BloodBeard and Super Bowls

For our second annual SuperBowl in Oregon, Nick, Abbie and I went to a friend's house in Portland. Nick and I decided to make Stuffed Mushrooms, and Mouse Knuckles (Family Recipe for Bacon wrapped water chesnuts). They were quite the hit. We had enough food there for 12 people. Needless to say it was our "bad day" for the week. The game was exciting and we got to give Jessica some life lessons. My favorite is "Bloodbeard" which is the newest cousin to the Steamy Dishwasher, but probably isn't Blog appropriate. I will save that tale for another time. All in all I would say this years SuperBowl was a success.

There is another part to this story: We have been weaning Ditka from his cage when we leave during the day. (The night time weaning didn't work out and his crate won't be going anywhere in that dept. anytime soon). We started leaving him for short periods of time and he has done perfectly, so I talked Nick into leaving him for the 8hrs we would be gone yesterday. We hid some treats and turned on Animal Planet's 5th Annual Puppy Bowl. We left and returned to find...our house was just as we had left it! We were so proud of our baby.
