Those of you who know me know that before i had children i had a dog. Pesto. I purchased pesto out of the back of a pickup truck at the mall. He was a cute little shepard cross. And, like that big red dog that we all hate, he grew and he grew. Pesto was a dominant male who i spent hundreds of hours training. Oh how i loved my pesto.
Then we had kids. And the big dog knocked them over. And we lived in a little house in the city. And there was no room. So pesto went to live with grandma and grandpa on saltspring island. He is quite the friend to everyone in fulford harbour. And now! Now we live on two acres in the country and we have no babies and pesto is coming home. All twelve years of him! I'm so excited.

Last week when we were at the allergist he suggested that we could take parker and eliza off of singulair, their asthma medicine. So we did. And now parker is sick with a cold and asthma and back on puffers and pills and singulair. So much for that. Phhppplttt!!! to doctors.

We had a perfectly perfect spring break culminating in a wonderful weekend at saltspring. A few photos can be found by clicking the photo below!

For dinner! Tonight! Chicken breasts! Tonight i had them brushed with dijon, then egg wash, flour, fried in olive oil and butter. Pan scrapings mixed with whole milk and cream - served on the side with rice and broccoli. A hit! Next the lemon juice and olive oil recipe from chair. And many more to come! Keep those recipes coming! I am no longer afraid of the raw chicken!

grrrrrrrr to doctors.
I am about to start tapering Youngest off his advair (he is on a high dose, twice a day) -
avair! a steroid which he has been on for nearly three years.
Last year when I started to taper off? he got very sick.
I know it's wonderful that he has been well for so long, but steroids!
sigh.
