It is possible this saying came about because the dog star Sirius rises with the sun during this time of year, but whatever the reason for the “Dog Days,” this is just one example of how the English language is full of phrases based on animals.

- 4. Place the beans in a bowl along with the other ingredients, toss together and season to taste. If in doubt add less of the seasonings you can always add more…
