classic creamy coleslaw
Maybe you want to cook for your dad this weekend – apparently, it’s Father’s Day on Sunday. Or maybe you want to make something special for someone else in your life. Maybe you live in a place where the sun actually shines, and you’re planning a barbecue. Or a picnic! And maybe you’ve been thinkin’…

. . . Did you think I forgot? It’s Monday! I know you’ve been checking for updates all day. Whelp, there’s not much to report. We’ve been eating radishes, and they are sublime. We even had enough to share with Bill Beaucoup – a diehard radish fan. We’ve had a couple of sunny days, so…

. . . People who know me will tell you I’m organized. The obsessive compulsive, anal retentive kind. I like everything to be in its spot. A friend of mine used to call my apartment The Museum. And when you don’t do things my way, I’m most likely thinking there’s something wrong with you. In…
Read Morefreshen up
Today I’ve been doing. Doing and doing. Doing loads of things. It’s sunny, and I’ve got all the windows open. There is laundry drying on the line, and the kitties are laying in sunny patches. I went for a walk in the park. I believed the doctor when she said that I don’t look 39. I…

. . . It’s a big day at the Cat Farm: I don’t have to go to work, I don’t have to do anything work related, I harvested our first crop of veggies. Radishes. Sweet little radishes. It’s so exciting! .
Read Moregranola bars
A couple of months ago, 2.0 and I bought a huge box of granola bars from Costco. As in, we consumed about 80 granola bars in just over two months. You see, we’re a lot like Olivia Newton John: we like to get physical. Our jobs are physically demanding, so we need to fill our…

. . . I’m alive. Despite the best efforts of about 300 dancers to induce a major stroke, I’m alive. I’ve survived another day of year-end shows. My deltoids are so sore from lugging costumes four blocks to the theatre yesterday, that I can barely lift my arms today. And all of that squatting to…
Read Morepasta salad
Looking for something easy to throw together for dinner? Something that won’t kill you? How about a fresh pasta salad? How about a pasta salad that requires absolutely no culinary skills? Something a monkey could make – provided that monkey could cook pasta and slice a few veggies. Whelp, I’m here to answer your prayers.…

. . . Guess what? Nope. Guess again. Nope. Okay, I’ll tell you – we had sun this weekend! Almost two days worth. But there was a trade off. Yesterday, as we planted our containers (on a day which promised sun but instead delivered dark clouds), we could see our breath on the air. Yup.…

We’re winter eating. Yup. Here at the Cat Farm, we’re still winter eating. Because there has been no sun. Actually, that’s a lie, because yesterday, for the first time in a month, we had a few hours of sun. I didn’t see it because I was locked in the studio, but I’m told it was totally…
