Roasted Marinated Root Vegetable Salad with Crispy Kale. This was really good. It's served cold, so it is good for potlucks. For some reason, the lighting wasn't cooperating, but you get the idea.

Savory Hazelnut and Herb Stuffing in Winter Squash. The depth of flavor was amazing. The key was that Birgitte made her own savory broth. It also has lentils, yum!

Creamy Rice Pudding with Warm Cherry Sauce. It has coconut milk in it, which makes it very rich, yet it was not a filling dessert. Very delicious.

This is a pic of Faline hanging out in the cat pen on my lawn chair last summer. You can just barely see her "tattoo" on her arm. I thought it was her gang symbol since she is such a tough cat, but my vet told me that it was probably hair that grew in after an injury since typically it will grow back in a different color. We checked and sure enough, Faline has a scar there which I had never noticed.
This also happened to Kobie when he lost fur from a skin rash and it grew in black instead of his reddish brown color. So he has spots. Hmmm... maybe he is trying to take over the title of Spotted Devil Cat. In this pic, he's looking up at an airplane and contemplating barking at it. The barks translate to: Don't fly over my yard, you stupid airplane!
