Potato Chips-Kyla Style

Got Mama to have a go at these – not quite right yet – think the guitar she used was the wrong type. Hey ho! I’ll make sure she keeps trying!

Here’s her attempt …..

When I had pancreatitis, the dogtor told me I had to be on a low fat diet for the rest of my life. The pancreas processes fat, he said. Restricting me from eating anything does not sit well with me. We did come up with Kyla Chips. You take a sweet potato, peel it and use a mandolin to make thin slices. If you don’t have a mandolin, a guitar might do in a pinch. Put the slices in a 350F (175C) on parchment paper on a tray and put into the oven. After about 10 minutes, turn the slices over and give it 8 more. You’ll get the hang of the time depending on how thin you slice the potato. You use no oil, no seasonings, no salt, no anything. Here’s my Kyla Chip tray

Remembering my brother Gus

Oh My! I cannot believe that a whole year has passed since Gussie left us for the Rainbow Bridge. I do make sure he keeps putting in an appearance on what is now classified as “Bobby’s Blog” as I’m currently the only Sparhawk Scottie in residence.

Gus, looking handsome, one of our favourite photos

I hope you don’t mind a re-run of last years post photos, the one we did just before he crossed the bridge.

Now I don’t want you guys to be all down and depressed ‘cos for some of you you’ll be getting ready to celebrate Independence Day – so I’ll leave you to your preparations and hope that you all have a grrrreat day. For the rest of my friends around the world, I hop you also have a grrreat day, but in a quieter fashion!

Flashback Fridays

Now then! I thought the last Flashback was a long time ago, back to 2001, but this one – well, this goes back millions of years …..

A dinosaur footprint. This was taken at Staffin Beach on the Isle of Skye. It’s quite famous for it’s footprints of dinosaurs. There’s quite a few, but this is, apparently, by far the best. Oh, and the photo of me ….. yes over to your right and down a bit, yes that’s right, the black & white one of me on the rocks, well thats taken up there on the Isle of Skye. Brilliant place, I miss visiting it. I’ll have to have words with them and perhaps we can do a visit next year and get some up to date photos for you guys.

Anyway ….. enjoy this footprint!

Grrrrrreat idea Ranger, Frankie and Ernie

Buxton!

Took them camping in my motorhome – all the way to Buxton for 8 days. It’s only 45 minutes from home, nestled in the heart of Derbyshire. Had a grrrreat time, lots of walking, eating and laying around relaxing.

Here’s just a few photos. Mama especially likes the “red” photo – when you see it, you’ll know what I mean!
