Monday 18/12/2017 – The Kitties Tap into their Inner Chefs!

Good grief MS, I hope you are all okay! Rains like that scare me…water rises so fast and becomes a threat of a different kind on it’s own. Glad you got some rain, but seriously, nobody needs to get that much rain so fast! Also relieved that you found HRH safe and sound and you both worked to get her dry and warm.

My cats would make cookies if they could. They would make lots of different things, with each cat supervising and telling the others what to do. That made me smile, just thinking about it.

My SIL put drawers in my cupboards yesterday, to hold my pots and pans and assorted things. THEY ARE WONDERFUL! No more crawling back into a dark hole, while standing on my head trying to find the roasting pan! I just reach down and pull out the drawer and it’s right at my fingertips!!

Coffee and cookies – yum

Hi Efurryone,

Love all the pics except the Brussel sprout.
It’s cold out in the 20f/-6c Miss Gaea is annoyed. Oh, poor HRH. I hope she’s OK. Lots of warm fuzzies to her. Today is laundry day, wee!

I hate digging in the back of cabinets to find a certain pan/pot. Those drawers sound cool, KZ.

Cya have a happy~
PG

Hi all – such funny pics – I love the wee sulking kitty who’s annoyed because someone took his cookie! Yikes MS, that must have been scary, to have such a storm dump so much rain. HRH must have regretted staying outside, but after getting dried off, all’s right with the world.
No Brussel sprout cookie recipes? Good!
That’s a nice poem, Lagatta. I like the line about the cat, not the cricket, on the hearth. There’s a cricket on the hearth at my mom’s house.
KZ, your new organization sounds great! There’s one corner of my cabinets where I practically have to stand on my head to reach; I don’t store too much back there!
I hope you are able to fight off the crud before it decides to sink in, KJ. Also hope you don’t have to deal with stupid freezing rain. Take care!
Hi PG, I’m happy for you and your Steelers. I think they got robbed yesterday, but at least they’re tied with NE. At this point I want the Giants to lose so they can hopefully get some good draft picks.
It was nice to sleep in a bit today after a busy few days with early mornings and late nights. We got our tree yesterday; got to pick from just a few that were left. Got a cute little 5 footer, reminds us of before the house reno when we had low ceilings. Today is laundry day here too, along with some cleaning, decorating and gift/card wrapping/sending. The wood burner adds a nice touch to the festive atmosphere, and feels really good. Just ask Leela, who likes to sit front and center and stare at it. Looks like she’s meditating!

Afternoon all! …. hope everyone stays warm/dry …. the weather here is so pretty, I’m almost embarrassed to tell you ….. upper 70s and tons of sunshine!!

Cookies! …. I always have to bake bunches when the kids are coming home …. probably be a good part of my upcoming weekend! ….

Hope everyone is having a great day!

For sure, Lagatta!
I’m happy that you’re having a pretty day, AV! You really swelter in the summer months, spring and fall as well for that matter!
JK, thanks for the cat biscuits recipe! Looks like something I’d like to try for my cats and it’s nice to get a good review of it.
Dewey says hi, everyone – he’s currently blocking my viow as I type this. (How many errors did I make?)
Heh, one.
I plan to do some cookie baking this week. Not quite from scratch this year though, I bought some packets that you just mix with water, oil, eggs, etc. It’s an easy way to get variety at a fraction of the time.
Today’s mail was just 2 envelopes, but lo and behold, both envelopes contained checks! One was from the bank where I just made our final loan payment, and the other was a dividend. Neither was for much money, around 2 dollars from the bank and not much more from the dividend check. So here I walked back from the mailbox wondering how upset these parcels were going to make me. Quite a pleasant surprise!
PS: In case you were wondering about my safety walking back home from the mailbox with that kind of money, rest assured, Berta and Dewey escorted me.

Good afternoon all. The day dawned sunny and hot and dried up the rain although there is plenty of evidence of the deluge. Today l hopped on a plane and flew south and l am with Airy for a day or so and then we drive back to my city. HRH Shadz was happy and hungry this morning and and slept well. She had two breakfasts which pleased us. Anyhoo, just checking in. May not post much as difficult to write on my phone.
