I’m pretending this comforter is a fresh-out-of-the-oven kolache! Num, num. Well, mama say I have to put in the recipe for sweet roll dough, from which the kolaches are made (among other things like dinner rolls, sweet rolls, pigs-in-a-blanket–whatever THOSE are. How do they get a pig into a blanket anyway. None of the pigs I’ve none...

Oh, to have a kolache in my paws! Kolache photo from Foodways mag–thank you. Well, Czech this out! Mama, who is a Czech descendant, has a darling niece who sent her this article from Foodways Magazine on kolaches, a sweet roll filled with fruit or poppy seeds that mama’s grandmother used to make all the time. Such a delicious pastry, and...

Well, not exactly a real lizard, but it was alliterative and I liked that. See what cheap shots I take with our language. But what would you call a kitty who sort of lounges around most of the day, especially in winter? Cuddled Up Kitty? Languorous Loulou? Lackadaisical Loulou? How about Lost Loulou, because with the onset of holidays, I feel a...

Thomas, by Mama Well, today mama is asking me to link to the most wonderful kitty art sent to her by Mya’s mama. What amazing creativity these artists have and what imagination. The Japanese artist is mama’s favourite. I think we had better get out our pens and inks and watercolours and paints and get WITH IT! There has been a dry spell...

Oh, no, here goes PAPA, this time, petting and oohing and ahhhing over DOGGIES outside our supermarket. Oh, boy, you gotta watch ’em both every minute in this burg. A typical window of an antique store. Nice, huh? I like the angel who’s about to speak. I think he is saying, “Buon giorno, Loulou.” Little elevensies pizzas with a...

I am sorry this will be a brief blog because I am sacked out because MAMA (it’s her fault) filled one of papa’s old socks with HOMEGROWN you know what and I found it and played with it (a bit too long) and mama came looking for me and said, “Loulou, why are you so lethargic? You didn’t show up for dinner.” (A first) And I was...

Now what are they going to give me for the end of the dinner? Nope, don’t want this one. Lemon sorbet and booze. Not my gig. How about a tart? First, the kindest cuts of all, laid in a circle in the pan with butter and sugar and cinnamon. Then the feuilletée on top and into the heat to puff up and brown. Then the turn-upside-down bit. But this is...

OKAY, GUYS–And a one, and a two, and a three: HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU, HAPPY THANKGIVING TO YOU, HAPPY THANKSGIVING, DEAR READERS, HAPPY THANKSIVING TO YOU! (And don’t miss this from blogger, Mya) Thank you, kind readers, for your friendship and lovely and sometimes disturbing and sometimes inspiring comments and thoughts and all that you do...

Well, you can bet I am going to be ON MY TOES this Thursday when mama comes in the door from her Thanksgiving dinner with friends. If she does not have a DRUMSTICK or THIGH or…well…a few nibbles of that infamous bird, I am going under the bed and not coming out until I see the red of the cranberry sauce. Those people are going off (mama with...

I’m sure lots of us will be having this over the next months. A widely read magazine in Italy published the front pages of newspapers all over the world–Germany, China, Iran, Israel, France, UK, Japan, you name it–showing the covers and their countries’ reaction to our election. These are only a few. The rest are in Chinese,...

This has nothing to do with today’s blog, but I forgot to put in my Yoda impression the other day… Well, today I thought I would give some interesting links to pigs and other things and see if anyone enjoys them. Mama LOVES pigs, but she had better not bring one around here. NO way am I bathing pigs in the bathtub or anywhere else! Nor...

Well, today I just feel like being snuggled. Maybe it was the trip, or maybe it’s the state of the world since November 7th, but if there is anything that will help in almost any difficult situation, it is snuggling. Snuggling with anthros is one of my favourite pastimes, and I think it’s because the anthros in this casa indulge in it almost...

This won’t take long, right? A few hundred truffles? No time at all, right? Well, let’s let MAMA get cookin’. This year she wants to make her presents because it’s more fun and sometimes they taste better when homemade and of course, I can help enormously after that pot of chocolate truffle mix is practically (read: completely)...

Do turkeys come in sleighs? Or are the brought by storks? Can’t remember. Well, I guess next week there will be thanks given for so many things, but not a lot for millions in the USA who feel they are on a dangerous path with the new leadership. Progress on climate change, funds for childrens’ causes, trade agreements with our neighbors on...

As you can plainly see, I am NOT on the Woo Woo Monster (a ferry is right up there with Mr. Vacuum) and am instead under THEIR bed tolerating the taking of photos in my weakened state. However, I did enter my little home away from home and was right AT home in minutes…food was prepared, litter was in the john fresh and clean, and after chowing down,...

Almost there. I am in here. I just don’t like crowds. And there are CROWDS here, believe you me. Hey, this is one cool kitty potty! Just kidding. I have better manners that THAT! Mine’s in the right hand corner… Hey, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em… More adventure stories tomorrow. Unless they don’t give...

They’ll never find me here. These guys will probably be on the ship…oh, boy… Well, here we go and papa has promised smooth sailing, but you never can trust these anthros because they tend to think all kitties LOVE to travel, especially on the sea (!), and that just putting a few drops between their ears will sooth the savage beast that...

Mata Hari Well, today, scrabbling around for something fun and LIGHT to entertain you with, I decided to put photos of me doing my impressions of others, and if I get a laugh, so be it. It is about to rain cats and dogs here, haha, and after a morning of full glory and sun and warmth, the day has turned miserable and cold. But we travel tomorrow and...

Well, I’m just a bit tuckered out after mama starting showing me photos of a lovely little art show on display on our sweet ville. These were artists’ illustrations of poems from different countries–Spain, Armenia, The Czech Republic, Chile and other latin America states, France and others. Mama couldn’t take pics of the whole...

Just waiting for mama to sing my song… Well, I think we need some lighthearted content today, and boy, you can’t get more silly than this. It’s the Loulou Woo Woo song that you might find yourself singing, especially when you really don’t want to, haha. Not deep, that’s for sure. Just a little ditty sung for a kitty. Now...
