Saturday's Storm Watchers





Along with many of our blogging pals, we will be in the line of severe storms heading through the middle of our country today.  We are expecting the worst of the storms after dark. But we thought we would get started early on our weather watch.


Lightning: I will look this way.  Ciara, what is wrong with your ears?

Thunder:  How funny, they keep talking about loud Thunder, I am NOT loud.

Lightning:  OK, I am watching this way now.  What are you two doing to help?

Breaktime:  Let's all look at Mom - she has that jerky!!!

And our fourth Storm Watcher, Phantom, has his radar hard at work from his bunker inside.  He is pretty sure there will be "some weather" here sometime today or tonight.  Mom says Ciara is a bit bothered by storms and that is why she has her funny ears on.


Many of you had some questions about the chicken jerky.   In a nutshell, there is nothing on the chicken, no spices, no salt, nothing at all.  The thinner you can slice the chicken, the more jerky-like it will become.  We cooked ours for about 3 hours at 200 degrees in the oven.  Mom says the recipe she used said it can be kept for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator or you can freeze it and use as needed.  We won't have to worry about it being around THAT long.  You really should try it - so easy and so good.


We are hoping all stay safe from this impending outbreak of storms.


Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning

  6. Happy Saturday Woos, I loved seeing all your expressions but I'm hoping no really bad storms come your way, especially tornados. I also love the chicken jerkey recipe your mom made-when we get a pup, I'll have to try it. Have a great day~Noreen

  10. We had all day rains yesterday, just soft stuff, and today its beautiful blue skies and sunshine. We don't want any storm to come our way and don't want it to hurt our pals either. So just be very careful and do like Phantom does, just get inside and keep safe!

    Mom says she will make me chicken jerky next Monday. I'm gonna make sure she remembers too!

    Kisses,

  11. I hope the storms stay FAR FAR away.. just some nice gentle rain fur your grass and flowers.

    Hey... my mom... who makes a lot of jerky in a year.. both Deer and Beef and Chicken.. says here is a tip fur you.
    PARTIALLY freeze the meat BEFORE trying to slice it. That makes the cutting MUCH Easier.. butt be prepared fur some COLD fingers.

  14. We will say a prayer that you are safe and I have paws crossed. We have rain here today(Michigan)but so far nothing bad like they are having in other places. I am just like Phantom for storms, Mommy got some calming chews from the Vetlady and lately I seem to sleep during the storms for some reason. Tell Phantom I would be snuggling with him if I could. The pictures of the beauties are so nice, Ciarras ears are funny.

  19. We are thinking of you all and hope you are safe from the storms!! Hope they aren't too strong. LadyBug is terrified of the thunder and will usually hide out under a bed until she is positive all storms are gone! The chicken jerky recipe sounds terrific! Thanks so much and have a great weekend....xoxo Chloe and LadyBug

  23. Uh oh...hope there isn't a lot of storm damage like the big roofing project last year! :)

    Lightning, you must be the only "pawfessional" weather watcher around...those other 2 weren't paying any attention to what you were...or else you're the worst weather watcher around! Haha! :)

    Be safe and Riley says she can commiserate with Ciara--she doesn't like storms either!

  44. Those storms veered off to the north and just missed us. I never mind when that happens. I hope Phantom made it through alright and didn't get too spooked if any of those storms were close to you guys.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ciara sure did have her funny ears on. I hope that you are still safe, and that Phantom has calmed down.

    Isn't it nice when they all finally look at you for the big photo?

    I love your banner photo.
