It’s finally here…my 2nd. Gotcha Day. I must have a bath and comb my white locks. *lick* *lick*

Where are you going Shoko? I just felt like having a ride on the magic carpet….see ya soon.

Furries will be here soon.  I’ll be back in a twist of your whisker.  Up, up and away!!

SHOKO…..PITCH BLACK
TYEBE…..ROYAL BLUE
COOPERM…AMBER
BUDD……GILLS of GREEN
MOM…….MAROON

I sure hope Coopermurphy’s ready to leave.  What a beautiful view….so those are the famous Blue Ridge Mountains.  Wonder if there are lots of hilly billies

in there.  Weird guys like in Deliverance. Riding peeps like pigs.  Gives me the creeps…*shivers*.

There’s the Blue house.  The one with the lovely trees.  I don’t want to park on a tree branch so I better guide the carpet slowly….Coop, hop on and put on the seat belt…it’s kinda bumpy going over the mountains.  So you’ve seen the Blue Ridge Mountains Sho.  Sure enough Coop.  The area is very pretty.  Not like the mountains we know…the rockies but so picturesque and beautiful.  I think the tall mountains are a waste….who ever sees the top except for mountain climbers and those flying over on a clear day?  So the birds could tell us lots about the mountains.  The Blue Ridge Mountains are not too steep to climb.

What a grand view.

Are you warm enough Coop? We are pretty close to Fort Meezer now so its cooler.  There it is…slowly we go down, down and down some more.

Perfect landing Shoks…Thanks for the ride. Coop undoes his seat belt and runs in the house to change into his birthday suit?                                                         

Aww…that kind of birthday suit! You’ll knock her booties off, Snap.

I must talk with your mom,,,like now.  Ok dude, let me get her. You look so handsome CooperMurphy….Tyebe will be mesmerised.  Thank you mam.  What should I call you…Tyebe’s mom?  How about calling me TM for Tyebe’s mom.  It’s easy to remember.  Ok, that is easy.  I have a very serious question to ask you, TM.  May I become Tyebe’s boyfriend.  I waited till she was 2.  I really want to be with her.  She is the sweetest lil lady since maple syrup.  Yes, I know she can be cantankerous too but so can I.  We’ll make a good cranky pair….mol  Tyebe has shown maturity with her dealings in Cat Scouts so I’m going to say yes, Coop.  Hot diggity!!  You’ll see, I’ll treat her like a princess, TM.  Coop you are a fine young mancat.  Now, go tell Tyebe how you feel.                                                                     

Furries are starting to arrive,  Tyebe.  There’s Angel Easy.  I told you that I visited  with Angel Easy when I went to to France.  Easy wasn’t an angel then.  Where’s Snap…my GingerSnap?  I don’t know, Tyebe….maybe he couldn’t make it.

Hey, there are Tea and Chef Pete Hartley. from Cat Scouts and Phenny and Neilson.                                                 

 

Where’s Mau…bet he’s in helping mom with the cake. Here they come. Oh what a beautiful cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

♫ Happy Gotcha Day to you Tyebe….♫  There you are Snap.  Shoko scared me and told me maybe you couldn’t make it.

TYebe, will you be my girlfriend. We waited until you turned 2 and your mom says yes, she will agree to us becoming girlfriend and boyfriend. What do you say my white wonder?

Oh Snap, yes, I will be your girlfriend. You better treat her right or you’ll answer to me CooperMurphy. I lived on the streets for many years and I know how ro make someone see things my way. Budd pounds his paw into the dirt in the basket.  Doesn’t he look huge in the basket, Snap? CooperMurphy gulps hard and assures Budd he will always be there for Tyebe and treat her with respect.

Let’s EAT!  We have shrimp direct from the barbie on a stick.  The shrimp not the barbie. mol                                             

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice looking sticks, eh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lemon Garlic shrimp. You guessed it. Shrimp is Tyebe’s favorite seafood.

Who wants a game of pin the tail on Tea? mol  Let’s gp get the tail…mol

Why hello there.  You came a long way to my Gotcha Party.  Have a 7 up and some shrimp and let your fur down.

Starting at the left here is Coop, Lily, Charlie Mau and Ting.  Charlie , Lily and Ting are from the UK and had a time of it crossing the Atlantic. Welcome friends.

There’s grape Kittenweiser in the cooler and some 7 up. along with Cranberry Punch  Fill your booties.                                                   

Thank you for a lovely party everyone.

Another month has rolled around so Katty and the dudes from Easy Blog and mom chatted about what we will focus on in the month of May.  Phenny suggested breads.  Tyebe was all for breads…braided bread appealed to her and then she could wear braids.  Mom pointed out her hands didn’t bend the way they needed to in order to knead the bread.  I decided if she had this problem then others may also.  Then they decided on Dough Day where we could make anything with dough in it.  Like pizza dough, wraps, dough for chicky/beef pies.  So many selections…I hear they even sell pizza dough mix.  So Dough Day it is.

Tyebe and I mewed about what kind of dough for Dough Day.  We finally decided on biscuits with an Italian twist. Now, biscuits in Italy are like cookies or Biscotti.  They are hard little boogers that just about break one’s teeth.  These are out cause mom would look too funny without teeth. mol

 

We finally decided to make up our own recipe with the ingredients we associate with Italy. The recipe would be of biscuits but North American biscuits, not hard cookies.

So we took a pretty basic baking powder biscuit recipe and added our slice of Italy.  Well, it was gross!!  These biscuits were tasteless and hard as rocks.

I bit into a biscuit and it was so dry….crumbles immediately tumbled out.  I decided to entertain myself with some juggling.  Meanwhile Tyebe was playing floor hockey with Budd using a biscuit.  There’s always a fun side to any boo boo.  We could have named these biscuits…..hockey pucks. mol

Ok, Tyebe we have to try this again but with a different basic recipe.  Fur sure Shoks.  We need more moisture and taste,                                                                         

Here we go:
Ingredients

2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup of butter or shortening (We used butter)
1 cup milk

Mix ingredients. Not too much as the dough will become tough.

ITALIAN MIX

1 to 1/12 tablespoons of fresh shredded garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder (we used fresh shredded garlic)
8 halves of sun dried tomatoes…from a bag or 1/4 to 1/3 cup of sun dried tomatoes in oil.
3/4 cup of green olives with pimento
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tablespoon basil, crushed
1 tablespoon oregano, crushed

INSTRUCTIONS

1/ Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2/ In a food processor combine the flour. baking powder, salt and garlic powder if you want garlic powder if no garlic powder then blend the aforementioned dry ingredients….guess you could throw the Parmesan Cheese in too or later during the mixing.

3/ In a large mixing bowl combine milk, minced sun dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese and minced/shredded garlic and dry ingredients.  Do not overmix.

4/ Sprinkle a little flour onto your counter and roll out the biscuit dough. The dough should be about an inch thick or 1 1/2 inches if you choose.  Cut the biscuits into squares with a knife  or cut in circles with a glass or cookie cutter.

NOTE: Some of you may see that the green olives in this bowl are actually black. That’s cause the picture is from the first batch of biscuits….the black olives are so mild that one doesn’t taste them.

5/ Place on parchment paper or grease the baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Serve with soup, salad or/& with butter.

You will notice these biscuits are the size of hamburger buns.  They are filling tasty critters.  1/2 a biscuit fills mom.
