Andrew's Cat Conquests

One thing I've noticed in my time with Andrew is that animals love him.

Case and point - Andrew's interactions with my kittie-nephew Ben. Ben is only nice when he's hungry, as in, he'll purr up a storm as he's leading you to his food bowl.

Here's Ben playing the "sniff my finger" game with Andrew:


Here's Ben looking at my hand like what the heck is that doing near me:


This is the grumpy, pissed off face that Ben usually gives me:

Back to Andrew, this is their "bros for life" pose - this may look like it took place on the same day as the first picture, but it's actually another day that Ben leaped onto the table to be close to Andrew:

Andrew's latest conquest - his parent's new kitteh, which remains unnamed. The kitteh likes to nap on Andrew's lap and wait for Andrew outside the bathroom while he showers.

The latest twist - "she's" actually a he! So now we need male names.

I like Simon in honor of St. Simons island. Or Loki, to go along with Thor's Norse name.

I Can Has Cheezburger...Cupcakes?

Thanks to Amy, I'm now aware of a new way to decorate cupcakes - as cheeseburgers!

As Andrew, Phu and I will be doing the twenty mile, Walk for Hunger tomorrow, Phu graciously hosted us for a pasta dinner tonight.

Here's a look at the homemade sauce brimming with vegetable goodness - there was zucchini, onions, mushrooms, carrots, and spinach, in addition to turkey meatballs:



Here's Ben licking his chops at the thought of the sauce - or yawning. :)



Ben the kitteh did seem interested in the pasta scooping action:



My healthy meal with whole wheat pasta and Phu's tomato sauce:

My contribution to the feast was garlic bread, using a yummy Whole Food's French baguette:



Hopefully, if the rain stays away, we'll be good to go tomorrow on the Walk!
