Chetspeak on Sunday
The perp looked around – what nasty little eyes he had! – and saw there was nowhere to go. We were in some kind of warehouse, big and shadowy, with a few grimy high-up windows and tall stacks of machine parts. I couldn’t remember how the warehouse fit in, exactly, or even what the whole case was all about; only knew beyond a doubt, from those nasty eyes and that sour end-of-the-line smell, a bit like those kosher pickles Bernie had with his BLT’s – I’d tried one; once was enough for the kosher pickles, although I always had time for a BLT – that this guy was the perp. I lunged forward and grabbed him by the pantleg. Case closed.
The perp cried out in pain, a horrible, high-pitched sound that made me want to cover my ears. Too bad I can’t do that, but no complaints – I’m happy the way I am (even if my ears don’t match, something I found out about a while back but can’t get into right now). The perp’s noises went on and on and finally it hit me that maybe I had more than just his pantleg. That happened sometimes: my teeth are probably longer than yours and sharper, too. What was that? Yes, the taste of blood. My mistake, but a very exciting one all the same.

Love .Chetspeeak Sundays. Good morning all. First! Has that happened before? You tell me.
9:21 am on January 11th, 2015
Mornin’ CHobbit! Why in the name of dog are you up so early! Congrats on first (we think). Love that Chetspeak. Chet really gets on and off and on track so well!
WE had our Egg Day, another thing we love. We are also keeping an eye on Phillip and the Snowhook gang. Have a surefire Sunday!
9:23 am on January 11th, 2015
BSD, you mentioned having trouble with the race tracker. Be sure to go to the HOME page and choose the Copper Basin 300 2015 or all you will see is from past years. Hope that helps.
9:33 am on January 11th, 2015
Good morning, and Happy Egg Day. Yummmm…we can sorta taste that blood. Does that happen to you?
9:41 am on January 11th, 2015
OH,YES, especially with raw chicken (sorry Fern).
9:44 am on January 11th, 2015
Raw chicken! We had some of that last night, HOH. We had a neck, liver, and heart. Wowzer. We are living large and loving life.
9:48 am on January 11th, 2015
You LUCKY dogs! Raw chicken and Egg Day so close together. The only thing better would be more. (Sorry about yelling, we caught that from BSD.)
9:50 am on January 11th, 2015
Good morning all–[a] “mistake, but a very exciting one…” it’s my youth all over again!” Chet, I feel like you know me–not the blood thing exactly, but so many others…
I saw yesterday’s race pix, but that’s been it so far…the big excitement here is a little more RAIN!!! (Almost half an inch.)
10:03 am on January 11th, 2015
Happy egg and Chetspeak day.
Chet: I can imagine the look on your face when you ate that kosher pickle. Sour much?
DianeC: I think I will bake the chile rellenos next time. Perhaps I didn’t have the oil hot enough but they tasted a bit greasy.
Hope you are feeling better. You reminded me to practice the T’ai Chi. Classes started up again and I’m not the only one who forgot most everything.
CHobbit: Yes!
10:09 am on January 11th, 2015
“What nasty little eyes he had!” That Chet — what a guy.
Happy Chetspeak and Egg Day to all.
10:12 am on January 11th, 2015
“Case closed.” Way to go Chet.
Good morning all.
10:37 am on January 11th, 2015
Good morning. Is it Sunday again already? We here had bacon and eggs. Yum!
Congrats, Hobbit. What are you doing up so early? Isn’t it 5:37 there?
12:21 pm on January 11th, 2015
We love rellenos, but the whole dipping into the batter, and frying them just so gives us a nervous tic. So we bake them. This works pretty well, and is far less greasy than fried. (ok, so sometimes we love the greasy, but that is only when we get them in New Mexico where they are fried in lard. And that is a RARE treat).
BAKED CHILIES RELLANOS
*6 canned whole green chilies or 6 fresh chilies, roasted & peeled
*6 -2 inch chunks Monterey jack cheese about 1/2 thick
*6 -2 inch chunks of cheddar cheese about 1/2 thick
*flour
*8 eggs, separated
*1/4 cup butter, melted and allowed to cool off
*picante sauce, or salsa, hot as you like
Directions:
Rinse the canned chiles and discard the seeds, or prep the fresh chiles by roasting and peeling
Cut a slit in each chile, and insert 1 strip of Jack and 1 strip Cheddar cheese
Roll the chiles in flour.
Separate eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff.
Beat egg yolks and fold into whites.
