    Hey All,

    A bit odd of a topic but after some research…Something On A Stick Day is all about celebrating foods we love to eat that just happen to come on a stick! Who doesn’t love relaxed finger food that you can pick up by the stick and eat? What about planning an entire meal of a starter, main course and dessert all on sticks? Easy, informal, and fun – and very little cleaning up to do afterwards!

    Some of those Special Days on that Special Calendar prove to be creatively challenging – do they not, PG? 😉
    So here’s my purry contribution:

    Cat on a stick – Not to be Eaten.


    The big cricket game is half way through, NZ batted first and didn’t do as well as hoped. Now it’s Australia’s turn to bat.
    Come on Black Caps ! ! Bowl them out.
    Not really into food on a stick here unless it’s kebabs of some type or candy floss(cotton candy) or ice blocks.

    MS…hope your team pulls it out! That selfie stick photo cracks me up!

    Good morning! Just caught up on yesterday’s happenings. Hope your back feels better, AV.

    Yesterday oldest son had first soccer game of an eight game season. Nice for him to get back into it after a year long break when we moved. We found a very laid back league. The coaches are the referees. Very relaxed. Only one practice per week. Perfect for our family. Son just wants to have fun but has never developed his skills to the point some kids his age have….so as he gets older I hesitate to put him in a super competitive league. Just not the place for him, since he sure didn’t get any natural athletic ability from mom and dad. :).

    Morning all! Beautiful morning here, cool but nicely sunny. Back is somewhat better. Alternated asprin and advil, heat then ice, and slept comfortably …. I have my Hazel scheduled for Tues so I don’t feel the need to overdo today, it will be a nice day of rest for me.

    Go NZ, I hope the Black Caps were victorious!

    Love the pics today …. Reminds me of the scorpion on a stick that Son sent a pic of when he was in Thailand ….. Ick!!

    … Looking thru my recipe books, I want to make something yummy with chicken thighs …. I’m thinking maybe a stew ….. Creative hat going on …

    Morning, sitting here @ this place going battier by the moment…I need a ‘selfie stick’ today, think that all of us have cabin fever or something, or it’s the sharing of everyone’s kids colds in here, ugh….trying to wrap my head around the wedding coming so soon, cleaning house and weeding thru things and none of it is working right now.

    AV, glad that your back is getting better.

    ECB, nice that you are thinking of your son and not pressuring him to be competitive in sports, better (my opinion) for him to enjoy it 🙂

    Jan, I love cotton candy, don’t get it but maybe once a year if even that.

    PG, love the pictures 🙂

    Good Morning – yes, today is my ‘other’ birthday, I was born on Palm Sunday! March 22 doesn’t fall on Palm Sunday very often; next time will be around my 76th b-day.
    Something on a stick – my fav would be a popsickle!

    Waving Paws to all,

    Love the Pogo stick, KJ! I tried that when I was younger but I’d need training wheels now *snort* Challenging, yes…but you blazed the trail. 🙂

    Sorry about the cabin fever, Deb. When is the wedding? Wow, just think what a wonderful property that would be for rescued feral and stray kittens!

    It’s tough getting back on track after a move so it’s good you found a laid back league, ECB. Let us know how your son does in his league.

    I was thinking about the bugs on a stick picture your Son sent to you, AV. Glad to hear that your back is a bit better today.

    Having a birfday on Palm Sunday makes you extra special, Joan. Enjoy!

    It was 71f/21c yesterday and it’ll be the same today. It’s so nice that I feel I should do something outside. Mmm, I’ll grab some coffee read the paper on the patio.

    Have a happy ~

    It’s sunny but very chilly out so the woodburner is at work yet again, or rather, still 🙂
    Leela whined a bit when I picked her up, but she is now contently snoring in a puddle of sun at the window perch.

    Happy “other” birthday Joan… My “other” birthday is EASTER SUNDAY! That is SO neat that you were born on Palm Sunday and me, Easter Sunday. 🙂 Don’t think my real BD has EVER fallen on Easter again in my whole life. SO disappointing…. 🙁 I wonder if it will before I die?
    Sunny here, no clouds yet….
    I saw a wonderful program on the CREATE channel. It was all about roof top gardens in Brooklyn and Long Island city. There are even bee hives on roofs all over the city!!! But a pound of honey goes for $40!!!! YIKES. Pure, raw, honey, right from the hive, goes for $9-10 here right now. I get mine from the farm just down the road when he has it.
    This roof top garden produces 40,000 lbs. of organic produce a year and there are 40 CSA members. The lady said the rood top air is actually much cleaner than the air on the ground and the crops are healthier than if planted on the ground. They used an old factory roof. I LOVE it. They sell at farmers markets, to restaurants, etc. Have many apprentices too. SO exciting!!!!
    Well, gonna go find something to eat. Slept very late today.
    Very little snow left out there. Too bad half my flower garden is still covered. My flowers should be coming up soon.

    Sadly the Black Caps were not able to defeat the Aussies in the Cricket World Cup final. The boys did us proud though in getting to the final, they played with honour and great sportsmanship. I am proud of them.
    ECB, sports is meant to be fun at your son’s age, it’s great that you found a relaxed league.
    AV, glad the back is feeling better.
    Deb, concentrate on the most important thing at the moment and do the other things later.
    Joan, happy ‘other’ Birthday. Do you get spoiled all over again?
    Today started out damp and cloudy but has slowly cleared and then it was wet again. I dashed into the garden to plant out vege seedlings while it was wet and the sun decides to come out. 🙁 Can’t win them all. Maybe the lawn man will even show up. 😀
    Off to make some lunch.

    Good to see you in Café Susie!
    Good to see you as well Cheri!
    Sorry Black Caps lost MS! 🙁
    Wonder where Buttons is – I’Net being uncooperative? Wonder where KZ is?
    ECB, agree re sports for kids. Not sure if they do this anymore, but I loathed it when kids were the ones to pick other kids for team sports, loathed gym totally. Surprises peeps, but did segue from dance into aerobics, yes when the craze started, did not look back, but now an official “gym rat.” LOL
    AV, hope that your back is way better.
    Joan, Passover brownie recipe does look delish! Ya know, you don’t have to celebrate the holiday to make them. 😉 This one doesn’t bake ‘year round so don’t want to diminish my rep as Passover. Bought me honey cake, matzoh rolls and carrot muffins with choco chips. Entirely not same as year-round baked goods, but that’s the deal. Done what I can until later in week as Thurs. Needed another nap in pm, just mega stress as per. Dorry was most willing to join me on couch.
    PG, 71 degrees??? Don’t you live in ski country? With those temps some would go all but butt nekked in my n’hood. By contrast, while it is warmer here, peeps have not ditched winter coats and snow turning into rain forecast as tomorrow. And trust me, as much as peeps complained when it was unfluffy cold, come summer those same peeps will complain when it is blazing hot/humid. Not moi – will just slip into different shoes as sandals! 😉
