Day 3

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I start thinking about my puppy's health and she got sick.  I mean vomiting and diarrhea . . . all night!  The vet didn't find anything suspicious on examination, and put little Lola on a "bland" diet of chicken and rice.  Honestly, I'm afraid she's going to get accustomed to the good stuff and won't eat dog food anymore!

So I needed to cook chicken . . . and why not check Pinterest for the answers?  I found the following post discussing the differences between boiling and poaching.

I have to admit, the poaching method did come out with much juicier chicken.  I've boiled chicken breasts before for salads, and the meat seems to dry out terribly.  For Lola I just poached in water - no fluff or flavor.  Maybe bland chicken won't be too tempting.

Scratch that.  She just finished her bowl and is snooping for more.  Sigh.  She's hooked.

  1. Like we didn't expect it. When she finds something she likes she snoops like crazy until finding it... Toys in a Walmart sack or, funnier yet, pig ears from in the sealed bag inside a purse!!
