Here are the people participating in the double PIF. Thanks so much for joining me, it should be really fun.
Please email me your mailing address at "sdcatvegan [at] gmail.com", so I can send you your PIF loot. Note that it will take me a couple of months to make it. I'm slow, but steady.

~~~~~I had to try this
mango & coconut cake when I read about it a while back on
Sal's (Alien on Toast) blog. Hats off to you, Sal, for sharing such an amazing recipe!
It was so good, that I've made it twice now. One of these days, the cake will last long enough to try the frosting recipe. The second time I added pineapple and it was even more fantastic. The mangoes don't have to be perfect, so if you get a blah mango, this is the perfect way to use it.

Believe it or not, it's been really hot and sunny the past few days here in the Seattle area. Of course, we're now back to gloomy weather, but the sun bolstered my mood and I will survive until the next burst of sun.
Now that it is warmer,
Kobie will be fighting me tooth and nail to stay outside all day and night until bedtime. Which is fine except when he is really hot and needs to cool down. Stubborn doggie! Here is a pic that I took through the window of him sleeping on the porch.
Tubs is pinning down
Chippy so he can groom him. lick, lick, lick, bite. The nosy
Judge is watching.

Tubs took off and
The Judge moved in. Mostly so he can see what I'm doing. That's what a pesky photographer's assistant does.
