beware: lots of animal pics ahead

Gosh, a week has already passed since these pics were taken. Someone offered to be a guest blogger (ahem) this past week but claims he doesn't know the blog password.

Last Friday, another dog pile ensued on the couch:
On Saturday, we drove over to Meyers Beach by Bayfield, WI to do some snow shoeing. The South Shore of Lake Superior has been getting a bunch of good fluffy snow.
Anna enjoyed some snowshoe surfing on the backs of our snowshoes.
Here we are out on the Big Lake:
Look how handsome Timmy is:
The pups were tuckered out from all the romping around and spent the evening like this:
Our attempt for a family photo of the animals:
Kramer wanted nothing to do with it.

For Sat. night dinner Mikey made La Bourriee which is a french fish stew that is topped with bread and roullie (a garlic bread mayo):
There was shrimp, grouper, mussels and halibut in the stew. It was the perfect winter dinner!
After dinner, we did what we always do when we're together... smoked a cigar and drank some wine. Our attic is perfect for this in the winter especially with a space heater.

On Sunday we took the dogs for a walk down on Park Point beach. The lake creates some very interesting ice monuments along the shore. However, the sand is frozen and perfect for walking. We happened to see a huge immature bald eagle that appeared to be hunting. Pretty neat!
After showers and tea to warm up, we went to Pizza Luce for brunch. The 'rents and Mikey started with a Bloody Mary and I had a Mimosa. John had the most delicious looking biscuits & gravy:
I had the Portablla Mushroom Benedict:
I was only able to eat half of this. It was so rich but oh so good!!

After the 'rents and Timmy went home, we all took a nap and Annie woke up with tears streaming down her face (you may have to enlarge the photo to see the tears):
She wuvs her cousin Timmy.

I finished up my Improv for Business class this week.
For our big meal this week, Mikey made Cauliflower Curry:
It was completely vegetarian and knocked our socks off. There is a rice base, a cauliflower/onion/pepper/chick pea/potato layer with a curry paste and then topped with cucumbers, seasoned greek yogurt, cashews, raisins, toasted coconut & cilantro. Oh my goodness! If all vegetarian food was this awesome, I'd never miss the meat! This meal was based off a recipe in the Moosewood cookbook.

We both work at 6am tomorrow so we're off to bed. Have a great weekend!
