Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why does my cat have dandruff?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Of course! We even have a guest bed in Noah's room. We won't leave Noah in there with you. Necessarily.

Was he enthusiastic? Not really. We had some food about an hour before. The OT chided us and said we needed a sippy cup with a straw (because the other sippy cups encourage a bad tongue thrust and a kid with an ET high palate will have enough problem with talking like bugs bunny) and he needed to self feed.

The problem with self-feeding is that it's horribly inefficient. It takes so LONG. And it will work better when he hasn't already had a lot of broccoli cheddar soup and a jar of pears and raspberries.

I wish it was storming here. That would be exciting, about the only excitement in my life right now is watching a British Spy Drama.

Our wings are not tired.

We had thunderstorms earlier. It was a beautiful thing. They drenched our fires too, which should help the morning air.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Food storage question: I know you're not supposed to refreeze stuff without cooking it in between. But what about bread? I took a loaf of bread (fresh bread that I baked and then froze) out of the freezer, but now I realize that I'm probably not going to eat it before I go away for a few days. Safe to put it back in the freezer? I'm pretty sure the "don't refreeze" thing is because it's giving the bacteria way more time to grow, and I don't think that bacteria is that much of a problem with a loaf of bread. Right?

Why does my cat have dandruff?

The same reason MK does. I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA. And given his diabetes, I'll just deal without screwing with anything. I've heard oils (fish oil etc) ingested help.

Feeding is rarely efficient. Said as someone often bored with eating lately. I'm trying to maximize protein because it is too easy to get bored/filled long before I've eaten enough (it's really weird.) May I suggest nekkid and a dropcloth? (Um, for wee ones. Wouldn't help my issues. For the record.)

It the high palate & tongue thrust rather early remnants or just him? ( you can ignore this, I'm just being too curious because all sorts of woe, language and teeth and eating, were predicted due to my thumbsucking. Until 9.)

Hey, I volunteered before. I will again, especially since he sleeps more now! And goodness knows by now, I sleep hard. Unless I shouldn't. Or can't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would think so, but I also think that freezing bread makes it less good, so freezing twice would make it double-plus less good.

I agree, but I'm not going to eat it this week, and it's not really good enough to give to anyone (what I usually do with leftover baked goods), and so if I don't refreeze it, I'll probably just end up throwing it out. Which seems worse than just having it be not quite as good as before.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'd refreeze. If when you thaw it out , it isn't good - then toss it.
