COOKING WITH DOG HAIR
G-Rated
The proper way to cook with dog hair--by Mary E. Wolley
Do you remember how embarrassed you were the last time you had company for dinner and when they dug several dog hairs from your best gourmet effort? This is because there is a right and a wrong way to cook with dog hairs.
First, we must remember each dish calls for a different variety. If you are unfortunate enough to own only one variety, I'm sure you can come up with a friend who will be willing to lend you the proper variety of hair or you could even order a rare variety, as they are light and easy to mail. There are many dishes that are basic to most menus and these can always be spiced up with the buff variety, which are especially useful when baking biscuits, pastries and yellow cakes. The black and tan hairs go well with fall dishes, Thanksgiving turkey, mince or pumpkin pies or even yams. Black, of course is for your roasts, steaks, ribs and hearty dishes, including stews, which carry black hairs well.
Naturally chocolate color hairs will go well with most desserts, unless you serve a very light Jell-O type dessert, in which case go back to the silver buff. If you are especially interested in foreign foods, most varieties can be used in Mexican, Japanese and Chinese cooking. In fact, any nationality food will accept most dog hairs without hurting the flavor.
A good rule of thumb to remember which dog hairs go with which dish is--use them as you would a good wine--white wine and light hair with the delicate dishes, dark wine and dark hair with the more robust, heartier dishes. For a special touch to finish your meal with a flourish, add the long-forgotten finger bowls with a few hairs of assorted colors floating in them. Your guests will be astounded, and so appreciative of your unexpected elegance!

A dash of dog hair is a requirement in all of our meals. I think our dinner guests are always kind enough to not mention it to our faces.

Dog hair, cat hair - no big deal. I slimy goob is another story, especially when entertaining. Doesn't matter how far away Bear is, either a good shake or a well-placed snort does it every time. ::)

Just tell the guests it's extra protein! Most people that visit us are pet owners & pet lovers, so they do understand a little floating pet hair in their soup or on their plate! It is a bit nuts for some people, grosses out others but, we try our best to keep the hair out of the food. It's hardest when all 4 Newfies are blowing coat! We vacuum almost everyday, at least the kitchen area which of course is our dogs' favorite laying spot because it is cool on the tile.
In our house pet hair is just another condiment some days!
Keep well everyone!

I found this one really funny since I'm sitting here eating my breakfast of cookies and look down and see the dog and cat hair. Yum! It's just a little more flavoring.

hm.... just yesterday i went to scoop a meal onto my kids plates and realized i grabbed the fork i used to mix the canned dog food in dry food instead of grabbing the one i was cooking with (i set one on one side of the oven and the other on the other side)... very much like the dog hair though. i've done that, too!
