Furry Friday: Cat Cafe

A Cat Cafe opened nearby and a few of us went to give them support. Also, to pet kittehs. They specialize in older cats, but there were still a few young ones there, too.

This beauty found her forever home today, so that was fun. Although she had second thoughts when she saw the crate. I thought we were going to have a runner!

This guy stole my heart immediately. Then went to take a nap for the rest of our visit.

Work Wednesday: Dreams and Creativity

I went to bed the other night, knowing how the last two chapters of FULL SAIL were going to play out, or so I thought. When I woke up, everything had changed.

This line was running through my head.:

I thought it would be fun to take Mulholland Drive back to the hotel. Instead, it almost killed me.

I was toying with some type of scenic drive on Mulholland Drive. I mean, would my gal TJ really be driving a sporty Porsche and not take the iconic drive? I think not. And wouldn’t it be much more thrilling if that drive became a life-or-death endeavor?

And that’s how we got here…or will once I map out the details. Don’t worry, I’ll put the pedal to the metal… (I’ll see myself out now).

Monday Menu: Quick and Easy Skillet Buffalo Chicken

I really like to whip up quick flavorful dinners.  Buffalo chicken is a favorite and I’m always experimenting with making it better.  This time I tossed the chicken in seasoned potato starch and thought it was the ingredient that had been missing. It makes the chicken pieces crisp up nicely and added a depth of flavor beyond the sauce.

It is great served over rice, salad, mashed or baked potatoes, drizzled with bleu cheese dressing, and a side of celery.  All the flavor of wings without the prep time or mess.