Add melted butter (should not be hot) to the egg mixture
Grease generously a 8×8 baking dish.
Pour a thick coating of batter on bottom of dish.
Place chiles on top of batter, and spoon remaining batter over chiles.
Bake at 375° for 15 minutes, or until fluffy, firm and golden. Top with your choice of picante or fresh salsa.

As far as I am concerned Mr Quinn cannot write fast enough!! Chet & Bernie absolutely make my day. Although I’ve read everything that he’s written, my mom and I are constantly quoting Chet and cracking up. Just read “Paw and Order” and I cannot wait for another book to come out.
1:00 pm on January 11th, 2015
Thanks T&G’s Mama: That is almost exactly the recipe I used except I fried in oil instead of baking. You remind me that I bought some good lard at last summer’s farmer’s market. It’s hiding in the freezer.
Jenna Moulton: The joy of Chet is contagious!
1:02 pm on January 11th, 2015
Thanks, T&G. Another recipe cut/pasted.
Jenna, welcome. That is how all of us feel about Chet & Bernie.
1:26 pm on January 11th, 2015
Jenna, Case closed!
Football folks with Directv. There is a pissy war between FOX and DTV so no Colts/GBP game. If you’uns have some other carrier, watch, enjoy and do a play by play for the rest of us dumb schmucks. 🙁
1:31 pm on January 11th, 2015
Happy Chetspeak Day Everyone!
Welcome Jenna!
I am not going to watch the football games today, but I will be checking the blog for news and scores of the games.
Beau, I am counting on you.
1:39 pm on January 11th, 2015
I have Direct TV and I have the FOX channel.
I have learned some of these wars between Direct TV and the channels are local.
They are making a big mess with their tv wars.
2:05 pm on January 11th, 2015
Cooking!…We’ve been upstairs cooking Great Grama’s Case Noodle and some Germaan Sausage….snort!…ALL of us have been in the kitchen under-paw and totally in my friends way….grunt!…I came down to check the score! The Packers are behind!…yeeeeep!
2:09 pm on January 11th, 2015
Siber – in March, do you usually prefer bacon or sausage? Inquiring minds want to know.
2:47 pm on January 11th, 2015
T&G Both are wonderful. I am not particular.
2:50 pm on January 11th, 2015
SiberH! Good answer.
Rio: Gramma’s Case Noodle? Yummers!
3:01 pm on January 11th, 2015
BUUUUURRRP!….Oh my dawg. I am very full and that does not happen often…heh!heh!…I got way more than my fair share of German Sausage when someone with shaky hands dropped a nice fat link on the kitchen floor…heh!heh!…I have not moved so fast for a long time. I beat Beau to the meat and that was the end of that!…BURRRRRPPPP!
3:11 pm on January 11th, 2015
Siber – we will have to see which one we can sneak past airport security.
Rio – for shame…..oh, the emanations that will be forthcoming.
3:19 pm on January 11th, 2015
Race!…I see that a guy named Sebatian Schnuelle is way ahead in the Copper Basin race!…snort!…I’ve never heard of him before…grunt!
3:30 pm on January 11th, 2015
T&G: Thanks so much for the recipe. Chili rellanos are actually one of my all time favorites but darn hard to find on the East Coast. Will definitely have to give it a try.
3:30 pm on January 11th, 2015
Lurker!….Your team is coming up from behind!!!….Wooooo!…It is a one point game now. Plenty of time to get er’ done…snort!
3:35 pm on January 11th, 2015
Recipe!….Woooooo! Another great looking recipe. I think we need to make another cookbook…snorkel!
3:49 pm on January 11th, 2015
The dude, Sebastian Schnuelle, is a very experienced musher. He has won the Yukon Quest. He retired from sled dog racing several years ago
and has been writing for the Iditarod’s website. Maybe he has come out of retirement. He seems to be a good guy. We like him.
3:51 pm on January 11th, 2015
I think it would be hard to put together another cookbook without the help of Liz. She did a fantastic job. We love that cookbook.
Going to watch Jersey Boys.
3:52 pm on January 11th, 2015
T&G WooHoo!
4:01 pm on January 11th, 2015
Cookbook!….Yes, without our graphic designer, Liz, we would be sunk..sniff!
Packers!…Are looking like strong cheese!..snort!snort!
4:42 pm on January 11th, 2015
Sneeze!….Da big game is on – it just started just now!..sneeze!…I am so excited I can hardly stand myself…cough!
