turkey time

by the time you read this, Jeremy and I will have made our trek to the mid-west (Ohio, to be exact) to spend Thanksgiving with his family right outside of Cleveland. The pugs will be doing a lot of the above illustration while spending the week at my parents' house. Although, more than likely without the pink snuggie, as I really can't see my mom and dad wrangling Clementine into that thing....

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and has much to be thankful for this year. We certainly do!

Sleepy Sunday

Oh, the Ladypug.

Sorry I've been MIA again...I thought things had settled down, but then I got an internship for my professional writing graduate program. So I've been working at that, plus my other graduate class, plus the 30+ hours a week I work my regular job at a college (which is in full swing spring registration - gah!).
Basically I've had to make a choice between actually spending time with the pugs, or blogging about them, and of course, I've chosen to spend time with them.
And now the Holidays are upon us! Ay-yi-yi!

Thanks for continuing to visit us and comment. I hope to be able to read up on some blogs this afternoon. If you'd like to see what I'm up to on a daily basis, the best way is to follow me on twitter. Twitter has become my back-up blogging outlet since it takes so little time, but still allows me to post pictures of the dogs and what I'm up to. If you're on twitter, check us out.

Have a wonderful, sleepy Sunday!

Puggie Snuggie

Sooo...I *may* have bought Clementine a pink Snuggie.....

Art Fair

A few weekends ago I participated in an arts and crafts fair at the horse farm of my parents' neighbors. The pugs had a fun meet 'n greet afternoon...

Fall fun!

Foodie Friday - cilantro lime chicken

This week's recipe comes from Jess, aka Clover and Chewy's mom. This is a special recipe because it's her re-creation of a dish she had at a restaurant in Williamsburg while here on meet up. Here's a picture of all of us (Jess is on the far left in the back) enjoying the original dish!

Hi Rachel!
I really loved my meal from Food For Thought in Williamsburg, so I tried to re-create it at home. Here is my recipe:

Marinate 4 chicken breasts in 1tbsp olive oil, zest from 1 lime, juice from 1/2 a lime, 3 tbsp chopped cilantro and 1 clove of garlic for 4 or 5 hours, in the fridge.
Bake chicken in oven.
15 minutes before chicken is done, coat with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, zest from 1 lime, juice from 1 1/2 limes, 1 tbsp parmesan cheese, dash of salt and pepper.
I served mine with whipped red-skin potatoes and seasoned green & yellow beans. The presentation wasn't very pretty, but it tasted quite good. Next time I will probably use only one lime instead of 2 because it was a little too tangy I think.

Yay! Great recipe, Jess - and I think it looks delicious!
And now, a new addition to Foodie Friday - because I now have SO many former recipes, I can start suggesting other recipes that would be good with this week's dish! So my suggestions for Jess's chicken:

1. Melissa's black bean and tomato quinoa
OR
2. Kelly's grilled corn salad
AND for dessert
3. Sandra's Suspiro Limeño

Both would be delicious alongside this main course.

If you try this recipe, take some pictures and email them to me and I'll post on a future Kitchen Adventure.

And, of course, if you have a recipe you'd like to see featured - send it on! projectdogway@yahoo.com

Three Things Thursday

I've been totally remiss on updating about bloggy meetup '09, but I've been swamped at work these past two weeks. Today I wanted to list three things we did on meetup and then one bonus thing we did!

First off, the bloggers at the meetup in Williamsburg were Punchy (+C), Jess, Tammy (aka - "woman"), and Girlville.

1. Had some delicious lunch at Food for Thought. Tune in tomorrow for a recipe inspired by our lunch!

2. Went on a tour and tasting of Williamsburg Winery.

3. Feasted on Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Cookies that I made from Laura's recipe!

(everyone gave them multiple "yummy" points)

And the bonus . . . .

4. Punchy, C and Jess came to MY house to meet Winston and Clementine!!!!

It was so much fun! I highly recommend going to a bloggy meetup if you are ever able. It's so awesome to meet the people that you correspond with on a daily basis. It feels like seeing an old friend again or something. I wish I could have met all the pugs as well, but that's for another meetup! Barkwells, anyone??? It's right near "woman" and it's pug-friendly!!
