Oh sure Netty, most of those sheltering in place are gaining weight (bored=eating!) and you are getting fighting fit and probably shedding a few...
Mart, spring hits some cats hard, spayed, neutered, or not. I do hope she shows up soon and you get a chance to spoil her rotten!
Oh that sounds so delicious! I just printed it out and we'll have some this week. Please thank the chef for me (and for everyone else who now has...
