If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ooh, Pioneer Woman! I love her stuff.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I just peeked in the oven, and some of the cobbler-cupcakes have risen up in rebellion and overflowed the top of their proscribed cup. But since I'll be flipping them upside down when they're done, it pretty much doesn't matter.

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

Yes, but it was a surprise kitten. They're the best kind.

Yes, I have a cat, and I cannot have another one. But this are such cute tiny baby kittens I just want to steal one! There are 5 all black kittens and one stripey one.

Since the result you describe means there is now more cobbler than you expected, I fail to see the downside.

I have also printed out the recipe and will be taking it with me to Canada. Nom nom nom.

They don't want to come out of the pan properly (or at all), since the fruit sinks to the bottom and then it sticks to the pan (which, believe me, I sprayed the hell out of). I am somewhat displeased at the structural failure of the things, but they do taste good.

Sometimes cats do things that don't make sense. Like kill a crocodile.

Leopard savaging a crocodile caught on camera

A series of incredible pictures taken at a South African game reserve document the first known time that a leopard has taken on and defeated one of the fearsome reptiles.
The photographs were taken by Hal Brindley, an American wildlife photographer, who was supposed to be taking pictures of hippos from his car in the Kruger National Park.

The giant cat raced out of cover provided by scrub and bushes to surprise the crocodile, which was swimming nearby.

A terrible and bloody struggle ensued. Eventually, onlookers were amazed to see the leopard drag the crocodile from the water as the reptile fought back.

With the crocodile snapping its powerful jaws furiously, the two animals somersaulted and grappled. Despite the crocodile's huge weight and strength, the leopard had the upper hand catching its prey by the throat.

Eventually the big cat was able to sit on top of the reptile and suffocate it.

In the past, there have been reports of crocodiles killing leopards, but this is believed to the first time that the reverse scenario has been observed.

Mr Brindley said: 'I asked many rangers in South Africa if they had ever heard of anything like this and they all said no.

"It just doesn't make sense. The meat you get out of a crocodile is just not worth the risk it takes a predator to acquire. The whole scene happened in the course of about 5 minutes. Then the leopard was gone.

"I drove away, elated in disbelief. It may have been the most amazing thing I've ever seen."

“Not dead yet!”

I just made a very good Indian/Mexican bastardization. Cubed porked tenderloin that had been marinated in apple bourbon and sauteed it along with a chopped Vidalia, then threw on a jar of store-bought tikka masala sauce. In lieu of naan, had tortillas and some sour cream.

Om nom nom nom...
