Saturday With Joey Dog

Hi everyone! This is The Daily Bone, Saturday Edition and I'm your trusty doggie commentator Joseph (Joey dog) Spaniel.

It's been a couple weeks since I've done a Saturday special, so today I'm going to devote it to my favorite subject. I have an amazing, awesome, and incredible food report. 

Spaghetti and meatballs. A classic!

Oh, a beautiful pizza from Pizza Corner. Delicious!

Meatloaf and baked potato with steamed vegetables. Great on a cold day!

Teriyaki salmon, nishiki rice and steamed vegetables. Mmmmm! 

Chicken tenders with baked sweet potato and steamed vegetables. Delectable!

A toasted Bruegger's bagel with butter. Simple, yet satisfying.

My humans almost always have steamed vegetables with their dinner, as you may have noticed. They have a special microwave steamer and put in whatever seasonal vegetables are available. The secret to cooking them so that some don't get mushy and overdone and while others are still raw, is cutting them into uniform sizes and stacking them up properly. Carrots are cut into sticks and go in first. They get topped by cauliflower, broccoli, brussel's sprouts. Things like snap peas go on the top, farthest from the steaming water. It only takes 2 or 3 minutes to cook. I happen to be very fond of vegetables too.

Here's some food my humans had at the Korean restaurant. That's one of their favorite places to go out to eat! They brought some home, but most of it is not so good for doggies. Korean food is seasoned with lots of garlic and onions (no-nos for doggies) and toasted sesame oil. Oh, and fermented chili paste. Hot! Yipes!

After doing some grocery shopping, ghostwriter made up a fantastic bowl of delicious fruit! Do you see that great big pear on top? I hope I get some of that!

For the finale we have pot roast with gravy, asparagus, and semmel knödel. These special bread dumplings are one of the goodies from our dear Oma's Christmas package that the Evil Squirrel Cartel didn't get into when they chewed a hole in the box. I'm sure if that box of goodies was left on the porch step long enough, the squirrels would have stolen everything in it! 

As my junior colleague Chester L. W. Spaniel mentioned in yesterday's TDB, I am going on partial retirement from the Double Doggie  Homeland Security System, because I'm having some trouble with my legs. Chester agreed to take over most of the running and barking duties. I will still be able to do my forensics analysis and routine patrols. 

And, I will be maintaining my position as Doggie Chief Inspector, comestibles division, and keep up with the Yum Yum Coalition's Safe Food Directory.

I also plan on doing plenty of napping!

In fact, these days sleeping is my favorite sport.
