How to Make a Dog-Coat Conditioning Spray With Almond Oil

How to Make a Dog-Coat Conditioning

Spray With Almond Oil

Almond oil contains vitamins and minerals that will make your dog’s coat strong,

soft and shiny.

Instructions

Things You’ll Need

1 cup water

3 tsp. almond oil

1 tsp. lemon juice

Container large enough for mixing ingredients

Spoon

Spray bottle

Brush

Pour water into a bowl or container large enough to stir the water without spilling.

You can use bottled water or tap water.

Add almond oil to the water. Almond oil is available for purchase at many local

health food stores.

Add lemon juice to the water and almond oil mixture. You can squeeze the juice

from a lemon or use prepackaged lemon juice.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon. The ingredients are completely mixed

when the liquid is cloudy and has a slight tan color.

Pour the ingredients into the spray bottle. Screw on the bottle’s cap when you are

finished.

Hold the spray bottle about 6 inches from your dog’s coat and spray the mixture

onto the coat. Work the solution deeper into your dog’s coat by brushing its hair

after spraying.


* Spray your dog’s coat with the mixture once a day for best results.

* Make sure to use almond oil instead of almond extract.

90 Minute Ribs

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Place ribs in their racks (I just mean do not cut them) in a large baking/casserole dish
  • Pour vinegar into dish with ribs and cover tightly with aluminum foil (cover well)
  • Bake about 75 minutes or until very tender
  • Remove from oven and carefully lift off tin foil - watch out for steam

The ribs are now fully cooked and just need to be ‘sauced’ finished’ and you have 2 options:

 

Heat bbq to medium and place ribs meat side down without sauce - but you can baste the back with the sauce

Cook until they start to develop grill marks, and turn over - now baste the top

You could stop here after they grill a bit on this side, or you could baste them a bit more and then give them a couple more minutes meat side down - that’s what I do

 

Heat broiler to high and place ribs on a baking sheet about 4 inches from the heat source

Brush top of the ribs well with the sauce and cook until they start getting a bit brown - then flip to the back, sauce and cook some more

Flip back to the top (sauce again) and cook until they get that beautiful rib look

Then, no matter how you cooked them, give ‘em one extra baste them after they’ve been removed and just before you serve them
