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

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!
love song for February

we love the cheddar dog treats!!! and we love your art... can we use any cheese? not sure if we have cheddar in our stores...
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteLOVE 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)
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteI have recorded the past couple of weeks of This Is Us, including the finale. I hate to see this one end.
mmm - I'm totally checking out that broccoli cheese casserole!!!! I love most veggies with cheese on it :)
ReplyDeleteyour 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....
ReplyDeleteLove your doodle - you are so talented. I also love that lake placid quilt - it is a knockout. I am glad Milo had something he liked...always good when the finicky ones find something to their liking!
ReplyDeleteThe doodle is so pretty and coorful and so is your quilt! Your food always looks so yummy. Hey Milo, I think cookies are the better choice too!!! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteYummy looking scrolls.
ReplyDeleteI love your last quilt
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! Such beauty and creative talent. We need to bake those dog treats. They look like a winning treat! Love Milo too! LOve hearing about everyone's fur babies. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteLeeAnna - 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!
ReplyDeleteLove your colorful doodle! And thanks for the reminder to catch up on This Is Us!,
ReplyDeleteYour bakings look really delicious, nowonder Milo approves! I’ve noticed Lily Kings novel, but not yet listened to it. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi, 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
ReplyDeleteThose cinnamon buns look to die for!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely blog post. Full of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at Milo being funny with new tastes....Milly is just the same. I always say anyone would think we were trying to poison her lol.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

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.
ReplyDeletePat
Oh boy, those cinnamon rolls look divine and the perfect remedy for these past several cold days. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteOh LeeAnna your Lake Placid quilt--!!! Be still my heart. Thanks for the links to the yummy-looking food! I'm drooling here. Will also check out the Milo-approved dog treats. Rufus is picky but Xena will eat anything...
