Hi Littermates!
I just made myself a coffee before sitting down to the Cafe only to find it’s a coffee Cafe. Yay!
Buttons, we use that saying here too but it’s another way of saying “I’m doing something you don’t need to know about” or “mind your own business”.
Fingers crossed that all goes well with the island visit for Guntar.
Brrrrrr some of you do have a nippy day don’t you. Yikes KJ, -30, i’m guessing that would be C.
Nirmal, eyelash icicles! !
It’s another sunny day here, I’m keeping out of the sun so I don’t burn to a crisp. Shadz has been outside somewhere and wandered inside for a good brushing and back off out to lie under her favourite shade tree. I’ve just been freezer diving for meat for dinner.
I love the Janitor’s Revenge vid.
Here’s another bit of nonsense to make you LOL and warm up.

Hi KYKat, great to see you.
Going by that poster JK Shadz loves me. Deb, I do love the bobcats.
That broccoli recipe works really well with curly kale but only bake for 10 minutes to get delicious green crispy kale chips. I do it without the garlic and add a light grating of Parmesan once they are out of the oven. Warning! ! very addictive but at least it’s healthy.
LOL at the Starbucks link.

Sounds even better with kale, MS. Like the rest of the world I am trying to get back into healthier eating. I am so ready for my farmer friend to have his micro-greens for sale. That is the start of the season and the beginning of farm fresh produce! All that being said, I’m not cooking tonight. I have to get my house clean for company and get the tree down tonight.

Stay warm everyone…except for our southern hemisphere peeps. Keep cool y’all!

LOL @ the ‘re-gifting’ stories! …..

…. Kale is wonderful! I use it a lot, either as a side (like greens), cooked with bacon/garlic/red pepperflakes…. or in soups and stews! Crispy Kale chips are easy/yummy too!

…. Cold here today, it’s only a high of 48 – VERY cold for Tampa …. brrrrrrr

KJ, hubby wants to know how you got Taz’s baby pic!

Taz was my little girl who came along after my brother’s cat Aja, also a black kitty, died. She was indeed named after the carnivorous animal of Tasmania (not the cartoon character). She was a wild child and grew to be a lovely cat, but she was always up to something. I took several pictures of her on my wedding day – she was very good that day. Alas, she didn’t like life in the mountains and spent the rest of her days down the valley. My dad took a particular shine to her. Her ashes are on top of mom’s curio cabinet. Fitting, as she was always looking up, trying to get higher.

Joan, how curious. We had a wee black & white farm feral we rescued and named her Wild after her personality. She wasn’t with us very long either, cat flu took her. We did manage to save her litter sister Whitefoots, a dilute torttabby and she was with us many years and then spent her senior years with my parents and went over the Bridge at 18 years of age. Whitefoots was a wild child too and no rabbit was safe on the farm, she eased back to catching mice when she retired to the city.
I just went out into the heat, I thought at least the strong wind we have would help make the heat bearable but it didn’t. It still felt every bit the 28C my thermometre gauge says it is. Home and sipping a lovely icy iced coffee.
Brrrrrrrrrr well water in Winter.

mmm that crispy kale n broccoli does sound good. luc,ily, i love both!
