  • Today’s breakfast

    Last night, I had a “brainwave” – Since I haven’t got the pressure cooker yet, I’ll put everything into the slowcooker and let it brew overnight, in time for breakfast today. This morning, I was not awakened not by the cats, but by the aroma of this stew. Yes, it went all the way upstairs!…

  • Updates on Fifi, the rescued Siberian Husky (Lee’s)

    Yesterday, I contacted Ah Yoke to ask if she could get anymore information about Fifi from the former owner as Lee is concerned about Fifi’s medical history.
