Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s your one and only Perfect Pitty here to whisk you into a wonderful weekend.

I trust you followed my example yesterday and stuffed your little tummies to bursting point.

I was hoping for a leg of that sizzling bird but Granny said I might choke on the bones so I was given breast only.

Truth be told it was because she is partial to those bits. She ate both wings followed by a leg a little later.

No wonder she resembles a pudding.

I am nonetheless eternally grateful to her that she hovered over the stove most of the afternoon in between ooh and ahhing over those dogs at the show.

The pug won.

We weren’t voting for it and there wasn’t a Pitty in sight. Of course there was nothing roughly resembling the stinking Gizzard as he is a mutt

So dear ones have fun today. Trot off a little turkey if you can and build up some stamina for sandwiches later.

I’m off now to have a good sniff at granny’s hair as she hasn’t washed it since cooking and smells very tasty.

The turkey is still in the fridge as we’re having our dinner in the evening.

Ma and me likes to watch the Macys parade and the national dog show that follows it.

We guess who is going to be the winner and we do things during commercial breaks like peeling the veg and making the stuffing.

We have already got to thinking of all the things we can make with the leftovers.

Does anyone else think they are the best bit.

I especially like the sandwiches because they tend to be chunky enough for bits to go south.

We saw this just now and it gave us another idea. What true for a chicken must be true for a turkey too.

Precious Peeps it’s your very own Pretty Pitty here to help you over the hump.

It’s not such a big one this week as Thursday is thanksgiving so we’re off then so technically it feels like Friday today.

It’s especially good as Granny decided to not open the tearoom this week so we are having fun with her at home.

We were experimenting again yesterday making sausage rolls from scratch.

They looked a total mess but they tasted great. That means we have to try again until we perfect the art.

We watched some of Mary Berry’s Christmas programs on Netflix just in case she made some and had “how to make them pretty” tips but she didn’t so we’ll just have to keep trying.

Dad is happy as they are one of his favorite foods. Always knew my father was a man of excellent taste after all he pick me didn’t he!

We also made ketchup that tasted and looked more like chutney but don’t tell Granny I said that!

I’ll encourage the old gal some more today and see what she comes up with.

Blessing#2266-Concoctions

Yesterday we did an experiment.

We made mini bread puddings. Finger food!

They taste good but we need to work on appearance for Victorian Christmas.

There were originally two layers of them put the Bro made a stop at the fridge each time he passed it.

Since they are tiny he had to have two or three at a time to make it worth chewing.

I am particularly partial to early morning

It’s the time when I lie on my back with my legs in the air and do my banter.

See when you are totally relaxed the creative juices flow so freely.

Today it occurred to me that y’all need to know this.

If you are ever feeling mad or sad or even bad just lie down on a soft surface and elevate your limbs.

Open your mouth like you are dead and then chill like that for fifteen minutes.

Once you are good and ready, just like a spatchcock turkey, roll over and shake it all off.

You’ll be good to go after sitting still for another fifteen minutes and will be in good form for at least the next six hours.

Blessing#2264-Top Tip

Ma got the big bird yesterday so it can thaw in the fridge till Thursday.

I am partial to turkey and there are usually a lot of little bits that by some miracle make their way into my bowl. Thanks Dad!!!

Thanks to the lovely grocery store MEIJER they are also very affordable 0.49 cents a pound. Means most families will be able to enjoy provided they have an oven. Alas not always the case!

In the run up to Turkey Day every TV station will be telling us how to roast the perfect bird.

Is it really that hard? Don’t you just put it in a pan and stick it into the oven.

Sometimes humans complicate things too much.

They have a lot to learn from us canines.

Just do it!!

In theory this will be the last day that Ma goes to to work for ten days.

It’s been a while since she’s had such a long time off but she decided that she needed it.

We will of course be busy preparing for the Annual Victorian Christmas. There will be mince pies, shortbread , sausage rolls and who knows what when we bake up a storm.

Maybe if it’s not too cold we might also get a trip to the trails.

For sure there will be a nice nap each afternoon.

I am smiling at the prospect and may even be kind to the kid.

As the saying goes on the vase Auntie Caroline gave Ma during COVID « Always expect something wonderful is about to happen »

Blessing#2262-Time Off

Precious Peeps it’s your favorite Pitty Person here to wish you a very happy Friday.

It’s freezing here and we had our first snow. It hurts my poor Pitty paws so I appreciate when we don’t walk far in this.

Short walks mean internal intense interval training is called for.

I start by running upstairs ten times and jumping from the landing to the turn in the stairs.

By this time Grumpy has had enough and starts chasing me round the dining table. This usually takes twenty turns before he gives up for fear of inducing a heart attack.

I partake of some rehydration and maybe a tiny treat if one is available if not I gnaw the Nyla for a few minutes.

After this I’m ready for the master suite. Straight through the double doors a quick bit of Zumba on the bed and then onwards into the bathroom to see if by chance Granny has abandoned her footwear in an accessible area.

Usually I manage to find something and this results in a chase with her to retrieve it.

Trust me troopers this will keep you in shape. Give it a try this weekend and enjoy annoying as many peeps as possible!!!!

Blessing#2261-Workouts

I love it when the putrid Pit gets in trouble.

So it was at midnight on Wednesday morning that Ma and I were awakened by a strange noise.

For once it wasn’t Casey Jones instead it sounded like one of Elons rockets landing.

Ma went to investigate and found the roar was coming from the Brothers chamber.

I heard her utter the immortal words « what the hell are you doing »

She returned to inform me the Pit had puked all over the bedroom carpet and the Bro felt the need to immediately clean up the mess and was shampooing the carpet.

We all returned to the land of nod shortly thereafter.

I had a big smile on my face!

Precious Peeps it’s meeeeeeeeeeee!

Your very own Pits Perfect here to help you over the humpty.

Poor Queen Camilla needs our virtual hugs as her doggie Beth has crossed the rainbow bridge.

Beth had a hard start in life but was adopted as a puppy by the Queen which would officially make her a Princess.

She was a Jackie Russell not a Pitty like me but I’d be most willing to pack my bags for Buck House if the Queen were to ask me.

I can see the headlines now PIT at the PALACE all bans repealed.

Just think of all the good I could do like biting Elons bum when he inevitably shows up with the new President for a state visit!
