November 17, Tried and tested.


OK, first I'll admit that I only completely tried the first item, the beet juice.  Honestly after trying the drink and the results I'm a bit cautious in my eating endeavors.  Yes, I'll tell you what happened!!! I drank half this 16oz cup ( I chose this flavor because I figured it was the healthiest choice) I shared the other half of the cup with Charlie, good thing.   After we got back home I went to the bathroom to pee YUP! gosh!! what a horrible shock!! I had even joked with the little lady that sold it to me about it showing up later.  How soon we forget.  I questioned Charlie about it and he confirmed the results, which made me feel so much better, even I don't like to be surprised by inappropriate colors in wrong places. 
So, right now I'm baking the second thing in the photos, yes the thing that looks like hairy bull testicles, they are some kind of Yam.  I asked how to cook them and thought, tis the season! 
The last item is sugar cane.  I was all excited when I got it because another person talked about planting it.  You know how I am, getting all excited about growing stuff, clearly the urge is fading.  I'm only going to try to chew some of the stuff now to get an idea of the taste. After looking up the planting process I said No Way, its a very long process, easy, yes but time consuming still.  So I'll let you know later how the tasting goes, if you don't hear about it and still see more blog posts, you'll know I didn't die.





So remember, if you see something new to eat give it a try, but if it has a vibrant color expect to see it later!!!!

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
