AgentBirdnest: I clicked "Puzzles for Adults" and was severely disappointed.

LaPtiteBete: LOL :D
I didn't find any "puzzles for adults" section...
I have no patience for puzzles :-| small ones, at a pinch...
My patience rather goes to other leisure activities, like drawing or knitting... :-)
I admire those who are able to do huge puzzles ! 1.000 pieces... wow
Note to self - send La Petite the 33,600 piece puzzle I just saw....-laughs-

Ixamyakxim: Gross but true story. My sister's dog is allergic to peanut butter (thankfully she just swells up, it's almost cute and funny but only because she has never ever had issues with breathing). During her "puppy years" she would occasionally be given some of the "typical" peanut butter and was fine. It was only later when she was given all natural real peanut butter that she showed (severe mind you!) symptoms.

The point - that gross garbage oil, sugar and processed stuff is so devoid of actual peanuts it wouldn't trigger her allergies.

j0ekerr: THIS, made me angry.

You are aware that dogs do not deal well at all with sugar in their diet, are you? Even the sugar in fruit can cause them problems. Processed sugar is a big NO.

You do NOT give a dog peanut butter, even as a joke, no matter how much she pleads, for the same reason you don't give them chocolate. Unless the person doing the feeding wants a blind dog.

In which case I will find that person, and gouge his eyes with a rusty spoon.

Yes I kind of like dogs.
Disclaimer: I love dogs too, have had one or more for the last 55 years of my life.
Now, not sure where the whole sugar thing came from. Dogs use sugar, whether simple or derived from the digestion of carbohydrates, the same as we do.
Too much leads to obesity, dental decay, etc. How much they can have depends on their activity level, just like us.
There are many foods that are truly BAD for dogs, onions can't be digested, chocolate is toxic, and there are 10-15 others on the no-no list.
Sugar however is not any better or worse for dogs than it is for us, which is bad in excess.

CarrionCrow: Well, you're definitely not a novice, so that doesn't surprise me.
Maybe this might be closer to your skill level?

Holy crap....didn't know 18,000 piece puzzles existed....

And now I've got my eye on a 9,000 piece astrology puzzle that costs 90 bucks. I either need to rob a bank or start selling organs to pay for all the hobby-related costs. -laughs-
24K pieces...

Where do you even keep that?

I think you set up a wall and put it there, like a painting.

You'd have to. The one I just joked about is almost 19 feet long by 5 feet high. You'd have to glue it silly and then you'd probably need one or more people to help you mount the thing to a long hallway.
Hell, the hallway's the only space in this house I could even begin to fit such a thing.

Oh, it's not about deserving to be punished....it's all about the reaction. -giggles- ;)

Carbohydrates in food, can be readily digested with no problems. rice, wheat, cereals in general, dogs can and enjoy eating them.
It's processed table sugar that can cause problems, their digestive system deals worse with high concentrations of fructose than ours. Basically it's relatively easy to cause diabetes in a dog by giving him sugary treats regularly.

But yes, it's not toxic or anything. And not necessarily bad in small adequate doses. I admit, it's somewhat overblown.

I've been looking up stuff. Part of the whole, "candy is bad for dogs hmmkay?" argument is due to xylitol, which is an artificial sweeteners, which again is not precisely healthy for them.

-laughs- Tell me about it. Might pick up the astrology one at some point because I like the picture and it'd make one hell of a poster after it was done, but I'm not touching anything bigger than that.

Additional - off to run errands during the warmest part of the day. Back in a bit. =)

xylitol is a fairly undigestable one I agree. I had just heard about sugar on the forums a few times lately and wondered why it was considered so bad. Yes, they are better off without it, just like us. But, just like us they sure love it! :-)

Falling asleep to the warm glow of my monitor... Relaxing.

If I'm not back in 24 hours, avenge my death. It was great talking to all of you :-)

adaliabooks: Oooo what kind?

I've got loads of apple sauce sitting in the freezer that I keep thinking of turning into a pie or crumble.. Haven't been bothered yet though.

ddickinson: [...]

What kind of pie are you making?
And ready!

It's my own recipe of a rolled up two-crust pie filled with my special homemade pastry cream (made with vanilla-bourbon ice-cream, mascarpone cheese and plums). I shaped it into a half moon and baked it on baking paper, no tin. Best served cold with some icing sugar and a generous dose of cinnamon.

Thank you. I'm sure she will be okay, she is strong willed and stubborn, so she won't let it get the best of her. Where do you think I get my stubbornness from. :-)

Well, now I know. ;-)

These christmas versions of game shows with kids... Bloody hell. Why do I even watch this stuff?

That said, I just saw an 8 year old cook a roast in Master Chef, that looked absolutely mouth watering.

You're all welcome to a piece or two - it turned out a pretty big half moon. ;-D
