The singer on Stardust is so good.
