    Homemade pizza.

    I use a no knead dough and 11" cast iron skillet. I usually have dough in the fridge since it lasts 5 days.

    Preheat oven to 500(most people probably need 450, my oven just sucks). While oven is preheating, spray the pan, quickly fold the dough a few times and place in center. Spray dough it with oil and set pan by vent so it's the warmest spot.

    Once preheated, spread dough out. I use jarred marinara, parmesan that I make sure to sprinkle liberally on all edges, top with cheese and desired toppings. Cook for 21 minutes.

    Costco croissants, Costco mozzarella, Costco tomatoes, Aldi pesto and Aldi Balsamic glaze make amazing sandwiches. That was my supper.

    That is why my daughter does not have a hognose snake, or a rabbit, or a bird etc. She says she would take care of them, but I know the reality is I would and I don't want to.

    I love that we have ebooks through the library, but have noticed a lot of incomplete collections.

    In college, my art teacher asked the class if they would be interested in having a party at his place at the end ot the semester. Everyone gave noncommittal answers.

    Guess what? He and his wife had a beautiful spread for the few that showed up.

    Well, the only one from the class, me, and my friend I dragged with. We ended up having a good time, but I felt so angry at my classmates. Kent, you are a great guy and those assholes didn't deserve you as a teacher.

    I decided to read the books first, then watch the show. I am on book 3 and so it will be awhile before I start watching.

    I am on book 3 of the Expanse. I enjoyed it enough to buy the 3rd ebook instead of waiting for the library copy.

    from this site: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-color-octopus

    Now i just need to add faces, sew in ends and mail to my aunt so she can give them to my mom. It's so mom can give them out to her favorite people at her nursing home. My mom's most favorite thing is giving to others so I think she will be really happy with these. I sent her a blanket and one octopus for her birthday and she mentioned one of the CNAs wanted one.

    I also make a similar bean chili and it's so good. Have a red lentil stew to eat and then I will probably make the chili again.

    Respect what they are "saying". If they don't want interaction such as petting, don't force it.

    Playing and other exercise is good. Depending on the cat, you can get then into a harness and meander outside. They don't walk like dogs but my cats enjoyed outdoor time.

    They probably will enjoy the free toys such as boxes or paper bags over expensive toys.

    Remember every cat will be different and enjoy different things.

    Good luck!
