Caturday: Where’s My Dinner

I’m aware I skipped over Furry Friday. I was hoping to get ReinDane photos, but never got around to it.

To make up for it:

It was 7:01 when I looked up from my computer to see this. Dinner was late. One minute late. This, of course, was unacceptable.

Holiday recipes WILL be up later today.

Holiday Cooking: Let’s Start with Lasagna And Finish with the Cookie Tray

Holiday cooking!

I just finished up gift lasagnas and the one for the Christmas Eve party. Why, no matter how I cut back, do I always end up with enough noodles for another lasagna?
