Trick or Treat

We don't have a dog but a lot of people (in our neighborhood) do. So, the other day I purchased one box of Our Family Dog Biscuits (Multi-Flavor) to have on-hand for our passers-by. As Kit perused the box, she mentioned that the INGREDIENTS section included some interesting sounding items:

Wheat Flour (good start)
Wheat Middlings (never heard of these)
Meat and Bone Meal
Animal Fat (what animals?)
Dried Cheese Product (who doesn't love it?)
Liver Meal (but, of course)
Poultry By-Product Meal (which means what!?)
Dried Beet Pulp (my personal favorite)
Dried Milk
Bacon Fat
Wheat Germ Meal (sounds healthy)
Dried Molasses

These treats look like a veritable cornucopia of nutrition, all packed into handy little biscuit snacks. Now when our neighbor dogs stop by, I know exactly why they are so interested in what's in my pockets.

Room Snacks

While travelling, we often find ourselves in a hotel room with only a TV remote control and a coffee pot. Today's Travel Tip is to bring your own Room Snacks to make your home away from home more homey.

Here we see a nice variety representing most of the four major snack groups. Notice the clever use of the Aerobies as serving plates. I like to snack, but expecially if I'm at all nervous. Obviously, in this picture taken in Detroit Lakes, I was quite nervous.
