Hey, Let's all put forth the effort and keep this board alive, eh

Hey, Let's all put some effort into keeping this board open 

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed of all fat and cut into bite sized pieces
2 cups frozen mixed pepper and onion stir fry
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup fat-free, low sodium or regular chicken broth
1 (14-1/2 ounce) can low sodium or regular diced tomatoes
1/2 cup dark raisins
1 large bay leaf
1-1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
salt to taste (optional)

In a nonstick skillet coated with nonstick spray coating, cook the chicken pieces over medium heat, turning frequently, until they begin to brown. Add the onion and pepper mixture, garlic, oil and 1 tablespoon of the broth to the skillet. Stir up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Raise the heat and bring to a boil.

Lower heat again and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes or until the onion is slightly softened. Add the remaining broth, tomato, raisins, bay leaf, thyme, cumin, allspice,

cloves and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered about 20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has cooked down slightly. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Add salt to taste (if desired). Serve at once or transfer to a casserole, cover and refrigerate. The chicken will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Holidays are typically filled with special food, special friends and lots of activity. During these times of celebration, it is good to keep in mind that holidays can also be a time when you want to use extra care in keeping your pet family safe and healthy. Here are some tips to help achieve this:

If you plan to entertain, keep in mind crowds of people and holiday festivities can frighten animals. Make sure you have included a place for your pets that is away from the noise and the crowds, someplace they can go where they feel safe and secure.

If you are a cat owner, keep an eye on your cat's litter box use. Disruptions such as moving the furniture, parties, etc. can cause your feline to stop using its litter box. Try making gradual changes to avoid causing this to happen.

Do not give your pet holiday treats such as bones, table scraps or sweets. Bones can splinter and cause blockages or worse, any sudden change of diet, even for just one meal, can give your dog or cat stomach pain and diarrhea and chocolates can be poisonous to dogs.
Use judgement and make sure your holiday decorations are set up to be safe around animals. A Christmas tree can tip easily, shiny glass ornaments can be irresistable to cats and dogs and burning candles that are within a pet's reach can be knocked over, causing a fire.

1/2 cup margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup mashed bananas
2 beaten eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Cream together the margarine and sugar. Add bananas and eggs. Mix together well. Add flour, soda, salt and mix together well. Stir in nuts. Pour into greased and floured 2-quart loaf pan. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees. Makes one loaf.

Whole Ham:

Place the ham on a cutting board and trim off 2 or 3 slices, parallel to its length, from the thin side of the ham. Turn the ham so that it rests on the flat side created from trimming off the slices.
 
 
Hold firmly with a carving fork and starting at the shank end, cut slices across the ham, down to the bone.
 
 
After cutting the slices, cut parallel along the bone to release the slices. Place slices on a serving platter.

Turn the ham and continue to carve slices in the same manner. 

The Dog Lover

The dog lover often loves their dog for many reasons. Dogs are playful and attentive to their owners. They love to spend their time hiding under their owner's chair or chasing their tail. It just seems as if they are fun loving creatures. Sure, they bark and they can be very annoying when they want your attention even when you are busy. But, they won't fail to greet you when you come home and you are where their loyalty lies no matter what.

The Cat Lover

On the other side of the coin, we have the cat lover. Cats are more independent and more self centered. But, they can provide much affection to their owners nonetheless. They can be playful when they want to be. They can also be full of personality, good or bad. Cat lovers love this about their animals. They are themselves. Of course, they can be rather snooty to some. They are independent and they certainly won't greet you unless it is in their best interest to do so.

The Conclusion

While it seems that many people have an overall preference for one type of animal to the next, there is nothing to say that they can not switch from being a dog lover to being a cat lover. But, it is unlikely that they will receive the same attention from their pet as they did with the other species. Dog lovers will forever value their best friend while cat lovers will always value their cat's personality.

If you are a dog lover or a pet lover and are thinking of venturing to the other side, consider the various differences in these animals before you do. You'll find that many times, it is the qualities that the pet offers that makes them the right, the most attractive choice to you.
