Grub & Pup

Skinny Sinigang...
Sinigang n. (see/knee/guh/ng)
A tamarind based Filipino soup. Can be cooked using pork, meat, fish, chicken, or shrimp. Usual vegetables are onions, tomatoes( I know, it's a fruit) radish, spinach, and green beans.

My "skinny" version is made with Kale... (that's the green leafy stuff)


As you can see we made it with shrimp. Shrimp is low in fat but high in cholesterol. But... "Studies show the high percentage of good fats in shrimp lowers the part that cholesterol plays in the body."
It was quite delicious if you ask me... The hubby got these big succulent prawns from Costco and boy was it delicious. As for the kale.. well it is tougher than I am used to. Kale is the extreme opposite of the silky smooth texture of spinach. But knowing that the Kale is better for you helps you appreciate it.

Puppy 101...
This past weekend we stayed at my in-laws. That means Mimie is left out in the backyard the whole time. Well when we were ready to leave I went outside to get Mimie all packed I found her bag (the one she goes into) is soaking wet from the sprinklers. So we improvised... Here is what my father in law came up with... See that hole on the side of the box (not the one Mimie's head is through). Well that is the size of the other hole that Mimie's head is through. How did she do that? We have no idea!  
 Yup! She is one crazy puppy! Oh Mimie!
