pussycat polvorones
I have a friend. Her name is Pussycat. I’m Owl, and she’s Pussycat. You know, like the Edward Lear poem. The one about the owl that falls in love with a cat? They went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat? Read a book for cripes’ sake. Anyhoo, I met Pussycat when we were…

Guess what? Nope. Guess again. No. Guess again. Okay, I don’t know why you’d even suggest that. Cheesus. I’m just going to tell you. The Cat Farm is getting a major internet overhaul today. Yup. We’re getting FibreOp 2.0. We don’t know what the hell that is, but we know we like anything 2.0. Also,…
Read Moreyippie cakes
I know what you’re thinking: those are whoopie pies. But you’d be wrong. Here at the Cat Farm, we call ’em yippie cakes. Because that’s how 2.0 likes it. And I accommodate this request. Mostly because he made up the name himself, and has called them yippie cakes since he was a kid. And I…

The kitties here at the Cat Farm have, no lie, started peeing in litter box #1 and pooping in litter box #2. Weird, right? In other news, The Rutherfords won Pumpkin Carve-Off 2011. I must admit, their pumpkin was pretty dope. And thanks to you, my arch nemeses have won yet another competition. Oh, and…

… and a last minute entry. The Rutherfords. What can I say? In typical Rutherford form, they sent their Pumpkin Carve-Off entry in at 4:05 pm, Sunday afternoon. 16 hours late, and five minutes after the final grouping was posted. And at first I was all like, too late, Rutherfords – you can suck it. But…

Are you excited? The entries are in! I’ve got some super awesome pumpkins to show you. Some of the competitors sent in two entries! That means that they either a) really like movita, or b) have no real quality of life. And since there were no rules about the number of submissions, I’m posting them…
Read Moreclassic cupcakes
Friends, you might want to give this cupcake recipe a try. The cupcake itself has a classic vanilla-almond flavouring. The icing is a variation on a classic buttercream. But friends? Don’t use black food colouring in the icing. Don’t. You might be thinking: but movita! That cupcake looks pretty good all dressed in greyish-black. And then…
Read Moreslow cooker sunday – crockpot bbq beer chicken
Sundays have become… not fun. Well, they are partly fun. When I close the studio door and it’s just me and my dancers at rehearsal? Fun. But when a parent comes to me and says that the rehearsal schedule is impossible to follow because it has been printed on more than one page and she…
Read More2.0’s snack mix
This is a variation of a snack mix recipe that one of my students, Eda, gave me. Eda is in my Ballet for Seniors class. Yah, that’s right. Every Tuesday I’m faced with a group of the coolest seniors on the planet. Trust me, you wanna be them. Über cool. Awesome like the bestest, funnest…
