Do you have a date with Beaujolais Nouveau???

I do!!! You know one of my house mate is French...so there's no question..i'm going to have to - how do you say - give it my sensory examination and say something intelligent like: it has notes of currant, raspberry and black currant...oh shoot...i let the cat out of the bag...

The art of befriending a magpie or not!

My last adventure in my backyard consisted of climbing that tree - that i love dearly - and checking out what was alive there...and guess what? there was a nest! Now that gives me the goosebumps, my blood goes up and down and my tail is frantically guiding me to THE NEST...so as nonchalant as i can be..i approached the living quarters of Twitty bird. That's when big mama paid attention and attacked me!!! These magpie are CRRRRRAZZZZY.....she's what? the size of a chick pea compare to me but you know what??? she's got some kind of missile firing ability...oh my! i was aiming straight for the ground and even the ground was not enough to hide. I had to imitate a missile flying 2 inches from the ground! That was PART ONE!!!

I did not mention but my little tranquil outing was early on in the day...PART TWO was surviving the rest of the day - considering big mama missile was watching my every moves...yeah I know not very smart to hunt in my backyard...well usually I WIN! So I spent my day literally laying low...Nothing would stop this big mama from attacking me...to the point that my house mates were alerted by the din...and showed up on the patio...that distraction was my way out..I dived for the door....phew....PART THREE consisted of recollecting myself and getting my honor back in 1 word: resting!

French Cuisine - World Heritage List - s'il vous plait...

Yes il me plait...in my plate even...So according to knowledgeable and influential sources the French meal deserves cultural recognition - Boy! you haven't heard my French house mate talking about her family get together...that was no elevating experience...on the other hand it was memorable...she's still talking about it...so what is it?? The food in the plate? the company?...or was it the "little social lubricant" (thx Katie Robbins from LA Weekly - see link).

Well, nobody asked me if my meal is worth a cultural recognition...For one thing it comes in 1 can (and the text on the can doesn't read "pâté de campagne"), it's no four successive courses and no aperitif or meal ending with liqueur..I have to admit after last night dinner i could have used a little digestive: my fav chef of the moment "Morris" went a little heavy on the chopped liver...But let me ask you this, fans of French meals: are your meals giving you a healthy skin and coat? A strong muscle growth? a healthy heart and clear vision???

Spice-up your life

What do you do to spice up your day???

Do you put spiced rum in your coffee in the morning? Do you live a double life? Do you have secrets? Do you make prank calls from work? Do you read soft-porn romance??

Me..I attack stuffed animals....I spy neighbors and....watch me..

Election day

I am frivolous and mind my own business but when comes election day..i stand on my lawn, watch for foot traffic since ...my street leads to the polls...so i am for maximum voters participation...I can strut around like...well MYSELF...and take the pulse of the pedestrians. Now i am wondering...what do people get for voting???

A prize, a toy (like in the Happy Meal)??
