The breed standard for beagles says they 'need not be exercised to exhaustion to rest' and every time I read that I swear quietly under my breath as Gimbal literally tries to leap over my head.
Thank you! He was brought up to Jersey as a transport by my old shelter in Birmingham, AL, so I named him after rocket engine gimbals as a tribute to my years in Alabama, but it turns out he's from Georgia lol.
I love dogs eating fruits and veggies, cracks me up. Ours will happily eat frozen cauliflower or broccoli straight from the bag; this week we also discovered she likes raw tomatoes. But a no thanks to raw carrots, which some pups love.
Holly loves cherry tomatoes and any tomato from our garden, but she’ll spit out a storebought Roma or beefsteak. Her favorite veggie snack is the core from a spiralized zucchini, though.
I’m reading this from a hotel in snowbound Marlboro Massachusetts waiting for my sons hockey tournament to kick off and I’ve just eaten the most disappointing breakfast sandwich known to mankind, a bagel, sausage, egg and cheese that was in a chafing dish for far too long a time.
Those ACgriddles would be fantastic cooked on an outdoor flattop grille.
The second of three golden retrievers that my parents owned (which I think of as our dim Dutch dog, because he was all three) took minimal interest in human food except for moussaka and ground parmesan, either of which he would eat with gusto. So Max's enthusiasm for bananas seems completely reasonable to me.
Thank you for a delightful start to the weekend. I shall ponder all day how a dog can hear a banana being peeled, I guess I've never bought the ones that make sound and feel that I've been deprived.
Also looking forward to listening to the music recommendation after work.
McGriddles are the go-to special breakfast treat. The kids very rarely get fast food breakfast, but when they do, it's always "PANCAKE BISCUITS". I described them that way once and it's stuck for 5+ years now, and I hope it never goes away.
If you want to be really extra with the homemade McGriddle, though, I have to recommend the Josh Weissman addition of maple syrup balls to the pancakes. It really gives you more of the unholy-food-science vibes that the real McGriddle has.
Maybe? The pancakes here are outside my wheelhouse.
I've seen recipes that try to pull the bones out of a half rack of ribs to make a ribwich. We pull and chop leftover ribs, slow cook in sauce for extra tenderness, then put on sandwiches with white onion and pickle. Maybe if I smoked the ribs longer we wouldn't need the added step
My favorite breakfast is a Monte Cristo, but I rarely find the opportunity to have it. I've never had a McGriddle (anything from McDonalds makes me feel terrible), which maybe disqualifies me from commenting, but I'm going to have to try this at-home version. I see it delivering in a similar but more American way vs the french monte cristo.
Great music release day today between Gang of Youths, String Machine, and like 8 other artists I vaguely know putting stuff out that seems like it'll be good.
Sedecordle (21 guesses for 16 words) is slowly fixing their interface and making it more playable, that's taken over for me as the multiple wordles at once to do (but do not play on mobile, it will be a terrible time). Wordle, Sedecordle, Globle, and the hockey-specific one (Gordle, naturally) are the ones I do daily, others if i feel like it/think about them.
"...something that really held me back in the internet of ten years ago" got me real good on the first coffee sip of the morning. I then spent three minutes zoning out reliving Epic Meal Time as a cultural construct before I realized I was staring into space.
I may be embarrassed to say that I have found Taylordle, a Wordle knock off devoted to all things TSwift. I may be more embarrassed to say that I have a 95% success rating, only missing one when I forgot I was doing Taylordle and not Wordle.

Sounds like Gimbal may have some Western Flubber Hound in his family tree somewhere.
Great dog name!

Small world. I am a Birmingham resident.
I did my PhD at UAB from 2007-2014 lol.
My day is already better knowing that Max loves bananas.

Definitely here for dogs eating zoodles
Especially poodles. Or doodles.

Hello from Logan airport
The second of three golden retrievers that my parents owned (which I think of as our dim Dutch dog, because he was all three) took minimal interest in human food except for moussaka and ground parmesan, either of which he would eat with gusto. So Max's enthusiasm for bananas seems completely reasonable to me.
Shadow was basically Ron Swanson trying to eat a banana (one of the best scenes from that show).
Thank you for a delightful start to the weekend. I shall ponder all day how a dog can hear a banana being peeled, I guess I've never bought the ones that make sound and feel that I've been deprived.

[speaking into voice recorder] future recipe idea: loud bananas? explore further
I saw Loud Bananas open for Broken Social Scene in 2006 I think.

Providing ACB with cool ingredients needs to be done carefully otherwise you get something like gremlins scenario
I have long dreamt of making a gourmet mcgriddle. I started with a good version of the ribwhich but have yet to fly that close to the sun.
Curious to hear more about the ribwich. I know Kenji Lopez did one; it seems more ambitious than the McGriddle to me.

Monte Cristo is an elite sandwich, up there with the Kentucky Hot Brown in “this will wreck me but I will enjoy it” decadence

Based on your list, I highly recommend Jon Scalzi's "The Interdependency" trilogy...also, anything by Scalzi.
if you're like me and love Pokemon, then I've got the Wordle knockoff for you
