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.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

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.
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."
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...
That leopard's name: Inigo Montoya.
Mmm. That sounds delicious.
Err, Barb's dish, that is, not the crocodile. Although I don't know, I've never eaten crocodile. It might be scrumptiousness itself for all I know, but I somehow doubt I will find out.
In other nom news, I am on attempt number two to make white pizza today. We are trying to create the nom that is the white pizza of northern Ohio of my childhood, as done to perfection by Champion Chicken & Pizza.
It's not an alfredo or a pesto; it has no sauce at all. Olive oil, coarse salt, lots of black pepper. Tons of cheese, italian sausage, mushrooms, banana peppers, more cheese.
Somehow, no one else makes it just like this except northeastern Ohio. I've cajoled various specialty pizza places into trying to make it for me, but so far with no win. We tried making it earlier this summer and were close.
This attempt has more black pepper, proper coarse salt, and hotter banana peppers. It is in the oven now. We shall see.

White pizza! YUM! The one that Zeppe's used to make had a lot of garlic with the oil in the base.
Yeah, garlic! Garlic might be what we're missing.
I forgot you were from up there; you're one of the few people who can appreciate my deep and abiding need for white pizza!
Oh, god. There's a site about tweets about taking a dump. What is with people and the oversharing? And then the making a buck off other people oversharing?
