Very expensive recipe

We have all heard the urban myth of the Marshall Field's cookie recipe. And yes, the recipe is wonderul.. but that is a different story. I completed posting the recipe for the Granola yesterday afternoon and as I was typing the recipe the idea of small dish of yogurt and granola for an afternoon snack sounded very good. So, I waundered to the kitchen after the blog was posted and made myself a small dish of strawberry yogurt and some homemade granola. YUM. But, the second bite sounded funny and OUCH. I broke a crown and cracked the tooth beneath the crown and was quickly on the way to the dentist. I had to have the tooth removed and I am not a happy camper today. OUCH!!!!! So, enjoy the granola very carefully. I'm not sure that my batch will taste that good after yesterday afternoon. But, I did find a wonderful new dentist Marshpoint Dentistry - Natalie J. Wermuth, D.D.S. 107 Charlotte Road, Suite H, Savannah (Whitemarsh Island) near Publix 912-898-0090 - www.marshpointdentistry.com
tell her that Sue Bentley sent you and mention the granola recipe. It was the best experience that I have had with a dentist and a procedure that is typically not very pleasant to say the least. She is wonderful. THANKS Dr. Wermuth!!!!!

Tybee Island Granola

Thanks for the memories of the snow....

A dear friend and our "daughter"from Lithuania - Asta recently sent this photo of herself "enjoying" the snow. I printed the photo and have it sitting on my desk to remind myself WHY I MOVED TO TYBEE ISLAND!!!!!!! The snow is very pretty in a photo or in my memory, but I also remember the mornings of shoveling the snow, driving in the snow and just living in the cold and then I take a walk on Tybee's beautiful beach in January and it s 50 degrees here today and just beautiful. Thanks for the photo Asta - but, I will stick with Tybee Island. If you are ready to leave the snow behind and enjoy Tybee Island full time, give me a call and we can find you a home.

Recent Price reduction on Tybee Island

I follow the new listings on Tybee Island daily as well as any recent price reductions. Just noticed today that a listing on north end of the island was recently reduced by $200,000. It is a very cute fixer-upper with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It was originally part of Fort Screven and was built (I was told) as a warehouse storage. Priced in the 200's it is great deal for someone wanting to get into the real estate market on Tybee Island. Give me a call and I would be happy to give you more information on the house.

Photo of my dog Ace enjoying the afternoon at the Dog Park

We started the New Year off with a bang. We "Dog Lovers" hang out at the Tybee Dog Park between 3-4pm most afternoons and the human side of the dog park decided that all of the rescue dogs that we did not know their birthday would celebrate their birthdays on New Years Day. So the humans went home and baked home make doggie treats and human treats (peanut butter cookies) for the celebration. New Years Day arrived and it was cold with a brisk wind. But, it did not stop the dog lovers in all of us as well anyone on Tybee that would not show up at a party....come rain, winds.... So, about 20 dogs and their human ended up at the Tybee Dog Park @ 3:00pm on New Years Day. Lots of tail wagging and the treats were passed around including some sparkling cider for the humans. The dogs were all very polite and would sit to receive their treat and then ran off to chase one another. We all had a wonderful time. So, remember if you have a rescue dog how important it is to remember his/her New Years Birthday.
I am also including the recipe for Ace's Dog Cookies
Basic Yeast Dog Treats****
Mix together 3 1/2 cup unbleached flour, 2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup cornmeal 1/2 cup skim milk powder1 tablespoon (or 1 package) dry yeast3 1/2 cups lukewarm chicken or meat brothDissolve the yeast in the lukewarm chicken or meat broth. The richer this broth is, the better your dog will like the biscuits. Let yeast broth mixture set 10 min. Then stir in flour mixture. Roll resulting dough out 1/4" thick. Cut dog biscuit shapes from dough. Brush biscuits with egg wash. Bake on greased cookie sheets at 300* for 45 min. Then turn off oven and leave in overnight to finish hardening. Makes 60 medium-sized biscuits
