Veggies Au Gratin

This is just like scalloped potatoes, except you use fresh veggies instead of sliced potatoes.  Let's get cooking.  Choose 2 lbs. of mixed veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots.  Presteam these to just fork tender and stop cooking by imersing steamed veggies in ice water.  Quickly drain all water off 'till dry.
2 lbs. mixed veggies, steamed.
1/2 red onion, sliced
2 cups low fat milk
1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3/4 cup flour
salpepper
fresh nutmeg, grated
In large caserole dish, layer steamed veggies with sliced onion, flour, and cheese, then pour enough milk over the top that it just covers mixture (you may need more than called for.
top with desired amt of salt and pepper.  Sprinkle 1 tsp nutmeg over top and bake at 350' until brown and bubbly on top.  Serves 6 for main dish and 8 for side.  Enjoy!

Dogshow Time

So, let's see if I can get blogging... Rusty-Boy has done well this Spring taking a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in his class a few weekends ago in Dixon California.  He will be showing often this summer and we hope he gains his champianship by this Fall.  The whole process starts with a bath, then grooming and stacking.

He is so good in the bath, that he gets in all by himself.

His nails get clipped.

Practice makes oh so perfect.

The Judge is impressed.

Rusty-Boy is on the far left, and these are his litter mates, and Mom is in the middle. Go Redheads!

Heidi wins Best in Spectator every time!  See you at the next dog show!
