RE: Scalloped Potatoes and Pork Chops : My first foodies post

Thanks for the encouragement after my first post. Wasn't sure anyone was even going to see it. I'm glad at least one person did :) Horray!

As for getting eaten? My homestay student ate a bit. My son are half a pork chop and a few potatoes then I got the typical "I'll eat it later".

Frustrating but I have a fussy crew at home. At least I try though.

As for Nico (my furry friend) he gets lots of treats but I try not to give him human food. Well, there are a couple exceptions. He loves cheese so much if I'm cooking with cheese he always gets a bit. If I'm eating an apple or banana he begs until he gets a small piece. Finally when my wife and I are eating popcorn he gets a few pieces.

Now he sometimes steals food when we aren't looking but he's really sneaky. He'll placidly ignore food on the counter and go nowhere near it....until everyone leaves the room and he knows no-one is looking.

Again, thanks for dropping by :)

Oh, I saw it, and it caught my attention immediately!

When my son was your son's age, he always had a good appetite. The truth is that he had a good appetite since he was born, haha.

You know, at home, we have two dogs, two mongrels; one is 13 and the other is 9 months old. They eat cooked and raw meats twice everyday, and occasionally, I add some raw vegetables to their food, all without salt or seasoning. This diet has kept all our dogs healthy and strong and their vision almost intact into their old age. Our friends' dogs that are fed dog food exclusively usually develop cataracts by the seventh year of life. I don't know much about dog foods or dog nutrition and surely the dog food you get there is much better than what I get here in Venezuela (or at least better than what I can afford), but I think Nico could use a couple of grilled chops a month and he'd appreciate it more than your son 😂

Nice to meet you, @tergan 😁

There are certainly different levels of dog food here in Canada.

There is the "cheaper" store bought kibble (about $24/bag) which I refuse to feed my dog because its low quality with a lot of fillers.

I personally give "Canadian naturals" which uses actual meat, vegetables and grains. It costs about twice as much ($51/bag) but I feel better giving my dog something resembling "real food".

My sons like to feed him from their dinner plates but the problem is people food tends to be high in salt which is bad for dogs. Instead I typically make things like dried turkey or dried beef snacks for Nico. It's 100% natural meat but with no added preservatives or spices. It travels well as its dried and keeps well in the freezer.

Somehow I don't think dried dog food would make the foodies be hive community posts :)

Glad to meet you and hope I can hear more about Venezuela :) I'm always curious but haven't been able to find out much.
