Meet my Darling Sous Chef – Jake
Aloha Dreams
Fabulous Recipes, Cooking for a Crowd & Dream Home Design
Meet my new Sous Chef, Christmas present and 22 pounds of darling love – Jake!
What do you think? Isn’t he just adorable? He’s my Christmas present and 22.5 pounds of needle-sharp puppy teeth just looking for stray recipe cards to happily shred to bits. I have NEVER said the word “poop” more often in my life! And what’s worse, I’m doing it at 3:00 am in the morning. In sub-zero temperatures. In the front yard. At the top of my voice (so as to be ignored over the howling wind). POOP DARN IT JAKE, POOP.
POOP! POOP! POOP!!!!
I’m sure the neighbors are now REALLY wondering what’s going on over here…
Here’s the most recent pic of him.
Notice that wet spot on my brand-new carpet over Jake’s shoulder? That’s AFTER the mess has been cleaned up.
Being a labrador, Jake really LOVES water. He is especially fond of the jacuzzi. Filled or not, occupied or not. I thought you might like to see just what we’re dealing with. Enjoy. And stay tuned. I have a lot of great recipes coming up, including a wonderfully flavorful Tortilla Soup and Tiramisu for a Crowd (or just you).
