haddy’s shrimp pasta
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,…

. . . Hello, friends. How have you been? Did you notice my new domain name? Oh, for heaven’s sake. You know I do all of this for you, right? I was all, what can I do for my fans? And I thought, I’ll become a dot-commer. Because I knew you’d love it. And I…

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 – 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 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…

Looking for something yummy to put in your belly? Look no further, my friend. When I started cooking this on the weekend, 2.0 came up the basement stairs, sniffing, almost immediately. It takes a fair amount to drag that man away from televised sporting events, so it’s to be considered a real stamp of approval.…

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…
Read Moremovita’s super easy pasta with garlicky cream sauce
It happens. You have a day, maybe a week, when nothing seems to get done. The to-do list keeps growing, and nothing gets checked off. This often happens at the Cat Farm, especially at this time of year – my most hectic time at work, and one of the busiest times for the gardens and…
Read Morespaghetti and meatballs: make on day 1, eat on day 2
Patience is a virtue. I made this spaghetti and meatball masterpiece on Friday afternoon. 2.0’s family was planning a visit for Saturday evening, so I wanted a crowd pleaser that could be assembled at the last minute when I got home from the studio. When I did a little taste test, it was good. But when…
