They're going on a seven day Carnival cruise on the 28th and I have no keep their cocker spaniel for two weeks. Their punishment is that while in this house the dog hangs around me and not them because at his home, none of those four walk him. They just open their patio so he'll do his business in their miniscule backyard. Here he gets walked and gets to eat wet food mixed with his kibble so he actually eats. He knows when they hit the driveway someone actually cares for him, and I have never owned a dog. But since 2001, I seem to take care of other people's pets over Christmas as I worked at universities and rarely went home. For two weeks, I will be lucky to get $60 from them as they think I'm a free kennel.

Back to food, the rib marinade was soy, red wine vinegar, garlic and onion. I made the pesto chicken lasagna tonight to bake tomorrow, but I forgot to add riced cauliflower to the ricotta mix.
