Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Killer Bee-agles

The pups make a lot of crazy noises. They are working on howling. Growling and snarling is a skill they've mastered.

But the buzzing in this video totally cracked me up.

Scraps and Snippets ~ Vegan Potato Breakfast Casserole

Vegan Potato Breakfast Casserole

The night before prep cashews for the cream sauce 
1 1/2 Cups cashews
2 Cups water
3/4 Cup non-sweetened, unflavored non-dairy milk (you could probably get away with more water instead) 

NOTE: You will not discard the water. 


In the morning place the nut mixture into a food processor and whir until creamy and add the following:
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Siracha)
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 TBSP lemon juice
4 TBSP nutritional yeast
Mix well.

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9 x 13 pan.


2 Bags (16 ounces each or 1 large) shredded or diced frozen potatoes
1 Onion fine dice 
1 Pepper fine dice 
6-8 mushrooms fine dice 
Faux sausage bits (I used Upton's)

Place one bag potatoes in the pan and press down. 

Saute the onions, peppers and mushrooms until tender.
Place the veggies over the potatoes. Top with the sausage and the rest of the potatoes. 

Pour the cheesy sauce over the potato layer. 

Bake for 45 minutes.

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Couch Surfing err Swimming...Pup Style


An odd new puppy trick. 

Gertrude begs for a tiny bit of a cuddle, then she climbs whichever human she's cuddling with and perches on the back of the couch. 

Then begins the burrowing. Until she's fully comfortable.  

This process takes many laps to accomplish.

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Thoughts? Does She?


Rob thinks Gladys looks like a meerkat. We are having fun with that. Especially now that her feisty personality is making thwarting her rotten plans opportunities for growling. 

Gladys has also developed some sweet leaping skillz. From couch to couch. She hunkers down, springs legs forward and nails the landing, ears flapping mid-flight. 

The little suckers are smart. They are signaling that they want to go outside by pawing the front door. Unfortunately, they often just want to go outside to dig in the dirt and play, not potty. But, we are making many trips outside every day and sometimes it's fruitful.  Also. Most of the recent pictures I've taken are blurry as it's difficult to catch them not wrestling, fighting or running. 

What think you? Meerkat Gladys?

Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Distortional

What I got from Bible Study last night... 

Our world is like a fun house. 

Distorted mirrors displaying not who we are, but the broken images that have been scratched, spindled and mutilated by the enemy of our souls. 

Christ came to bring us back to our perfect and uniquely wonderful, handcrafted selves.
