Hot boiled peanuts in the shell are like eating a small piece of Heaven. The best place to buy them is when you are out on a sight seeing journey on a two lane country road and just about the time you get a terrible case of the munchies, you find a small road-side stand where there is an open wood fire with a huge cast iron pot filled with bubbling salted hot peanuts! If you have your car windows rolled down you can smell the wood fire about a mile away.

To answer your question, Teri, they DO NOT taste like dry roasted or fried or smoked peanuts, they taste like boiled peanuts. They have a very distinctive flavor that is beyond description..... Oh man alive -- you pop the hot peanut in your mouth savor the salty flavor of the shell and use your teeth to punch open the shell, roll the peanut around in your mouth and tease the nuts out with your tounge. Eating a boiled peanut the "right" way is very sensual. :eek: Can I say that?

Erk! I hate them. My dad loved them. My brother uses them for pot shots at the grandkids LOL!!

Now Pecan Pie - that's an amazing invention. Omega, you just can't get enough of that pie can you?!?:D

Glad Sassy is doing better. Couldn't post when I first saw this, but wanted to say that Tink has a crying fit if she gets an alien on her butt. You'd think she was being chased by a monster or something. :eek:

Love of boiled peanuts.....Maybe it's a southern thing. I think it's in my genes. We had an old man that went around town selling both boiled and roasted peanuts from a cart. There were rumors about him. One was that he was a millionaire and this was just the way he chose to live. The other was that he was FBI or CIA...can't remember which. I laugh. Everything Cindy said is true. Everytime I go home, if the season is right, first thing I look for is cold boiled peanuts.

We also had a man that had a herd of goats that he drove (as in herding, not vehicular driving) all over Georgia. We all turned out to see this spectacle. Smelled to the high heavens, too...but there we all were to gawk at the goat man. Ya gotta remember this was in the fifties. A whole other era.

As to Sassy....she is doing well except for the potty training. I have placed a pee pad at every placed she has chosen since she has been here. I clean it with resolve pet cleaner then put vinegar water over that. She still finds a vacant spot between them or a new place. I now have her eating at specific times only., twice a day....with dry available all the time. I hope this is good for her. We have an appointment with the vet tomorrow and I will be asking him lots of questions. I want to be the best mommy she could ever have. I had to go a lot of places today and so decided to try the purse. She didn't much care for it, but I will try again. I like to have her with me every place I can possibly get away with.

YOU KNEW THE GOATMAN!!!!! He used to come through Rome once or twice a year!!!! WOW!!!!

From what I understand, he was a multi-millionaire but just loved his free livestyle.

For cleaning the carpet, you might try one of the cleaners made specially for taking urine smell out. She might be catching the scent throught he Resolve and the vinegar water.

Tell me one. The resolve pet stain cleaner is supposed to do that. The vinegar thing, I think I got somewhere on her or during the time I spent on the computer researching Yorkies.

Yep. The goat man. Wasn't he a sight? We lived in a small town (that is now a major seaport owned mostly by Japanese) and that was real entertainment in those days. :D

I have one more question.....is there anything available for stinky breath for Sassy. Don't laugh....the other night I washed her hinney more than once because I was convinced that was where the odor was coming from but it isn't. It's her breath. Peeeee-yoooo. Any advice?

LOL..poor little thing...she has a clean backside though :p
You said you are taking her to the vets? Have him check her baby teeth, they can cause bad breath.

I really have been craving cheesecake...I made reservations today to pick up my new puppy 2/9...I am very excited!:aimeeyork

:D :D

I just took a lemon cheesecake out of the oven.

:D :D

I pray for you a safe and pleasurable journey to get your baby. I need just one more. For Saaay, you understand. It has nothing to do with me loving the smell of sweet puppy breath. :rolleyes:

DUH!!

For Sassy. I don't know what Saaay is. Must be my southern drawl trying to get out! HA!

I love lemon cheesecake...with raspberries...yummm, I am drooling here.
I love puppy smell too, I hope Bailey likes Angel...I am a bit worried that she will feel displaced :(

I'll bet you they will just love each other. At first it might not be perfect but they are like kids. I think it will be fine. We just tend to worry too much. I know I do and there isn't much chance of that changing. But they are more adaptable than we give them credit for sometimes. When I was bringing Sassy home, I feared that she might be upset going away from her former family. But...she attached to me reallyfast and now she thinks I am wonderful and I feel the same way about her. :)

I use Simple Solution. It works great! Just follow the directions on the bottle. I now buy it by the gallon (or whatever their biggest size is. :( My new puppy is better at using the potty pads than either of my two 1 year olds. You can buy the stuff at Petco, Petsmart - most places.
