MEOW

I know this looks totally fake, but it is a real cat. Google "Verismo". There is a man that breeds massive Maine Coons and his website has plenty of pictures. In fact, Leo, the world's largest cat is one of his and Leo even has his own web page with pictures and stats. Can you imagine if he wanted to curl up in your lap? I'd seriously be afraid this cat would kill me in my sleep. So, until I find our elusive camera cord, check back for more of my random blogs...

Please, have mercy

I was browsing online "Romantic dinner for two" recipes and came across this horrifying picture. When I came to the realization a few years ago that lobster were boiled alive, I stopped eating the little guys. I never really like them in the first place because you dip them in butter and I hate the flavor of butter, but now I don't eat them based on principle. I eat meat. And I am well aware all animals must die in order for us to eat them. I'm sure none of it's pretty. But, I am fairly certain that a chicken or cow are not BOILED ALIVE in order to kill them. What? Can you imagine being boiled alive? And, even better, this romantic recipe specifically tells you to put the LIVE lobster in the pot, HEADFIRST. Yeah right. In 12 minutes, presto, you have dinner. No, I am not Tom Hanks in Castaway and therefore have choices about my food. I prefer to think we can do this in a more civilized manner. And I've heard this nonsense about lobsters not having feelings. That rumor was probably started by someone who eats at Red Lobster so often he has his own embroidered bib. So, for any of you who feel like having a homicidal romantic dinner for two tomorrow night, here's the link to the recipe. http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/steamed-lobster-seafood-recipes

Apology

I'm sorry our blog is so boring! We actually have been doing things and have pictures to post, but we can't find Aaron's camera cord to download them to my computer. You think we'd be able to manage what little space we have, but no. I'm pretty sure it's my fault because I used it last, but I'm still deflecting the blame. I'm going to our storage unit tonight for some other stuff, so I'll see if it happened to make it's way over there. Stay tuned...
