As I type this on Monday afternoon, I am anticipating GRILLED BBQ PORK STEAKS for supper! The temperature is supposed to reach the 70s today, and since Daylight Savings Time just went into effect on the weekend, we'll have sunlight until 7:00. Farmer H is a good griller!
This will be the first time he's attempted grilling since Pupsie came to live here. We'll see how that goes. Pupsie shies away from Farmer H, ever since that ONE TIME he cornered her and caught her as a wee pup. Still, Pupsie is quite agile, and has now grown taller than even Scarlett. It is not beyond the scope of possibility that Pupsie could jump up and grab a pork steak off the grill, and run away with it. Farmer H will have to be on his toes while he's sitting on his rumpus at Gassy G Jr.
Farmer H wanted potatoes to go with the pork steaks. He used to slice and wrap them in foil and cook them on the grill, but now I make them in the oven. Usually just layers of potatoes alternated with slices of onion, a dab of butter, and let them bake. They turn out like potatoes fried in a skillet, though they usually don't get a crispy portion except along the edge.
This time, I put them in my small roaster pan. Layered, with some vegetable oil to keep them from sticking, and some ground black pepper. I'm not sure how Farmer H will like this version, though it would seem to me that they'll be the same as the foil and oven versions. Of course I'll offer him a small salad to go with his meat and potatoes, but I already know his answer...

How big will Pupsie get? My daughter sent a swab to get her dog's breeds. The dog was pretty obviously a pit bull mix and her mother told her so, but she forked over $1000 to find out that I was right. There were some other breeds mixed in that gene pool, but she was predominantly pit bull. Now that she can't find a comparable job, I bet she wished she had that money she wasted!
Kathy,
From the looks of Pupsie's feet, she'll be getting even bigger. I wish I could get a picture of her. She really looks like a German shorthaired pointer, only black instead of liver-colored. Her head shape and short hair seem to point that direction. She's a lithe, long-legged dog with kind of a square head and flopped-over ears.
One Christmas I got the boys a test kit to see what kind of dog my Sweet, Sweet Juno might be. I picked her for a labrador/border collie mix. That kit didn't cost much, under $25. We forgot to use it!!! So much for solving that mystery. Not sure how accurate it would have been.
I hope pupsie doesn't have any great dane in her, those dogs are huge! It does sound as if she is becoming more used to you both and feeding her will only help with that.
River,
I hope so too! I hadn't thought of that breed. Her head shape and smooth coat could come from that. Pictures of her tomorrow.
