the cat came back

Here's an exciting story that has nothing to do with food or cooking, but makes me smile all over my face. I'm happy to announce that the Massar-Pfleiger household's kitty, Olive, has arrived back home.  She disappeared on Easter Sunday (April 4th) and returned on Cinco de Mayo, for a total of 31 days gone from our home. Her dates of disappearance and return, make me think that she might just be using our family for our super-cool holiday celebrations. Whatevs, we'll take what we can get from her. She returned skinny, skittish and with a stomach covered in matted tufts of fur, which we had to cut out one by one, on the upside, she was extra lovey and wanted to be held for hours on end. We will never know what happened to her or what she ate and drank during those days to make it out intact, but it doesn't matter, we're just so excited to have her back.
