Might have been both. The "staffing issues" thing was quite common at

No thanks to having a real rat but pigeon would be interesting.

Title: Dog Pooch Munchies
Categories: Breads, Pork, Cheese, Eggs
Yield: 6 Servings

3 c Whole wheat flour
1 ts Garlic salt
1/2 c Soft bacon fat
1 c Shredded cheese
1 lg Egg; beaten slightly
1 c Milk

Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

Place flour and garlic salt in a large bowl. Stir in bacon
fat. Add cheese and egg. Gradually add enough milk to form a
dough. Knead dough and roll out to about 1" thick.

Use dog bone cookie cutter to cut out dough. Place on
greased cookie sheet. Bake about 12 minutes, until they
start to brown.

Cool and serve.

These are alleged to be "doggie treats". They will make
pretty decent "people treats" as well. -- UDD

Hi Dave,

Kinda like if you've ever watched the tv show "Blue Bloods" and the
family dinner that is always the last scene.

All things considered, I think I'd rather have a cat over a dog, 99% of

My sister in law has several dog treat recipies making the same
disclaimer. One of her daughters has a springer spaniel that mom and dad
have to "babysit" on a semi regular basis so she makes the treats, keeps
half and gives the other half to her daughter for the dog.

We'll be on the road again starting Saturday. Travel will be dicey until

Most of my time in your area was spent on I-65 unless I had a delivery or pickup at Brown-Foreman. Mostly it was buzz on thru to Elizabethtown and the Bardstown road to Jim Beam or the distilleries in B'town.

And one memorable trip with car parts for GM's Corvette plant.

Kinda like if you've ever watched the tv show "Blue Bloods" and the

I gave up nursing at the glass teat several years ago.

I've seen it at my sister in law's different times. We also watched it
the other night just to de stress a bit. This time the meal was about
half way thru the show.

I'd still rather have a cat or dog for pet than rat.

Me, too if I'm being honest.

True, and very often just listening to a cat's purr is a good
de-stresser.

Looking on the search engine I see that Petro has merged with TA (Truck
Stops of America) which had a decent, if not quite as good as Petro's restaurant. If you went down I-95 there were Petro stops w/Iron Skillet restaurants in New York, New Jersaey (bordentown where I first met them)
and a couple in Virginia (Raphine and Glade Spring)

Once again, I'm glad you guys got home and dry without any extra excitement.

the skillet and simmer until the pasta/rice/potatoes are

Hi Dave,

We headed over to western NY as Steve had left something at his sister's
house that we use with the camper--some sort of voltage converter. Went
from there down Rt. 15 until we joined up with 17, to I-95 in
Fredericksburg, VA. It's our usual route to/from western NY (exept
usually taking I-81 instead of so much 15) so we don't go near NYC/NJ.
Last year we came down thru Mass./Conn. to cross into NY above NYC and
over to I-81. I've seen signs for the Iron Skillet along I-95 in SC, in
the Florence area IIRC, but we've never stopped for gas/meal there.

Once again, I'm glad you guys got home and dry without any extra excitement.

It was a trip to remember, that's for sure!
