Earls_Music - 19 Feb 2008 06:32 GMT Our block has 4 "cat houses". 3 are 40ish spinsters and one is a recently unattached Lesbian. Today, once again, there is a black cat under our bird feeder, a big yellowish (tabby?) hiding in the boxwood and spraying almost every day, and a 3-legged black cat snoozing under my car, also watching our bird feeder occasionally. We get at least one dead bird a month, left behind by a cat who doesn't know what to do with its kill and whose owner won't give it a damn tinklebell collar. There are 6 "dog houses" on our block and except for occasional early morning barking, they are barely noticable, and certainly no problem. f.ck cats and their keepers, at least in this town.

Artichoke-Shrimp Turnovers
These savory one-bite turnovers are great for parties because they can be prepared ahead of time and baked right before serving. To vary the recipe, add chopped roasted red bell peppers or pitted Mediterranean olives in place of the artichoke hearts.
Recipe By: Cooking Pleasures Serving Size: 24 Cuisine: American Main Ingredient: Artichoke Categories: Bake, Shrimp, Garlic, Olive Oil, Hors dOeuvres, Appetizers
-= Ingredients =- FILLING 2 teaspoons olive oil 2 large garlic cloves ; minced 1/2 lb. shelled ; deveined uncooked small or medium shrimp, chopped 1/2 cup artichoke hearts ; well-drained, chopped 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon fennel seeds ; crushed 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper PASTRY 1/2 recipe Puff Pastry
-= Instructions =- 1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat until warm. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add shrimp; cook 30 seconds or until shrimp just begin to turn slightly pink but are not cooked through (they will continue cooking in the oven). Place in medium bowl; stir in all remaining filling ingredients. 2. On floured surface, roll half of the puff pastry into 14x10 1/2-inch square 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 12 (3 1/2-inch) squares, using a sharp knife and being careful to cut straight down. Place 1 tablespoon filling on one side of each pastry square; fold pastry over. Press with fork to seal; place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining puff pastry and filling. (Turnovers can be made to this point up to 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. An additional 2 minutes baking time may be needed.) 3. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Darn, I don't have my recipes on this PC! I baked a couple of potatoes last night and made baked pork chops. I did sort of a homemade "Shake N Bake" coating; no measuring, just eyeballed things.
Combine plain dry breadcrumbs with a little flour in a large zip-lock bag. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and some dried parsley. Mix it all up. Rinse the pork chops under cool water, then place in the bag of coating (one at a time, I had 4 center cut chops about 1/2 inch thick). Shake it up until coated. Place the chops on an ungrease baking sheet. Bake at 425F about 15 minutes. When they're ready you'll be able to easily poke a fork in the meaty part.
These turned out so well Mom actually ate TWO! She's skinny as a rail, literally, so it't gratifying to see her eat :) But so much for my plan to have 2 leftover chops to heat up with something else for later in the week LOL

Thank you for sharing this extremely important information related to the killing of birds by domestic cats. If the cats were owned by men or by normal nuclear families or by long-legged, big-titted blonde 20-somethings, I'm sure the birds would be much safer. Let's get the cats out of the hands of middle-aged spinsters and lesbians, where they are clearly being trained to kill off the neighborhood's birds, and probably will go after the human males next.

Definitely a recipe depository. I have to take Mandy to get her IDs updated, or I'd dig one up myself. I'll see what I have after we get home.

Not my style and I hope I never ever see a man in a muu muu. My current interests are mainly music, photography, legs, reiki (without the mumbo-jumbo) and wildlife (other than cats and snakes), not in that particular order on any given day. What are your interests? The only friend I have who is a cat person was abused terribly, and her favorite thing to do is work "poopie box" into every conversation. We don't talk much. I've found that some lower level minds think that because I have an off-the-wall sense of humor and a brazen streak, that I would enjoy things that they think are wild such as fart joke books, and Southern Rock songs whut gots cussin' in 'em. Nope. Keep those things on *your* side of the creek. Anyway, I hope you find your muu muu guy, you seem to miss him pretty badly.

Marina - 22 Feb 2008 12:59 GMT > Definitely a recipe depository. here's a delicious and very easy recipe i found on bbc food http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/ just before my operation. i didn't bother to remove the skins of the tomatoes. what a job that would be if you made the whole recipe - peel 0.5 kilos of cherry tomatoes. hehehe.

You obviously attach too much faith to "belling the cat"! I gave up on bells after watching too many cats move up on unsuspecting birds so smoothly that the bell made no sound until the cat pounced.

Hmm. I didn't realize that. However. such an animal is therefore "feral" and not a proper pet. Back to the "keep your cat at home" argument.
