Alright, y’all. It’s been a week since Thanksgiving, and Christmas is well on its way. It’s time to start thinking seriously about food again. (That is, if you’re not the type of person who wakes up everyday thinking about what’s for dinner anyway… I am.)

Last Friday we did the unthinkable (for me, anyway) and adopted a kitten. I’ve always been a dog person.  My family had several dogs as I was growing up, plus a gecko, some frogs, toads, a few fish, a dwarf hamster, a pregnant snail (which came home from some sort of school project), sea monkeys (do those count?), but never ever a cat.
