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’…

movita’s veggie patch – progress report { 6 }

. . . 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…

happy father’s day

. . . 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…

freshen 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…

pasta 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.…

movita’s veggie patch – progress report { 3 }

. . . 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.…

kinda creamy pasta bake

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…
