Pet Parade

 Samantha 1993-2008

 In November, I sent photos of Lukas to a company which makes canvas pet portraits. His turned out so well that I attempted to do the same with photos of all of the other cats I've raised in the last 30 years. I will be hanging them together in pride of place as soon as I find a good spot. In the meantime:

What's Cooking

 I was craving some soup, shrimp and vegetables over the weekend. so I shifted my meal plans for the week to accommodate these items. Stir-fry was first up. followed by non-koi pond soup as you can see below.

Lots of mixed veg, noodles, broth and the last of the canned chicken from hurricane supplies I am attempting to use up as they are slightly beyond use by or best by dates.

Among the nutrients and antioxidants in shrimp are some B vitamins, choline, selenium and zinc, While I do not eat it often, shrimp was a staple in childhood and when I have to have some, I do.

The stir-fry is fresh carrot, cabbage, kale, sliced Brussel sprout, pea pod and Bok choy. 

What do you crave these days??
