I have been recording and posting everything that I consume for the past sixty nine days. Being mindful of every single thing that I eat is a bit challenging, less so as time goes on. Being mindful that everything I eat (at least at mealtimes), also affects what Dan eats, is slightly more challenging. It isn’t that much of an issue. Having been married for almost twenty six years, we have worked out meal plans that work for both of us.
Then there is Molly!
Molly is fed Blue Buffalo dog food, two cups twice a day – plus the occasional dog treat, popcorn, or nut. For the past several months, we have been putting one Omega gel cap in with her morning food. Molly would get up every morning, head outside to do her business, walk the perimeter of our yard to make sure everything was in order, and come back in the house to snarf down her breakfast – including the Omega.
A few days ago, Molly decided that she was offended by the Omega gel cap. She would balk at eating her food, take the Omega out and place it on a small mat, and finally eat her food. THEN, she decided she could not eat until she removed the offending gel cap AND we dumped her food and replaced it with fresh, non Omega tainted food.
This week, Molly will eat her breakfast AND her Omega, BUT only if she sees Dan putting her food and the Omega into her bowl.
Trying to improve my eating habits, and Dan’s by default, has its challenges. Living with a Pyrenees – and feeding one, these days, takes that challenge to a whole new level. 🤦

* The recipe I used for the matrimonial cake called for Maple Syrup instead of sugar, plus it omitted the lemon juice, in the date filling. I am not sure why it would need Maple Syrup or sugar with dates. We didn’t notice the difference in taste using the Maple Syrup, but I certainly missed the lemon juice!
That’s it for today. Take care and have a great day! 💗☺️
