LETS TALK DOGS.....AND CHOCOLATE SPICEY SYRUP

Okay, lets talk dogs. Everyone I know has at least one dog if not two. Living in Cabo, all my friends either adopted a street dog or adopted one from the Shelter. The dogs, of course, were so grateful for this new life, they made wonderful companions. I knew all of my friends' dogs names and discussed them as part of a family discussion. In Cabo, when there weren't any telephones, everyone communicated with hand held radios and everyone had a handle, or radio name. Many people went by their dogs names or Two Dog Bob, Three Dog Bob, etc. I didn't even know some of these friends last names but when I addressed them it would be, "Hi, Two Dog, how are you doing?" So, of course, all my life I have had at least one dog. I now have four! Yes, four, two are my sons that I am caring for, PiPi and Poncho. I have my dog Molly, came from the Shelter in Cabo and I now have a stay Pitbull I have named Oreo. Now, if I was to pick a new dog from 100 dogs, Oreo would have been number 100, but I didn't pick him, he picked me. Wandered in as an uncared for, hungry, thirsty big guy looking for a home. He now has one. Being alone, I have grand conversations with my dogs, some listened intently and some have  more interesting things to do, like sniffing the garbage or scratching or looking out the window for squirrels. What would life be without our dogs?

Now, food. I have always felt that I made the best Hot Fudge Sauce in the world and have shared the recipe in the past on this blog but believe me........I have found a new one that is even better. This one has some kick......just enough to make you wanting more. This recipe make quite a bit, you can half it or fill a quart jar and keep in the frig for later. Will last a long time. Just heat enough for your bowl of ice cream and enjoy!
