Salt block Tuna
by James Schappet

We made salt block grilled tuna today. 
First we had to season it, which meant slowly heating to 500 degrees. 
  
 

Then the tuna went on, just a quick seer on the outside. Cooked very rare. 
Thanks Sarit & Gilad.

Audrey back home from CCL Surgery
by James Schappet

Audrey is now back home, on light activity.  She had a complete tear of her Cranial Cruciate Ligament.  This is equivalent to a human ACL. She will be home sleeping and not doing much else for the next two weeks.  After that we start Doggie Physical Therapy.
