spent part of the day framing some of my work and then moving the recycle containers because May 1 we go single stream which means we don't have to keep things in different containers. that has been a pain and I am looking forward to making it easier. however we are very good recyclers and produce very little actual garbage because I also compost all my organic non dairy and non meat food.

Abi has not reacted too badly to the shot this time. Dr. McGeorge gave her a smaller dose and already her lip is less swollen. she is drinking a ton more water which is normal and many more pee clumps to scoop from her boxes. I also decided to use some museum putty on some of the items she likes to head butt off tables in order to get attention. like the tray on my bedside dresser and my basket of nail polish , tooth floss etc gimrackies (is that a word?)  which sits on a console table behind the den sofa.

my neighbor has continued to flagstone and concrete her back yard. she had the guys tear some out and lay more down in another location do that about 3/4 of her yard is all hard-scaping. I really don't get it. not at all. I an still reading the Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys for my women's book group and am loving it. It is the story of Mrs Rochester. Afterwards we will read Jane Eyre.

Jim has cooked chicken Marengo and while I have no appetite I agreed to eat a little so I don't pig out on  cake later tonight.

Re: framing
i may have missed a memo, but i didn't realize you kept kosher.  i've always wondered about this....could you please give me a sample day's menu?  i'm interested in how it all fits together, but um....separately.  i ask this next question in all seriousness:  do you have separate 'fridges and dishwashers?  sorry, but it fascinates me.   god, they must really love you at the local kitchen store.  (((((((((((alice & abi))))))))))  tell the abi-cats  that auntie snuggs sends ear-skritches.

 

p.s.  where does pigging out on a cat come down on the kosher scales?  *g*

 

i've heard of gimcracks and geegaws...the word i use is tsochskes.  i love that word.

Re: framing
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder how you decided I kept kosher? I don't allow "forbidden" food in the kitchen but I dont keep everything seperate and I dont loook for a rabbi's approval on the foods I buy.

During Passover I get a little more serious... well sometimes :-)

but... if a person kept kosher it only applies to meat (animals) really and the prohibition agst mixing dairy and meat... all veggies and fruit are considered neutral (parve) and I am sometimes serioulsy going vegetarian. are you vegan?

the way you wrote that, i assumed that it meant you kept things separated, due to kosher restrictions.  my bad.   i've always found the concept of separating foods interesting, altho' it sounds like an awful lot of extra work for whoever is doing the cooking. 

 

me a vegan.  *snorts*  honey, you jest!  i loves my meats too much to be a vegetarian, let alone a vegan.  i think certain critters were put on this earth to be food for man; altho' i do believe in treating our food sources humanely.

 

i'm sorry if my assumption about you keeping kosher offended you; was *not* my intent.  i just got excited because i thought i had a window on another cool bit of knowledge; beats the heck out of reading about it in a book.  ((((((((alice))))))))))

 

how's abi-cat today?

Re: framing
home shugah nothing you write offends me. I was simply curious and sometimes my tone gets too cold and steely. abs is doing alot better. I love animals for eating and knowing but I dont eat shellfish for religious reasons. and i adore lobster and conch.

as for the sep thing ... the old testament had this real fixation on things being sep- water fromand earth from air, animals you can eat and those you cant, men and women etc. I guess is was about order in a chaotic time. who knows. I bet Mrs moses alphabetized her herbs.

Re: framing
oh, i'm right up there with mrs. moses; i alphabetize too. 

 

isn't there a phrase for the 3 things that are prohibited?  something about the abomination and the something, something.  i know pork is one, shellfish is another but i can't remember the third. (you'd think it would be liver...the organ of detoxification)  and i understand why they were prohibited, then....because of lack of refrigeration and bad shellfish making you sick..and well...pigs are nasty.    altho', i do like this one saying, "if you're going to eat pork, let the juice drip from your chin."  i know it, but i don't remember who said it.
