We are joining Comedy Plus’s Happy Tuesday for today’s post.   Click on the name or the badge and be swept away with a huge broom.

Hey Coop, you look like somethings bothering you.    I know Shoks but I love being with Tyebe.  She is so busy and sure sleeps hard.  That she does Coop.                                               

See Coop, this is my fishing hole.  You look like it’s time to go home my favourite guy.  You need to see your family, don’t you?  Ya, my Crackle your Snap needs to show mom and dad just how much they mean and all the other furries too.  Let’s go my pot….no I was going to say pot of gold.  Don’t look at me that way Shoko.

I want to thank your mom for having me. Let’s go fly away.  mol  Oh Tyebe.                                                                         

Hold on tight Coop.  It’s only 1C or 33,8F today .  Pretty soon we’ll be outta the north and nearing Virginia which will be warmer.

 

Sunday Selfie with Tyebe

This is Selfie Sunday at The Cat On My Heads place.  Click on the badge or the name and join the animals chatting and generally expressing themselves.

  However a family member by the name of Giulietta, passed over to the bridge a few days back and Coop’s  feeling down in the dumps  so I flew him up here to be with us for a little while.                                                       

Hey Coop, tell us a wee bit about Giulietta.  I liked her and  would jump on her head to see how she would like a two ton truck on her!  mol  I kept trying to tell her about the importance of being prepared.  She never caught on but just figured I was picking on her.  She was a beauty.

I know you hate to see your mom and dad upset but they are strong like you.  Snuggle with me Snap and I’ll help by snoring those upsetting thoughts away.                                                                     

This our selfie for today.

You know Snap, one of us should lose weight and then we’d fit in here better.  Tyebe we probably wouldn’t be as close.

 

 

Friday Feline Fill Ins From Fort Meezer

One very sunny day here in the north.  Both Shoko and I ran outside first thing this morning when the temperature was 2C.  It is now 8C with a huge yellow ball in the sky but Shoko has ducked back inside. Shoko, you look kinda fuzzy……pull yourself together sis.

Mom wants Shoko to get fresh air so out Shoko goes.

Today is Feline Friday at Comedy Plus so get down there and visit some very cool posts by some happy yet zany friends.                                                                            Also Friday is Fill In day with Ellen of 15 and Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs with Lorianne.

1. ANTS… makes my skin crawl.  WE DON’T EVEN HAVE PICTURES OF ANTS….THEY ARE RARELY TO BE FOUND AROUND HERE.  Mr. Goggle supplied one for us to show you.

2. I enjoy …..A DUST BATH IN SUMMER.
                                                             

3. I consider myself…..A KEEN WILDLIFE EXPERT..  I’m in the bushes behind the Kit Kat Klub where many a mouse has been found.  The Kit Kat Klub has never had a mouse cause all us kitties that use the Lane keep the Klub free of vermin.                                                                   

4. MOUSIES….. and TREATS….. ARE NOT A GOOD MIX.  YOU’D THINK THEY WOULD BE, BUT NO WAY.  THE TASTE IS STOMACH TURNING.

There is no way I am showing you a picture of me barfing.  So here I am burping with some daintiness.                                                               

BUUUURRRRP!  S’cuse me for the belch my friends! It was suppose to be dainty.  Well, it sure wasn’t dainty, Tyebe  Guess dad is wearing off on me.

In Purrsuit of Flavours, The Season of the Stew

36 Replies

Here it is the beginning of October!  Where did summer go?  We had a week of very hot weather in June where 500 people died in BC because  of the heat,  It shows you what heat can do to a relatively cool area.  We now have a mobile A/C in case hell comes back to visit.                                                         

Me laying on the clothes hamper in June. I was searching for someplace cool.

We are  joining Comedy Plus for Wordless Wednesday.  click on the name or the badge and visit Comedy Plus and a whole bunch of your friends,                                                                     

Phenny, Nellie and their mom are co-hosting Stew Season with us.  Do on whip over to their place and see what they and their friends are offering today.  Just click on their names in red.

Time now, for the season of the stew. We thought we’d try something simple and easy to make. This is from a recipe on-line.
TADA!!                                                                             

SIMPLE BEEF STEW

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp.. vegetable oil
1 lb. stewing beef…cut into bite sized pieces
1/4 tsp salt
4 cups assorted vegetables (carrots, onions, celery, potatoes and/or any leftover veggies in your fridge) We pulled out some frozen pea pods from last year and threw them in the mixture.                                                             

1 can beef broth or consommé. Consommé has more body to it.
1 can of tomato sauce with basil, garlic and oregano.                                         

 

Bring on over the stewing beef, Tyebe. Here you go Shokorooney. mol Don’t call me that! I hate that name. I know…mol mol

DIRECTIONS

Heat 1 tbsp. of oil in large skillet or fry pan over medium high heat.  Add meat and salt.  Cook 5 minutes, stirring until browned on all sides.  Remove from frying pan.

At this stage I chose the stew for the crock pot.  If, it was cooked on the stove it would be ready (ya, right) in 55 minutes!  I could not imagine such a tough meat being cooked so fast so I chose the recipe for the crock pot.

Put braised stewing meat in crockpot.  Followed by the rest of the vegetables, consommé and tomato sauce.  Stir to combine.  Cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. or until meat is tender

Mom and dad like their carrots a little firmer so we put them in about an hour before time was done.

                                                                   BONY PET-TEES

REVIEW by mom and dad

Tyebe and Shoko did an excellent job of making the stew. The size of the meat and vegetables was just right.  The meat was as soft and tender to eat as beef tenderloin. The peapods were a perfect addition. However, dad and I found that the tomato sauce overwhelmed the taste of the meat and the vegetable. Next time they can omit the sauce and add a couple of tomatoes.

Slightly Wordy Wednesday with Tyebe

36 Replies

I am here to give you the reminder that In Purrsuit of Flavours is coming out next Wednesday, the 6th of October,  Now, Phenny and Shoko fussed about a Halloween theme or a cold weather theme.  The cold weather theme won out.  Let’s see if you can guess the dish.  What do Stewart Little and Rod Stewart have in common?                                                 

Well, stew of course. This means any kind of stew you can create. We of course have a surprise stew but it is a simple one.

There will not be a reminder Monday as we will probably be making our stew. So this is the date for Stew Season.

We are joining Wordless Wednesday on Comedy Plus even if we spoke. Click on the icon to be swept over there.

Today I plan on taking a selfie while pretending to sleep.  I have practiced all morning and have got the shot down.

Pretty good, eh? I didn’t miss an ear or anything. Those little tripods are excellent.

I also have been out in the Lane again. This time of the year is awesome for catching mice as they are looking for a winter home, what with the cold coming.

Mom’s neighbor got a picture of a black bear in her yard at 3am last night but it’s pretty black and all you can see are it’s eyes blinking.  Shows you how close the bears can get to humans when they are foraging for enough food to see them through hibernation.

Still, I wouldn’t want to meet this black giant.
