[Eoscstudents] Menu for Tues. Aug. 5

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

We got a little welcome rain at my house yesterday evening.  I hope you 
all did too.  Everything was just about to the point of spontaneous 
combustion.  Opening the storm door to go in the house, or putting your 
seatbelt on in the car could almost get you branded, and definitely make 
you yelp and let go as fast as you could.   Be sure and keep fresh water 
out for your outdoor pets.  It is critical in this heat that if they 
can't get in to the house or somewhere cooler that they have plenty of 
water to keep them hydrated.  I read somewhere that large dogs enjoy it 
if you freeze a treat or a toy in a chunk of ice and put it out for 
them.  They love to play with it trying to get the toy out.   Watch out 
for wasps and other stinging insects in your pet's area too.  We had 
several wasps come into our house this past weekend and a couple of our 
dogs thought it was great fun to jump and snap at them.  Luckily they 
didn't actually get hold of one, but I think the wasps held a grudge, 
because later, one of them dive bombed my chihuahua and stung her on the 
shoulder.  She spent the rest of the weekend scared to death watching 
for them and hiding under covers.  She really learned a healthy respect 
for wasps from that little experience.   Luckily she didn't have an 
allergic reaction.

Our menu for today includes:
                Meatloaf
                Mashed potatoes and brown gravy
                Broccoli rice casserole
                Blackeye peas
                Corn
                Squash
                Rolls
                Chicken patty
                Chips

And for dessert have a real taste of summer with some Blackberry Cobbler.

Keep cool,

Rhoda     ;-)
