Beany Boy Update
For those who’ve asked how Mr. Beany is doing, I have to say, pretty great….for a hundred year old kitty with a healing hip.
He still walks with a slight limp–but it’s much better than it was. The muscles in his hip are still “sprung” so-to-speak, but he doesn’t seem to have any pain with it.
And see how that same leg is just poking out to one side? Yeah, they say he’ll probably do that the rest of his life because the leg is essentially longer now. But I pet him and love him and feed him soft food and now and then, I even get away with massaging his hip. I think he lets me because he doesn’t want me to worry about him.
In fact, if he spoke English, which I swear sometimes he does–I think he’d say,
“It’s all good.
Thanks for asking.
Now feed me.”
Sweet Dreams Bolster Pillow
Remember the pretty little crocheted Mandala that I made a few weeks ago?
And this pink and purple thingy from a while back?
Well, you’ll be pleased to know that the two have gotten together and made a lovely bed-sized bolster pillow. Oh, my goodness it was fun to make and very satisfying to put together–but neither was as much fun as it was to sleep with the darn thing. Trust me, it makes the softest, most huggable body pillow you’ve ever seen…er…felt.
And now…
I feel a nap coming on…
with a really heavenly pillow.
heh, heh, heh.
PS~ Thanks EVERYONE for making my birthday absolutely incredible! What a wonderful, priceless thing are friends. I adore you, you know. Thanks again.
The Scent of Waffles…
We arrived at our last Farmer’s Market just as the sun was going down. But we had a goal and could not be deterred.
In fact, when Miss Chompy first got out of the car she took a whiff–
and a big, long sniff, and said,
“I can SMELL them!!
We need to go get Waffles...now!“
Okey-dokey Miss Chompy. Anything you say.
Ahhh…such wisdom from the mouth of babes.
Two Ingredient Lemon Angel Cake
Since quite a few people voted that I make all three recipes in the poll–and since I secretly wanted to make them all ANYway, I started with the Two Ingredient Lemon Angel Cake.
Now, you may recall that when I found this yummy thing on Pinterest, the recipe was actually called Two Ingredient Lemon Bars– from Practically Living, but I saw fit to…change the name a bit. I’ll explain in a minute.
The instructions are sweet and simple. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Open a 15 oz. can of Lemon Pie Filling and stir it together with an Angel Food Cake mix. Just whisk together until the cake mix is completely incorporated into the pie filling.
Spread gently into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes–edges will be slightly browned.
Cool completely and slice. This was a lovely light and fluffy dessert, very, very much like lemon angel food cake. In fact, it was sturdy and spongy enough that we could eat it with our fingers.
That’s why I didn’t call it a Lemon Bar–because it didn’t behave like one. Still very good and so dang simple to make. It could be one of those panicky little recipes that you throw together when you find out a half hour before you have to be somewhere that you were suppose to bring a dessert.
On a side note, since the cake was very delicate in flavor, and I’m a bit of an extremist–I made the Lemon Bread Glaze and drizzled it over the top of some of the bars for an extra zing.
Then, I promptly ate them all.
No.
Really.
