We had our first Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday night. A turkey was thrust on me so I figured I’d better take the plunge and do Thanksgiving. I’m working on my People Pets cookbook so I seized the opportunity to experiment with only dog safe foods.
So I consulted the list, (it’s at the end of this post) and got to work. It was a bit of a challenge—I never cooked for Thanksgiving without garlic and onions and tomatoes and mushrooms…..But I think I succeeded. Everything tasted good, in spite of the omissions.
This also turned into a migraine free Thanksgiving. When I eat like a dog, I don’t get headaches. Sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. I cast aspersions at people who treat their dogs like people, but Mikey has taught me how to eat. Could it be that he treats me like a dog?
