Hi Gonzo! Here’s my cat Bean doing her version of getting on the hellocobber shelve this morning. You are an inspiration!

Missed posting this a while back. It’s a re-creation of a favorite from a now closed pizza place. Fig jam, goat cheese, and pancetta pizza topped with arugula. As good as I remember it being! 🍜🍽️ #pizzanerd

Just the two of us, so I just did the core: turkey breast roast, mashed potatoes, and fluffy dinner rolls. Did splurge on dessert and made cranberry tiramisu. 🍽️🍜
A plate with slices of turkey, a pile of mashed potatoes, and two dinner rolls. A dozen fluffy pull-apart dinner rolls, baked in a round pan, sitting on a copper colored cooling rack. They are shiny from being brushed with melted butter. Cranberry tiramisu in a 9x13 cranberry Pyrex pan. An interior shot of the cranberry tiramisu.

This came up in my FB memories, so I felt compelled to share it here. Behold, the nightmare fuel.
White cloud peppers (a white flesh bell pepper) that have been stuffed with/are in a bowl with some cut red tomatoes. Yes, they look like teeth. Bloody teeth. Happy nightmares!

Here are my other three: Kramer, the grand dame who lived to 21; Pip the sensitive & emotional pain in the butt; and Nessa the goof.

Billy Bob, my bestest boy. ❤️
A collage of 4 pictures of a brown tabby Bengal mix. In the largest one, he’s looking at the camera with his head turned, in one picture he’s laying stretched out on the floor with his back legs behind him, in one he is standing on a bench looking up at the camera with squinting eyes, and in the last he’s curled up on a bed with his paw over his nose.

I do not have a squash problem. I can stop anytime I want! #farmersmarkethaul 🍽️
A bunch of freshly washed & scrubbed winter squash from the farmers market, laying on a striped towel: 2 butternut, 2 different varieties of delicata, one yellow/one orange, a red kabocha, a gray kabocha, and an acorn.

I am 100% going to try to snag some of this Butternaise when it goes on sale later this week. FOR SCIENCE! 🍽️🍜
A photo of an open jar of Tillamook Butternaise, a limited edition product they are releasing later this week. There’s a knife sticking out of the jar. It’s next to a melty grilled cheese sandwich cut in half, with the two halves stacked on top of each other.

And then there were two! The other b/w tuxedo was adopted by one of the other volunteers in my group! Tempted to bond these two so I don’t end up with a single lonely kitten.

Tis the season!
Candy corn mixed with salted peanuts. It tastes like a PayDay candy bar. IT REALLY DOES.

Today’s goal: get a kitten (or two, or three, hey let me dream here) adopted!
Cassian, a black and white tuxedo kitten, laying on the floor with his front legs stretched out in front of him. Karis, a gray and white tuxedo kitten, laying on the floor next to a carpeted cat tree. He’s looking up and off to the left. It’s reminiscent of a posed school picture. Luthen, a fluffy black and white tuxedo kitten laying in a basket, his bottle brush tail laying beside him. He’s looking has enormous white whiskers.

Yooooo, last night I made Armenian harissa because @sarahbecan.bsky.social & @wordloaf.org convinced me I needed to, and they did not lead me astray. Super mega comfort food! And the Aleppo butter/oil business was 🤌. I may have been a bit heavy-handed there. 🍽️🍜

Spiced lentil & walnut pitas were so good. The cucumber salad is a necessity and takes it to a whole ‘nother level. 🍽️🍜
A pita pocket quartered, stuffed with a spiced lentil & walnut mix & bagel in the oven until browned. With a side of a creamy cucumber salad (cucumber, onion, lemon, yogurt).

His little milk mustache is so cute I can’t stand it! 🥰
A gray and white tuxedo kitten laying on the floor, looking back interestedly toward the camera. He has pretty green eyes, and very faint gray-on-gray tabby stripes on his body.

Do you have a favorite potato (I bet @darthbluesky.bsky.social does)? I do, and it’s the Makah Ozette, pictured here. Roasted & tossed in bacon chive cream. 🍜🍽️
A bowl of Makah Ozette potatoes. They are nubby fingerling potatoes. These were halved & roasted in the oven. They are in a big yellow bowl & were tossed with bacon chive cream (heavy cream, crème fraiche, chopped chives & bacon, s&p).

Look what’s out in the world at my library! @keezyyoung.bsky.social This one is coming home with me to be read though. 😆
A copy of the book Hello Sunshine by Keezy Young. It’s a library book so there’s a sticker with an orange book that says NEW SEP on it.

Y’all. I can’t believe no one wants to adopt Karis. He is just stunning and so sweet. Just don’t understand how he hasn’t been adopted. Pictures just don’t do him justice, which I’m sure doesn’t help. He’s a dark charcoal gray with silvery tabby swirls.
