Happy National Flapjacks Day! 3/7/20

Cat and Pig found flapjacks. Digital phone drawings, 3/7/20.
Flapjacks are the same as pancakes I think.
What are they making these with? How do they make them? Are they small or big? How many in a stack
What will they pour all over them?
Maple Syrup? Honey? Strawberry sauce - southern strawberries are huge right now. Markets are full of them. How many will they make? How many can they eat?   Who will eat some with them? Will theY have  leftovers too?

Cat and Pig with anisette, digital phone drawings, 7/2/19

Anisette from fennel root. Licorice flavor. Related to carrots and parsley. Now what is celeriac? And what is that other 'parsley' in Mexican dishes and others - cilantro?  I used to like these flavors but at some point early on it became the same kind of distaste for me as squeaky chalk is to one's ears.

Cat and Pig try chocolate truffles, digital phone drawings, 5/2/19

Cat and pig want to try some chocolate truffles. Pigs really like underground truffles. They seem to be the only critters that can find underground truffles. They are very rare, a kind of mushroom. I have always thought truffles were the chocolate kind made with hazelnut nougat. There are different kinds of chocolate truffles. I've made fake single truffles with just butter, cocoa powder, and sugar. 

Here are some basic recipes they found:

Cat and Pig find Bats, Digital phone drawings, 4/17/19

Cat and Pig watch the bats come out. Digital phone drawings, 11/17/19, for National  Bat Appreciation Day.

Happy Batday to some.

Of course we may want some bat jokes to go with that. Hopefully they would not be too bat.

I love the little Maurice Sendak book, The Bat Poet. I''ll find out the author. Sendak illustrated.

Cat and Pig start a spring garden, digital phone drawings, 4/14/19

 Cat and Pig are minding their new Spring Garden. They have crocuses, they have Daffidils, they have  tulips, they have hyacinth, they have lily-of-the-valley. And of course they have dandelions, violets and butter cups! They'll have to get some pansies too, and then some irises.
 And then they can have some lovely bouquets in the house. Sitting in the middle of the of the dining table. Maybe where they have breakfast too. Maybe in the window on the window sill. It will be lovely on those gray days. Or on those days when April showers bring May flowers!

 . And it will be lovely when the sun shines on them. It always is nice to have those piles of color inside the house

Cat and Pig consider Pets and visit the Bookmobile, digital phone drawings, 4/11/19

What books did you get  Pig?
I got  poetry books by Christopher Robin's father, A A Milne: When We Were Very Young, and Now We are Six.
And I got a Winnie the Pooh book!
The Disney kind or the  original version?
The original of course! They are so funny.
And look what else I found! The Tale of Little Pig Robinson by Beatrix Potter. Also The Tale of Pigling Bland

Did you look for a book of the Three Little Pigs too? No, but maybe there also is The Three Lttle Pigs Two!

Cat and Pig have coffee cake and sew a quilt. , digital phone drawings, 4/7/19

Cat and Pig have coffee cake and sew a quilt. 

What's in the big coffee cake Pig? Oh some cinnamon and pecans and raisins. I am just curious. Lots of sugar I bet, and of course butter. You have to use  eggs and yeast. You could use walnuts instead of pecans. I make it with milk too, and flour.

Let's make our quilt with purple and green and yellow squares and triangles. We have a lot of sewing to do as we are doing it by hand. We're not using a sewing machine. We can  do a lot of talking while we sew. It will make a nice blanket or a bed cover. One will stay nice and warm under it come winter. In the summer it'll be a nice decoration on the sofa. We can make one for each of us. I wonder how long it will take us to make them.
