Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2006before i go back to lurk mode a nice story
DH had set the pizza, in the boxes on the back porch to keep it cool, after he had gotten the generator un hooked and everything else plugged in he was cold and hungry so he decided to eat left over pizza, so he stepped out onto the porch and Chester zoomed past him and out into the growing darkness, DH was naturally very upset as Chester is not from around here and it is bitterly cold. so he called and looked for a few minutes to no avail and then he gave up and came in, he looked around for all the cats to double check, he saw five of the six and decided to eat his pizza and figure out what he would do next... he opened the top box... which was actually already open... odd... he looked inside the box... and 2 of the 3 slices in that box were naked... devoid of all topping... he just stared at the box... then heard the soft sound of CHESTER!!! who of course we call Chester the ingester... DH turns around and sees 2 yellow cats on the buffet eating crunchies... and realizes that a local feral had helped himself to those 2 slices of pizza... he put the 2 crusts back on the porch in case they were also desirable for the ferrules and ate a slice and then went and did puzzles... what a blessing when even the local feral cat population helps you with your diet... how very considerate of the cat, Lee > DH had set the pizza, in the boxes on the back porch to keep it cool > [...] a local feral had helped himself to those 2 slices of pizza... Our Ishtar once came through the catflap at breakfast time with a complete still-warm bacon roll. I never did find which of our neighbours had one inexplicably disappear. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 oh my, that is funny, Lee > > DH had set the pizza, in the boxes on the back porch to keep it cool > > [...] a local feral had helped himself to those 2 slices of pizza...

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > OK now for those of us not in the UK, what is a bacon roll? It's fried bacon inside a 6inch x 2inch piece of baked bread dough. Where I live we have bacon cobs. The cob is about 4 inches round and crusty. Sausage and mushroom cobs are wonderful. > And while we're at it, what is brown sauce? It comes in a bottle similar to tomato ketchup but it's brown and tastes completely different ;-) We put it on our bacon rolls, or to dip chips in (fries) Would be prepared to send a bottle to anyone who will reimburse the postage.

In Scotland we usually make them with soft white "morning rolls", about four inches square. That was what she brought in. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 > > DH had set the pizza, in the boxes on the back porch to keep it cool > > [...] a local feral had helped himself to those 2 slices of pizza... > Our Ishtar once came through the catflap at breakfast time with > a complete still-warm bacon roll.

Thanks for a lovely story! Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek I read this group regularly but until this recent thread rarely post, I always read and send purrs, and I am glad you liked the story, Lee, seriously considering posting more often > > DH had set the pizza, in the boxes on the back porch to keep it cool, after > > he had gotten the generator un hooked and everything else plugged in he was [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Best wishes, > Polonca and Soncek |
