            -julienne strips 6 sm White onions, peeled

            1 c Brussels sprouts, trimmed

            1 qt Chicken Stock

            Kibble (pages 73-80) [See -below... S.C.] Place chicken pieces in large kettle, add water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, add bay leaf, oregano, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer chicken, covered, for 25 minutes. Add sausage, potatoes, carrots, onions, and Brussels sprouts; continue to cook at a rapid simmer, covered, for 20 minutes longer. Add some stock if mixture begins to dry out.

Makes 2 1/2 to 3 quarts chicken stew. [Heh! Had you guys going with that kibble reference Ill bet. "Ceideburgs finally gone over the edge. A pity..." Picked up a genuine cookbook for dog food yesterday. Its called "Bone Appetit!" Too cute, huh? Since I don even like to cook for myself very much the pooch will just have to make do with leftovers, but it is an interesting book. Lots of doggie lore like the following about Basenjis, the "Silent Stalker" of the recipe title.] Basenjis are depicted in ancient Egyptian scrolls looking exactly as the breed does today. Eventually Basenjis migrated further south in Africa, becoming silent stalkers for tribesmen in the Belgian Congo, where they were discovered by British explorers in the late nineteenth century. With an expressively wrinkled forehead, a tightly up curled tail, and no bark at all, the Basenjis was immediately favored as an export. Fastidiously clean by nature, the Basenjis has a grooming ritual that is similar to a cats and involves licking the entire coat to clean it. The Basenjis chortle, described as an appealing yodel, is its most distinguishing characteristic. MULTI-GRAIN DOG KIBBLE: 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour 1/2 cup soy flour 1 cup cornmeal 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder 1 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/2 cup brewers yeast 1 tablespoon salt 1 large egg 5 tablespoons corn oil 3 cups water Preheat oven to 350F and grease two 13 x 9-inch baking sheets. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat, all-purpose and soy flours, cornmeal, milk powder, oats, brewers yeast, and salt. In a small bowl, combine egg and corn oil. Stir water into dry ingredients, then add egg mixture, mixing well. The batter will be thin. Divide batter between baking sheets, spreading evenly 1/2 inch thick, as though for pizza. Bake for 45 minutes. Cool kibble, then break into small pieces. Store in covered container in refrigerator, or divide into individual servings, place in freezer bags, and freeze. Makes 20 cups kibble. From “Bone Appetit!” by Suzan Anson, New Chapter Press, N.Y. ISBN: 0-942257-13-8

                —–INGREDIENTS—– 1 tb Shortening

                1 lb 1-in Cubed Stew Beef

                1 lg Onion; sliced

                1/2 c Water

                1 sm Carrot; chunked

                1 cn (15 oz) Stewed Tomatoes

                1 1/2 ts My Seasoning (follows)

                A VERY QUICK AND EASY STEW RECIPE Heat the cooker. Add shortening. Brown the meat. Add the vegetables, stewed tomatoes, and water, and place over the meat. Close the cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe and cook 10-12 minutes with pressure regulator rocking slowly. Cool cooker at once. If desired, make a paste of 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 cup of water and stir into stew to thicken.

                Another method of preparing stew is to cook the meat separately 8-10 minutes, then add the vegetables and cook 5 more minutes with the presure regulator rocking slowly. My Seasoning: 1 part garlic powder, 1 part onion powder, 1/2 part black pepper. Mix well before measuring and adding to the recipe. Deidre Anne Penrod, Prodigy Food & Wine Board

                    All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experiences and have a meaning only in reference to these sense-experiences. On the other hand, however, they are products of the spontaneous activity of our minds they are thus in no wise logical consequences of the contents of these sense-experiences. If, therefore, we wish to grasp the essence of a complex of abstract notions we must for the one part investigate the mutual relationships between the concepts and the assertions made about them for the other, we must investigate how they are related to the experiences. — Albert Einstein
