Hey, are ya’ll out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Did ya’ furget us? We kinda fell off the planet fur a few days and didn’t tell anypawdy, didn’t we?. And look’it, I’s getting to write all the postys this week.
Getting to Raena? Hmmmmpht You jumped on me and ran to mommy furst.
Yeah, well, I’s still writing today’s posty. Right?
We’ll see. Depends on what you wanna say.
I’s thought we needed to ‘pawlogize fur disappearing like that. A couple awnties sent emails checkin’ in on us, and we really did purreciate that. Things just got to be a little too much fur mommy and she just kinda shut down. Ya’ know havin’ (on top of the regular pains and purroblems) an infected mouth and all that pain constantly can sometimes make ya’ not be able to think. And thinkin’ she could lose the benefits she has that make it so she can hire somepawdy to help her, was really stressful. We had several peeps come by and fill out applications to help mommy, and we’ve got our paws crossed that one of them works out.
Raena, ya’ need to ‘splain that the DHS nurse told mommy to keep trying to hire somepawdy till they made a final determination.
You just did sissy. Anyways, the DHS nurse called mommy yesfurday and told her she could keep her benefits fur now. and urged her to get somepawdy in here to help her. Ya’ know, kinda like mommy wasn’t tryin’. You can’t make somepawdy work that doesn’t wanna. The work ethics of peeps these days is just pawful. She also said she worried ‘bout mommy bein’ depressed and all. And wished she had some kinda support or at least somepawdy to talk too. Mommy told her fanky fanks but not to worry, she has us and we have ya’ll.
Anyways, I’s wanted to talk ‘bout somethin’ else today. You all know how sis Dezi’s always meowin’ on ‘bout how I’s messin’ with the new AeroGarden. Well, You should see her with the garden. Ya’ know we got a few sprouts last week and mommy removed those cool caps. No, she didn’t let me have them. She said she was savin’ them to use again. Anyways, that’s not the point. But those caps sure do scoot across the floor well. And they’re just the right size fur carryin’ in one’s mouth. Again, I’s getting’ off track. Let me tell ya’ ‘bout sis Dezi and the AeroGarden.
Ifin ya’ don’t know, Dill is an herb that grows really tall, really fast and has feathery leaves. Mommy says she doesn’t know many uses fur dill outside of pickles, which she doesn’t like, but it makes a purretty plant. And of course it’s feathery leaves was just too much temptation fur sis Dezi.
Was Not, Raena!!! Me was just checkin’ on the purrogress of everything.
Yeah, right. Is that what you call takin’ a bite outta mommys’ herbs?
Well what about you runnin’ off with the whole pod? At least what me did didn’t hurt anythin’. After all, mommy said she was ‘posed to purrune them as they grew so they’d get bigger and floofier. All me did was give the dill a bit of purrunin’. Altho’ me doesn’t think me’ll be doin’ that again, least not any time soon. It doesn’t taste very good. Now me knows why mommy doesn’t like pickles. Me doesn’t either. Well, except maybe one of those tickle pickles mes seen ‘round the blogosphere. Me might like one filled with nip.
A nip pickle? I’s want a nip pickle, sissy. Where’s the nip pickle?
We don’t have one Raena. Have you already furgotten all the pawsum toys we got fur Christmas?
Oh no sissy. I’s luvs all the toys we got fur Christmas, and your Meowday. I’s just thought you meant mommy was growin’ nip pickles in her garden.
Yeah, right. Altho’ mommy did say that when she gets some lettuce she would start us a pod of grass too. At least we’ll get somethin’.
When’s this gonna happen sissy?
Soon Raena, soon. We need to wrap it up now so we can try to get ‘round and visit our furiends.
You’re right sissy. Furst let’s link up with Rascal, Rocco and their pawtastic co hosts fur the weekly Pet Parade. Oh and ifin you would like to donate to mommys teeth fund, you can donate directly thru paypal to our email address: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com that’s lexi (dot) dezi (at) Yahoo (dot) com, or the fundraiser here. We really purreciate all your luvs, support, purrayers and donations. I’s hope you enjoyed seein’ that it’s not just me messing with mommys’ garden. We’ll be by to see ya’ll as soon as we can; we’re really behind.
Till the next time…………………………………..Be Blest!!!
Do you (your peeps) eat dill?
If so, how do you use it?
Do you think mommy should grow us some grass in one of those pods?

Dad does grow dill and he uses with lemon on fish, lemon dill sauce is very good and even makes frozen fish filets taste fresh. just a liitle lemon juice, a pat of butter and some nice fresh dill tastes so very good. Dad grows us grass in little pots on the window sill and he alternates them so we always have some fresh grass. He has hanging pots for catnip outside. (They didn’t used to be hanging but once the neighborhood kitties found them they ate every last leaf, so now dad just pulls some levees off for them and the plants can keep growing!

The frozen filets we have will be lovely with the mixture you mentioned. Shoko indeed loves the hanging nip idea. We must try it this year.
Thanks Pete and dad

Hi, beautiful ladies, nice to see you! Here in Finland dill is used almost in every fish food, the taste is very strong, so we use it just some tiny pieces.
Sending you all warm hugs,
Kosmo and mom.

You can dice dill and put it in either olive oil or cream cheese for a tasty dip (bread sticks, veggies, etc. But you should first taste it to make sure you like the flavor. As a kid, mom used the seeds + cottage cheese to make the most delicious bread ever…. wish I had that recipe!

I love your suggestions Jeanne. I didn’t grow until this year and have found I love it on so many things. Cooked carrots with a sprinkling of dill after the carrots are drained is awesome. Thanks for the site. I’ll look into more ideas.

I love dill, but I also love pickles so if you don’t like pickles then you probably won’t like the dill. I put dried dill in hamburg patties, matzo ball soup and potato salad. I am sorry your Mom is having such a tough time. I think a regular doctor would give an antibiotic to help with the mouth infection. I am praying for your Mom. XO

We MISSED you ladies on Wednesday. I kept checking back and checking back thinking I wasn’t getting an e-mail notification and then I got worried. I’m glad you three are back! Wow. Dezi, those pictures are pretty convincing … I think you got busted. I’d tell you to blame Raena for giving you the idea … but that’d imply you’re not smart enough to come up with it on your own … so you might just have to accept responsibility 😉
You can use dill on veggies, creamy type things (dill dip), and potatoes. Here are some ideas … http://www.sunset.com/food-wine/kitchen-assistant/dill-recipes/view-all

Fanky fank ya’ll. Mommy hated dat she felt so bad dat we couldn’t post. But we told her it would be okay, and we gave her extra cuddles.
Dezi: yeah, Raena had nuffin’ to do with mes inspection. Dat dill was growin’ so fast me thought it might be a new kinda grass. Mommy does try to grow us grass offen. Unfurtunately she usually kills it just as fast as it can grow. MOL Anyways, at just means ya’ gotta get to it quick while it’s still good. Dat wasn’t grass. Me can tell ya’ dat fur sure. Fanks fur da link and ideas. Mommy doesn’t like it much more than me did, and doesn’t typically have da kinds of food mentioned to use it with. It’s okay, these were da pods dat came with da garden and so were really just to give mommy an idea of how da garden works. Mommy plans to grow lettuce fur salads, which da awnty who gave it to her knew. We’re sendin’ lots of hugs and much luc right back at ya’.
