Cheesy title to this post, but that works since we had cheese on our taco salad.
A layered warm salad, it looks pretty before it's all mixed up.
It’s so easy to make. A layer of broken corn chips, a layer of lettuce, a layer of warm freshly cooked rice, a layer of chili (canned or fresh, or you can do what I did here and mix some refried beans for burritos with the rice, adding taco seasoning), and then various veggies (diced green and red peppers, diced fresh tomatoes, diced avocado, and slices of green onions), a layer of salsa, and then some sour cream. Cheese on the side.
While I was making this for lunch today, Mishkin was in the kitchen with me, prowling around and generally being a pest, hoping I’d drop something munchable or whack-across-the-floorable for chasing. So I put some of the shredded lettuce in his food dish and pointed it out to him.
He came over to his food dish and took a step back, “what the hell is that doing in MY dish??” It looked deadly. He approached it with great caution, finally poking the lettuce with a tentative paw. When it didn’t kill him, he sniffed it carefully. And then he ate it. Maybe he will be vegan since he doesn’t eat mice, just lettuce.
If he throws up on the carpet I have only myself to blame. So far, so good.
Here is his royal highness, snug in his new favorite blankie. I fold this up and then he unfolds it, trying to get buried into it. It's one I made from a bulky pure alpaca yarn.
He has various places around the house for sleeping at certain times of day. This is his mid afternoon siesta location.
It’s been cool and rainy again the past couple of days. Today Dan scattered some more grass seeds, and it is supposed to be rainy for the next couple of day and then warm up into real summer weather. It is perfect grass growing weather.
Yes, it is exciting up here on the mountain, watching grass grow.