4:53 pm on January 11th, 2015
SCORE!!!….sneeeze!sneeze!….Dose Broncos have scored first in dis here game!!!….Woooooo!Wooooo!
5:12 pm on January 11th, 2015
Whoo and Hoo! The Packers came from behind and wunnit. The quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is one tough guy. He played with a partially torn calf muscle and did great in the second half. We two buddies got together with family and ate subs and enjoyed ourselves. Now onto the next game!
5:23 pm on January 11th, 2015
Game Day…Game 2!!!
Go Broncos!!
5:24 pm on January 11th, 2015
Rio, we liked your “strong cheese’ comment, heh, heh. Pizza is about ready to come out of the oven . Nothing like football and health food 🙂
5:28 pm on January 11th, 2015
Riö: You forget that photo from last year’s Iditarod of Dawson standing next to Sebastian Schnuelle…quite a moment!
5:30 pm on January 11th, 2015
Sneeze!…Oh no! Dose Colties knocked da ball right out of Peyton’s paw….gasp!…Now da other team has da ball and dey just ran a flea-flicker play. But not very well…heh!heh!eh!
5:37 pm on January 11th, 2015
GAH!….Now dat just takes da cake…sneeze!…Dose Colts have scored after stealing dat ball away from Peyton…grump!stomp!
5:55 pm on January 11th, 2015
Gah!Gah!….I’m going gaw-gaw here cuz my quarterback cannot seem ta throw dat football to a receiver down da field. Wot da hell?…sneeze!
6:02 pm on January 11th, 2015
Sebastion is in first place if I am tracking the mushers correctly. He is a Canadian from Whitehorse, Yukon and a good guy. You can recognize him by his trademark hair that sticks out all over the place. I wonder if he has decided to take up long distance racing again instead of writing about it. I enjoy his writing. I told HOH’s mom to take my picture, then sidled up next to Sebastian. He could’ve looked at me like, “Who is this piss-ant”, but he didn’t. He just smiled.
6:13 pm on January 11th, 2015
Dawson!….Post the photo to refresh my memory…snort!
6:14 pm on January 11th, 2015
Deja vu. Dawson, this pics for you 🙂
6:16 pm on January 11th, 2015
Half-time!…It is finally half-time…whew!…I think the second half has to be different from the first half if Beau’s Broncos are going to pull this outta their butts…sniff!…It is not looking very good to me, although the Broncs are only 4 points behind…wheeze!…Luck is being protected and is playing better than Manning right now…grunt! …Beau is excited for the half-time show. He is already twirling and skipping…Oh Brother!
6:16 pm on January 11th, 2015
2 p.m. in Alaska and it looks like Phillip has gotten to Meiers Lake Roadhouse checkpoint.
6:18 pm on January 11th, 2015
Bad!…No wonder I didn’t remember this photo. It is so unbelievably bad….grunt!….You cannot see anybody’s face. Who took this photo?….wheeze!
6:21 pm on January 11th, 2015
Heh, heh!
Rio: You don’t have to see his face. You can tell it is Sebastian by his hair. I love this photo!
6:26 pm on January 11th, 2015
OK, so Ansel Adams mom is not, but there is no finger in front of the lens!
6:27 pm on January 11th, 2015
Dawson: It looks like Sebastian has his arm around you, or he wants to!
6:28 pm on January 11th, 2015
It was actually our mom that took that bad photo, on her bad iPhone with the very bad camera.
6:29 pm on January 11th, 2015
And here is our favorite Pug at the last stop before the lovely tunnel to Whittier.
6:29 pm on January 11th, 2015
Ansel!…He would never shoot into the sun…grunt!…Game is back on! Here we go!…snort!
6:40 pm on January 11th, 2015
Howlers’ is right, mom didn’t have her ifone in AK last year and didn’t want to schlepp around the ipad.
6:44 pm on January 11th, 2015
Sneeze!…All dose Bronco guys have ta do is score 2 touchdowns to be in da lead again…snuffle!…Dat is ALL! I am sure dey can do it before dis big game is over…chuffle!…I am a true believer an I will be here when dey finally win…chuffle!
6:44 pm on January 11th, 2015
Oh, was it you, O’Howlers? Well I am the one who asked you to take the picture. Not thinking of the sun right behind him. Here is what Sebastion is up to now: http://www.blue-kennels.com/glacier-season-in-full-swing/
6:52 pm on January 11th, 2015
Mom loves the foto of the northern lights in the Blue Kennels site. She has something crossed that she gets to see them this year.
