As those that have followed me for a while know, we lost our Winston in May and Mason just a few weeks ago. I'm keeping my promise to them both of adopting 2 more shelter dogs/pups in their honor the beginning of October. A year ago we lost our Poe and when we adopted Elvira from the shelter we gifted them over $300 in toys to be given to new adoptions in Poe's name. We want to do that again in both Winston's and Mason's names. Every adopted pup needs a nice toy and that's what we want to do!

So during the month of September, I'm collecting donations to hopefully buy several boxes of toys to donate when we adopt the new kids. If you would like to help, even $1! Here are the ways to do it!

It's a cold snowy night here in Saint Louis and we wanted something warm and filling! I made a childhood favorite - Porcupine Balls! The are awesome with mashed potatoes and some green beans! Also a nice Godfather! (Scotch and Amaretto) in a nice themed tiki for tonight - Frankenberry!

Porcupine Balls
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
½ cup uncooked long grain white rice
½ cup water
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon celery salt
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup low sodium chicken stock, or more as needed
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Directions
Gather all ingredients.
Mix ground beef, rice, water, onion powder, salt, celery salt, garlic powder, and black pepper thoroughly in a bowl until well combined. Roll mixture into 12 meatballs.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place meatballs into the hot skillet; cook, turning so they are evenly cooking, until well browned, about 10-15 minutes.
Spoon meatballs into the bottom of a crockpot
Drain and discard excess grease. But save any rice in the pan to mix with sauce.
Pour tomato sauce, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar into the skillet; reduce heat to medium-low and cook til sauce is heated through
Pour over meatballs in crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours
Stir in more stock if the sauce becomes too dry.
Spoon onto plate and spoon some of the gravy over the top
Enjoy!

Just got this on the Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA) newsletter!

This Valentine's Day, love knows no breed!
You won't want to miss this extra special adoption event happening at APA Brentwood and APA Olivette.
February 14th only, you can go on a blind date with the adoptable pets of APA!

Here are all the details:
Where: Both APA Brentwood and APA Olivette
When: February 14th from 10am-6pm

When you enter the shelter, you will scan a QR code, showing you all the profiles of the potential dogs or cats you could meet!

Once you've found one you vibe with, you can let the front desk know, and they will set you up in a meeting room.

If you adopt your blind date, their adoption fee is waived!
