Domestic Mystery

Scene of the crime!

And here are the usual Suspects:

"Romeo's New Plaything" or "Boredom Defeated!"

What will I do today?

I tire of the same old toys.

Hello!  What's this?

This smells just like Mommy's ears!

This is the most awesome toy ever!

I could watch it for hours....

...and then drop it into the water dish until the cotton bits come off.

Snow Day

I got out of work at noon on Friday.  I took these photos on Saturday.

The patio.

Romeo asks to go out, but comes up against a wall of snow.

Storm Amuses Cats.

The whole northeast was not devastated by Frankenstorm; my neighborhood came out on its feet.

Crazy Weather

Relaxing at Home

Unusually mild weather fooled this tree into budding.

Weekend Gifts

Dave gave me a bottle of his home-brewed beer, which I must store in a dark place at 66-72 degrees for a least 10 days.  Sue gave me a candle that looks like a piece of cheese.

Romeo was fascinated by the flame.

More Cute (and Educational) Cat Pictures

Here are a couple of educational shots showing the thumb placement on a polydactyl cat.

This is the Cat on my Hat.......................

The cat's in the bag.

Desk Sets

Proof Positive!

My rose bush hasn't produced any flowers for a few years.  So why is it producing this year?  Maybe it liked all the rain.  Anyway, here's the proof.  (I confess to pumping up the color saturation, since the blooms are a very light pink.)

Romeo is enjoying the opportunity to go outside.

Cats and Food

Juliet likes sleeping on top of the clothes-drying rack.  This is how she looks from underneath.

Yesterday I went with Sue, Julie, and Dave to True Bistro, a vegan place in Somerville.  Above, Julie and Dave look serious.

Sue's hand gestures are echoed by the gentleman at the next table.  How artistic is that!

A salad with farro, which tasted something like barley.  Nice presentation.

Wilted spinach, smoked tofu, pecans, cranberries, red onion, balsamic vinegar.  The smoked tofu had a meaty taste reminiscent of bacon.

Housemade spaghettini, smoked tofu, English peas, blanched almonds, cream sauce.  I liked this; Julie didn't love it.

Cornmeal-crusted oyster mushrooms, horseradish/dill aioli.  You can't go wrong with fried stuff!

Black bean and plantain torte, salsa verde and sour cream. (I think I got that right.)
I generally think of vegan diets as very restrictive, but the True Bistro makes great use of plant foods.  I could be vegan, if I could eat stuff like this every day.

Kitty Corners

Romeo and Juliet have been with me now for nearly 5 months.  They have scoped out the comfortable places in their new home.

Quit Looking at Cuteoverload and Listen to Me!
