The other night, I made my girl a fabulous dinner that I found over at Claudia's cookeatfret, Chicken with Peanut Sesame Noodles.
It fit in perfectly with our new eating plan. Whole wheat noodles. Chicken. Just a touch of honey in the sauce.
I flipped open the dishwasher that I'd ran the night before.
Her: "Are these clean?"
Me: "Yep, ran 'em last night."
We each grabbed a bowl. Filled them with deliciousness and sat down for dinner. We oohed and ahhhed over the peanut sauce. My girl had cooked the chicken to perfection. It was just barely done and melted in my mouth.
It was by far the best dinner that I've cooked in a long time. And with very little effort. The sauce is a snap to whip up in the blender and coats the pasta perfectly.
We sit on the couch for a few minutes talking about how wonderful dinner was. We allow the dogs lick the tiny bits that were left in the bottom. We take our bowls to the kitchen.
She opens up the dishwasher.
Her: "These aren't CLEAN!"
Me: "Did you open the dishwasher again after I set it on delay last night?"
Silence as the reality sets in. Both of our mothers have told us not to let the dogs lick the bowls after dinner.
Now we know why.

Never Lick the Bowl

They say a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's. Does that help at all?
lol....that is funny. You know what would have made it even funnier? If you had company over for dinner too:)
I guess you could say that you are being environmentally conscious .....think of the water you saved by letting the dogs clean the dishes:)
Karen: As it turned out, they were my cereal bowls that the dogs DON'T lick. But it just as easily could have been licked!
Mackey: I wouldn't have to worry about my dinner parties being too crowded anymore! LOL
Sounds mighty tasty.
Hec, I sleep with my furkid, a little dog slobber never hurt anyone. A kiss from the pooch is always welcome.
Doh!
EWW! First visit here, from skylers blogroll. . That was hilarious!!
OMG whoops! LOL
Reminds me of this old joke:
A man went to visit his 90 year old grandfather and while eating the breakfast of eggs and bacon prepared for him, he noticed a film-like substance on his plate. So he says, "Grandfather, are these plates clean?" His grandfather replies, "Those plates are as clean as cold water can get them, so go on and finish your meal." That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed many little black specks around the edge of his plate so again he asked, "Grandfather are you sure these plates are clean?" Without looking up from his burger, the grandfather says, "I told you those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them, now don't ask me about it anymore." Well, later that day, they were on their way out to get dinner. As he was leaving the house, grandfather's dog who was lying on the floor started to growl and would not let him pass. "Grandfather, your dog won't let me out." Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching, his grandfather shouted, "Coldwater, get your ass out of the way!"
Hello.... HELLO..... you're both still here I take it? ((wink))
I don't think you have anything to worry about, but I'd freak out too a tad. Come on, there are people who literally let their dogs lick them right on the mouth.
You're fine! But it was very entertaining to say the least!
HAHAHA! Oh no.
That would give me pause for a bit. But that does look very yummy!
That looks like a great meal! I think I'd eat it off of a rhino's ass it looks so good!
That looks like an amazing meal
My Grandmother used to say - usually when we dropped food and ate it anyway - "there's clean dirty and there's dirty dirty"
Your dishes were clean dirty :)
thanks for stopping by - I love your comments and always meant to check out your blog but well - life is so feakin' daily!
HA! excellent. Hee hee hee. Anyone bark yet? Oh well. You let your critters kiss you don't you. Uhmm you just went a little further this time. Kinda like french kissing, your dog. Great story. Thanks for sharing :)
LMAO! That's okay, dogs lick you, so why not your bowls.
Looks awesome nonetheless!!!
My goodness! Sounds like my house. Dinner looks yummy, but what wine should I bring?
Doc
Skylars Dad beat me to the Coldwater joke.......oh well.
You know what's funny?
Dog saliva doesn't bother me at ALL.
Human saliva grosses me right out.
That's funny. Dinner looked very yummy. I added you to my blogroll. Stop by if you get a chance.
First Jay, now you! I'm hungry!
That looked good enough that even if I had known that the dogs licked it I'd still have eaten it. :)
They were "guy" clean.... That means no visible chunks of food dried on, and no odd odors from 12" or more away from the bowl or plate...
Ewwwww!!!!! Now that is just plain nasty.
Funny as hell, but nasty nonetheless. I hope you learned a valuable lesson from this. :)
Egad!!
Actually, since my food stamps got cancelled I'm just sitting here drooling over the picture. I think I'll print it out, microwave it and eat it with chopsticks.
*snort* I have tears running down my face!
looks like an excellent meal...but ewwww on the dog lick...
Our dogs always rinse our dishes however we fully believe in using the old fashioned way of dish cleaning. Water, dish washing liquid and 4 hands, two for washing and 2 for drying. Much more reliable and you know what is and isn't clean :)
Grooooose!!!
Thanks for the teehee
Um, I don't know why that would really matter since you kiss Trace on the mouth ANYWAY!! LOL
My belly laugh of the day!!! We've done that too which is why it tickled me I think...
Good gawd....that looks so scrumptious!!!! My tummy is growling now thank.you.very.much!!! :)
That looks good. Reminds me of my favorite Thai dish.
LMAO... I feel guilty laughing at that but it's funny as hell.
My dog's spit is so slippery slimy that I have to put licked dishes in the dishwasher. It is just too icky for me to think about. I kiss dogs on the lips all the time but I figure it's been at least five minutes since they ate horse poop. (Sorry)
oh my god! I just spit coffee all over my keyboard! I hate to be the one to laugh at another's pain, but that was friggin' hilarious!
I just read your suicide story. Before I read it I was going to tell you I like having you visit and I like having a real live lesbian to talk to. That feels like a pretty shallow comment now. You have such courage. I'm privileged that you visit my blog. Can I put you on my roll?
Looks delicious, but shit happens sometimes... hahaha :)
Secret ingredient? Special sauce? You know, that's NOT what they mean when they say "a bit of the hair of the dog"... just sayin'!
*gigglesnort*
