movita’s favourite shrimp
. . . Three weeks from today I will start baking school. So, I was pretty excited when I got a call from Murphy Gear this morning to say that my clogs had arrived. My steel-toed, anti-slip, anti-shock, anti-pretty SIKA safety clogs. Quite a transition in footwear from the last time I went to school. In the…

I grew up in a village. I didn’t think much of it until one of my students said, “A village? Those are real? I thought they only existed in fairy tales.” Are kids getting dumber? Recently, Rosie Beaucoup brought out a whole bunch of stuff from my village childhood to show 2.0. Highlights included a clipping…
Read Moresuper easy pasta sauce {topped with shrimp… or not}
. . . 2.0 has been away on a golf trip. He goes every year with a ragtag group of other hairy, golf lovin’ creatures. I can only imagine what their rented condo smells like. It makes my eyes water. When 2.0 goes away, I do my best to eat as much shrimp as possible.…

Hello, friends. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve slowed down on my posts a little. Not because I don’t want to be here; quite the opposite, actually. I love you in a way that makes other people very uncomfortable. But I’m having a wee problem with writer’s block. Well, not writer’s block exactly.…

I’ve noticed that every blogger who cares about food in the least is presenting you with wonderful holiday treats these days. I’ve spent part of the morning reading about cookies, cakes, loaves, and candies. Beautiful photos of sparkly bits and bobs. Tales of holidays past. So, I present to you: shrimp pasta. Festive, right? Well,…

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 Moreslow cooker sunday – jimmy fallon’s crock pot chili
Yah, I know it’s not Sunday, but 2.0 and I have started a new tradition. Slow Cooker Sundays! I’m betting a billion other people have started the same tradition, since google had over 4 million results for the phrase “Slow Cooker Sunday,” but whatever. It’s new to us. Though, now that I think about it,…
Read Morejackie’s spicy chicken wings
On September 11th, 2.0 and I celebrated our third anniversary. We celebrated by eating 31 chicken wings. That’s how we do romance. Chicken wings followed by a good flossing of one’s teeth. I adapted this recipe from a recipe 2.0’s mummy, Jackie, gave us. 2.0’s sister, Kim, told me they were like, the best chicken…

Last weekend, 2.0 and I hosted the 2nd Annual Cat Farm BBQ. It was the bomb. We invited my family, 2.0’s family, and The Rutherfords. We invited The Rutherfords expecting that they wouldn’t actually show up. Imagine our faces when they were the first to arrive. I learned a couple of things last weekend: cooking…
