They showed it to us in 10th or 11th grade “health” class!

Even back then it was ancient.

It was before anyone I knew had ever heard of drugs or marijuana, but it was so melodramatic, we laughed at it anyway.

Even the teacher visibly rolled her eyes…

But it was part of the required curriculum.

Years later, I bought a copy on VHS…
But I lent it to somebody, and never got it back.

Of course, it had already done its work of keeping me on the straight and narrow…

Wow. Someone else who hates rye bread.

I also hate sauerkraut, and Swiss is nowhere near my favorite cheese…

But I do like corned beef…

And i hate Reuben sandwiches.

I’m right there with you except I don’t eat those sandwiches. I don’t see how anyone can like sauerkraut. And don’t try to fool me with Swiss cheese. And yes, I do like corned beef. Although my husband likes sauerkraut, he doesn’t fix it. He does, however, eat sardines which are just as bad at smelling up the house.

I don’t eat them either!

I make corned beef and cabbage, with onions, potatoes and carrots…

The leftover corned beef makes great sandwiches… but with no rye bread, sauerkraut, cheese, or mustard.

At home or at the deli, I have them hot, on whole wheat bread, or occasionally a sourdough roll…

With ketchup.

I’ve come perilously close to being kicked out of delis, Judaism, and even my own family for ordering it that way, but I stand my ground!

Because you have an open mind. I would never touch a sandwich or anything else tha had even one ingredient I dislike. I applaud you, JP, for even trying a Reuben.

Look closely, and you’ll see that the picture shows three quite different half sandwiches!

The top one is a grilled Reuben… the bread is brown and toasty, the meat warm and juicy, and the cheese melted.

The bottom one is the same only cold. I don’t know whether they’re about to grill it, or serve it cold.

But the middle one is just plain corned beef…

If that’s whole wheat bread, or sourdough, even pumpernickel that’s unseeded and not too rye-ish,

throw some ketchup on it, and I’ll eat it, thanks.

🙂

What does Cleo have against dead cow, for Basset’s sake?

With this song, Reetha introduced “Sock it to Me” into the American vernacular.

I always love Baby Dean!

Just roll with it, Cleo.

Or in it, for that matter.

I’ll take her share. 🙂
Especially if there is some kind of sausage involved.

Yeah, I would think a dead cow would be something Cleo would absolutely love to find in the house!

Even if it were slightly more aged than a human would appreciate… or a lot… a dog who rolls in mail-order dead animals would be thrilled to sniff a bovine aroma upon opening the door.

Sauerkraut, OTOH, is an acquired taste.
One that Cleo, apparently, has never acquired.

And frankly, neither have I.

It’s not from lack of exposure… my mother loved it…
She didn’t make her own from scratch, the way her mother did… But she’d grown up eating it.

It was on the dinner table now and then, with our corned beef or hot dogs… we also went to kosher delis.

I like corned beef, I love cabbage… cole slaw, stuffed cabbage, cabbage borscht…. I eat pickles of almost all descriptions, sour, salty, or sweet.

I just don’t like pickled cabbage. No sauerkraut.
So sue me.
You can have my kimchi, as well.

So what I’m trying to figure out is what Cleo could have said…

What smell a dog would use to insult the smell of sauerkraut by comparison.

Calling it a rotten carcass would be a compliment… Even a 7-days-beached whale.

Is there actually anything worse to their noses than sauerkraut?

I knew a dog who hated pet shampoo…If he smelled clean or floral, he’d be frantic till he could escape, and find anything to roll in that would reverse his bath.

If there were no dead squirrels or rotted snails, he’d grumpily make do with dirt… But you could tell from his expression that wasn’t good enough

Oops… that got away. Easy to accidentally post on this tablet.

I was only going to add that I HAD a dog, though, who loved perfume, and floral scents.

She’d stop on walks to sniff roses, and chewed the honeysuckle in our back yard….

But she most adored a neighbor’s gardenia bush, and would try to drag me into her yard.

Besides, no humans would get it if Cleo said “Pee-yew, it smells like a flower shop in here.”

She doesn’t like the sauerkraut because she can’t roll in it, but according to P1 she likes Wham.

Good morning all… Back to PT! Yay!

NATIONAL AMPERSAND DAY â€“ NATIONAL PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY NURSES DAY

Yes.
But those bullets stick to killing only themselves most of the time.
Except when it’s foggy and they crash into the end of jammed traffic…
There are speed limit signs, but a general speed limit to 130 km/h would be wise (the car manufacturer lobby doesn’t want that). With only 2 lanes per direction, I’m sure those signs indicate “only” 100 to 120…

Aha! That’s the secret! Just heat up some really old sauerkraut and Cleo (Her Sweetness) will gladly eat her kibble!
