Pt.3 of our snow day: Nap #catsky

Pt.2 of our snow day: Do cats get dizzy? Walter's scramble #catsky

Morning with Walter #catsky We were too busy yesterday and he had things to say. Pt.1 of our snow day

Caught in the act! Walter joined our family a little over a year ago and this is the first time BeBe has let him do this! Normally he steals a kiss and gets a slap 😻 #catsky

The results of our attending a watercolor class…one of us let their mind wander during class and didn’t know what we were meant to be painting

Not perfect, but I think we got it mostly right since the fluffy bits are fluffy and the crunchy bits are yummy! Served with steelhead trout and tomato panzanelle. #homecooking #foodsky

Attempting our first tahdig! No idea what to expect and very excited #homecooking #foodsky

We got our hands on some morels so made poached salmon with a morel cream sauce #homecooking

We have somewhat different opinions regarding how to eat steamed cauliflower #homecooking

Yep! We’re learning to cook reading “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.”

Slow-roasted salmon with Meyer lemon salsa and a Greek salad. Any guesses what cook book we are reading? #homecooking#foodsky

They held this position for several minutes before commencing chase #catsky#cats

My father never wrote anything down, but I’m fairly certain this is his mother’s hummus recipe. It uses garlic paste instead of tahini and is one of my favourite things! #foodsky#homecooking

We have been learning to make avgolemono soup trying to replicate one we had at a restaurant in Columbus, OH. Tempered eggs on the first try!
Delicious, especially the second day, but not quite right. Guess we’ll have to make more soup! skinnyspatula.com/avgolemono-g... #learningtocook#cooking

Looks wonderful! We are trying to reproduce an avgolemono from a restaurant so have been eating A LOT of it, the mint oil sounds exciting

Walter is a 4 year old rescue kitty. He came from a hoarder, and is the most dog-like cat I’ve ever met. He wags his tail when playing fetch with paper balls. The balls MUST be made of scrap paper and he will turnover trash cans looking for crinkly garbage.
Cat crinkle toy? NO! Junk mail? YES!

BeBe showed up on our porch in Oct 2020. Less than a year old, she was starving with a large abscess on her back at the base of her tail.
5 years old now, still not fully on board with the indoor lifestyle and quick to excuse herself given an opportunity, BeBe is forever tiny and sweet #cds#cat
