Orecchiette with Broccoli, Chickpeas, and Tomatoes

Okay, obviously that’s not orecchiette. It’s whole wheat rotini. And it stood in quite well. This is another one from Vegan Italiano. I can’t recommend this book enough for people who want quick and easy food made from easily found ingredients. Oh, and there are no meat substitutes in it either. A great cookbook for a new vegan or a novice cook.

Kitten watch update

No, Possum hasn’t squirted out any kittens yet. But really it’s gotta happen any day (second) now. Her milk is coming in and the kittens are apparently bowling in her belly. If what they’re doing now is an indication, they are going to be a handful. Possum seems fine. I let she and Tak look at each other through the door this weekend. Possum kept purring the whole time. Tak was wanting to chase. I think an introduction will eventually need to be made with Tak on leash.

Basketball kitty might have a name

While I was visiting with preggie kitty after I got home from work, I noticed she kept wrapping her tail around my arm, almost like it was prehensile. I didn’t think about it until I was sitting with her again later and then it came to me. Possum!

Here’s Possum talking from my lap.

The quieter version with a gratuitous anus shot.

And, an extreme close up. I bet you’re glad it’s of this end and not the other.
