Ping ate!
He practically lunged for the can as soon as I opened it. After about 1/4 of a can, he decided it was enough. We gave him a special Purina formula that the vet said is especially appealing to cats. When he was chewing, I noticed an occasional grinding noise. I'm not sure if it's his teeth or his jaw... he noticed it too because he stopped eating and listened before taking another mouthful.
When I brought him back from the vet earlier today (after more sub-Q fluids), he had a little playtime with his turbo toy before taking a nap.
Thank you, peeps, for all of your good wishes for Ping.
Prince Tantra insists that I didn't feed them breakfast this morning. I vaguely remember doing so, but I have no proof since all the dishes are empty.
Here are pictures of the most disastrous dish I have ever made (and that's saying a lot). It's that chickpea + mushy vegetable concoction I made back in January and ended up tossing, after it hung around in my fridge long past its welcome.
The pictures exaggerate the edibility of the food.
Fluffy the Elephant had Lotus-floof for breakfast:
Should he have
...cotton-candy floof that melts on your tongue...
...a mug of hot-chocolaty floof sprinkled with cinnamon...
or should he warm his belly with a comforting meal of wrrry-purry floof?

Fluffy the Elephant can't decide.
And he's worried. Maybe floof breakfast and floof for lunch and floof for dinner isn't healthy. Should Fluffy the Elephant go on a low-floof diet?
It's time for Prince Tantra's din dins.
What food item would you miss the most if it were removed from your diet and recipes?

If LT ever visits, this is what we'll serve. :)
I bought a bag of green apples back at the end of August when I first moved here. I ate most of them. The remaining two retreated to the back of my fruit drawer, behind newer and more appealing apples. They waited, silently and patiently, for me to discover them nearly three months later.
And they look practically unchanged.
The only difference is they have acquired a certain clammy quality that warns me that they are mealy. I can't stand mealy apples, but I like applesauce, so technically I could transform them into applesauce and thereby avoid any guilt that tossing them would incur.
Yet... somehow their longevity makes me uncomfortable. Back in China, we would keep winter apples in the cold entryway. They would shrivel up but remain edible. Yet these apples show no signs of aging. I know they're not organic (as in organically-grown), but are they organic (as in carbon-based)?
Perhaps I should return them to their drawer and wait until they rot, and avoid my quandary.
Gluttony runs in the family - ask Kemi, Merlin, Mani, and Foxy. Oh, ask Prince Tantra, too.
What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means |
 Your eating style is gluttonous. If you like something, you're going back for seconds... no matter how full you are! You don't really have a sweet tooth. If you go for dessert, you tend to go for something light. Your taste in food tends to be complex and sophisticated. You're probably a great cook, and talented at mixing unusual flavors. You are probably a fairly normal, upper middle class person. You don't rock the boat too often. You are a tough person who isn't afraid to live life fully. There isn't a lot that scares you. You are laid back and extremely easygoing. You never make a fuss, and you try to enjoy every moment. |
Dinner at little miao's is much less exciting than dinner at the Miao House. But it comes with food-kus.
What I made tonight is a elaborate in comparison to the usual - three courses and more than two steps in preparation.
I began with fresh organic figs.

surprise reunion
with a childhood treat on sale
but now it's all gone*
* To me, "sale" has two syllables, but I took poetic license. For that matter, "childhood" has three syllables when I say it... argh, sometimes I feel like I haven't a clue about this language. I blame phonics.

Followed by spring greens salad that is technically past its expiration date - it's not yet slimy, so I consider it edible. I'm actually very particular about my salad's freshness, as Papa Miao can testify. This salad was surprisingly healthy despite its expiration five days ago.

And followed by rice and no-longer-frozen veggies seasoned with one of my favorite Indian spice mixes. I'm kind of ambivalent about this "dish" because I have it so much.