6:56 pm on January 11th, 2015
My mom has been out most of the day. Grocery shopping and chair yoga, whatever that is. Anyway she is home and I am on her lap. She cannot get sports on her tv and she says it is lucky Rio keeps her up to date with the running commentaries.
7:03 pm on January 11th, 2015
Scout!…Sneeze!….Da score is 21 ta 10 wiff da Colts in da lead…gruffle!…But my team is fighting back hard. Yes dey are!…gurgle!
7:05 pm on January 11th, 2015
The Buffalo Bills just hired Rex Ryan, the ex-Jets coach. Maybe there’s hope. Next fix the Sabres please.
7:21 pm on January 11th, 2015
Jersey Boys is really a good movie – story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Music is great, acting is also good. There is a lot of course language, but remember, they are Jersey street boys.
Anyone going to watch The Golden Globes tonight?
7:28 pm on January 11th, 2015
Golden!…Barb, I cannot wait to watch the Golden Globes tonight….snort!…All this football stuff is getting me down. I’m a baseball guy – slow and steady…snorkel!….Beau is showing signs of being distraught…sniff!…Not looking good for his team right now. The clock is their worst enemy and the so called excellent over-paid players…grunt!
7:46 pm on January 11th, 2015
Finger in front of lens? Someone here resembles that remark.
7:47 pm on January 11th, 2015
Ha!…With 1:42 left in the game a receiver finally caught a ball down field…grunt!…This game is over but Beau doesn’t know it yet….whuffle!
7:47 pm on January 11th, 2015
Beau: I’m with you Pal, but it’s Looking pretty Bad right now. Sob.
7:49 pm on January 11th, 2015
No matter what…Payton is Still the Man.
7:50 pm on January 11th, 2015
Game!…OVER!…finally…whew!…What a misery to watch. But secretly me and my friend really did not believe. Not the way Beau did. Poor Beau. He is all but new to the Broncos heartbreak style….guffle!
7:53 pm on January 11th, 2015
Dawson: Thanks for the link. Lots of kool fotos on his blog.
7:53 pm on January 11th, 2015
BML: When do the Golden Globes start?

F a r g o!…Sounds like they will be back!…snort!
8:31 pm on January 11th, 2015
Heart!…My heart is light. Baseball season is coming up! ..chuffle!…Beau’s heart is heavy. He is new to experiencing defeat. I am an old paw at the game of defeat…snuff!…He thinks the Broncos should win, well they are not a good team right now. He cannot comprehend this as of yet…grunt!
8:32 pm on January 11th, 2015
Ice Cream!…Coming up Next golden globe commericial. She promised!…snort!
9:10 pm on January 11th, 2015
Nobody!…Around?…grunt!….Well goodnight then all you unsupportive pals…grump!
9:40 pm on January 11th, 2015
I took time away from watching my brother’s race today. Wyatt said we needed to pray for Beau and Beau’s Broncos. They were doing well when we started praying, but then things started to go down hill. We tried to figure out what could be the problem. Wyatt even prayed for guidance to know. In the fourth quarter, Wyatt grabs my scruff to take my head of the bowing position and informs me I should stop praying. Something about me, my thieving ways, the efficacy of my prayers, and the good Lord being forgiving but not to an insane degree. So I stopped praying, but it was too late. My lady says I’m to tell Beau that I’m sorry.
9:44 pm on January 11th, 2015
Masquers and Rio, Sorry we missed your posts. We have been watching the Globes, which started at 7:00 Central Time. Not sure if we will make it till the end. We love Tina and Amy.
9:45 pm on January 11th, 2015
Lefty, good to hear from you when so many of your family are busy.
10:06 pm on January 11th, 2015
Rio, Kevin S., your favorite, just gave an excellent acceptance speech.
10:09 pm on January 11th, 2015
Beau, We are sorry your team lost. Our team was out of it from the start so we do not know the agony of defeat since first you have to know the joy of winning.
Not that Alice of I care in the least little bit. snort.
10:42 pm on January 11th, 2015
Busy! I am pretty sure I’m the busiest of all my family. Sure brother is racing, the Giant is training, my Lady is trying to show some self control with Rio’s monster cookies, but what about me? My Lady put me in charge of me, which is no easy task let me tell youse. Plus, Wyatt insists I take up a hobby called prayer. My neck hurts from bowing, but if it was for Beau, it was worth it.
