The Usual Food, Critters and Flowers Post

First some highlights of the week...

a platter of Veggie Sides at Cuzzin's. Steamed Vegetables, Fries, Rice and Peas and Plaintains. The Mr. had a Veggie Burger which he greatly enjoyed. The menu said it contained eggs, but the server said that was no longer true. Maybe one day I will clarify that situation and report back here....

this is a lousy pic of the best pasta dish I ever had. Made special for me at Twisted Cork (their regular Pasta dish wasnt vegan). The Chef called it the 'Thriving Garden' and I cant stop thinking about it. So much Garlic!

My Quinoa Salad with Grilled Romaine and Blackened Tofu at Mahogany Run was very well made....

but their Bread was the highlight. Gotta get back for more of that...

On Tuesday morning, I was able to finally trick Genip into the cat carrier and hauled him to the vet. He tested negative for feline leukemia and then vaccinated against it. After neutering, they cropped his ear, and there was a significant amount of blood from that. Above is his arrival back at home Tuesday afternoon. He immediately ran out of the carrier and I thought I might never see him again...

surprisingly, he not only stuck around, but has become much friendlier and very demanding. Here he is an hour ago. Looks like he may have gotten in a scuffle last night...

Scrat's turn is next and Sweet Sadie has to be re-tested for heartworm. 

Now indulge me. I took these pics today at Phantasea Botanical Garden...

That's it. Thanks for looking. More to come. Bye fo now.

I Sent Myself Cookies

Below is a lousy picture of eight bags of Christmas Cookies that arrived today. Turns out Vegan Treats will mail their Holiday Cookie Sampler to the Virgin Islands! Such a forward thinking company...

Just to show that sometimes I eat healthfully, this is a Blackened Tofu Salad enjoyed at The Grille At Mahogany Run this week...

our new seating arrangement bought in hopes of easy pee and puke cleanups. Unfortunately, it is not very easy on the posterior....

the benches were bought at Re-Use Emporium and formerly were part of a bar/restaurant that closed down...

When they delivered the benches, we assumed that they were taking our old couch to the landill. Today we popped into the store and were shocked to see our old couch for sale. They had cleaned the cushions, but I guess they couldnt repair the wicker that had been clawed and/or chewed off...

Now that its clean, I sort of feel like buying it back if it is still around in February. I didnt appreciate how comfortable it was...

lastly, I poured myself a glass of water today and turned my back for a minute. Little Mama was going to town on it, even though there was a wider rimmed water dish right next to it. Such a Little Mama!

to remind people this is a blog from a tropical setting, below is a picture I took of a Porcupine Fish...

Lots more to come. Bye for now.
