I'm trying to learn how to take photos and send them.  DRs Ginny and ChasSmith are my trial run.

I think it was a handle of one of the collapsible laundry hampers.

If there are any handles on the bags, paper or otherwise, please be sure to cut them. Joshie got caught in a handle, even as old as he was. It was his foot, but he panicked and ran all over.

I walked in the kitten room once and was horrified to see one kitten had a handle around his neck. If he had struggled with it much longer, it would have strangled him.

I'm keeping an eye on such things.

It can happen when you are away. Also, it's no fun chasing a panicky cat.

My little Annabelle panics every time she gets out of the apartment and I have to chase her down.  Thank God she talks loudly when she's overwhelmed and scared!

I've tried to take some photos of the two of them.  I'm not sure about sending them.

John, if you leave some of the sugar out of a recipe, doesn't it affect the consistency of the dough?

It can. Play with it.

I didn't realize it was the Night of the Radishes.  Thanks for the reminder DR JOHN G.

It sounds like a Bert I. Gordon movie with John Agar.

My personal Chinese chef didn't realize it, but he gave me a bone broth with radishes and lotus root in it. It's what's for dinner.

After church tomorrow night, John.

I would love to join you for Christmas Eve services. It reminds me of a scene toward the end of The Bishop's Wife where David Niven wants to skip church and get straight to the egg nog.

Speaking of which, I have just started that movie.

I have four pounds of garlic in the oven roasting for a dish I'm making tomorrow. I can just imagine what that aroma will be like in about 10 minutes.

I wanted to get to Barnes & Noble early since I knew the store would be packed from my days working there.  Well, it was a ghost town.  A friend who still works there said it's been terrible, and we suspect its Amazon another online companies.

I remember when I left there in 2004 that the company then was pushing customers to shop online, so perhaps they did themselves in?

B&N didn't do it to themselves...everyone was pushing on-line sales and the world listened. :-\

A few days ago, I went to a local restaurant and got some garlic french fries with extra garlic.  It had much more garlic than I would've expected, but it was so good!  I ate some of them there at the restaurant, took some home, ate the fries, and have a whole bunch of garlic left.  Yum!

Thank you DR Jrand and DR George.   I think just about every photo of me taken since we arrived in Cape Town has my hair blowing in my face ;D

It adds interest to the photo.

The house smells of glazed ham. I could eat all of it. Too bad it’s for a friend’s dinner.

Her husband has abdominal cancer, and I’m taking the ham, potatoes air gratin, Salad, Guac and chips, and a tart over to their house.

I read an interesting article about how all the damaged clothing that's donated to charities gets cleaned and made into blankets. These are the blankets that are given by the fire department or EMTs when there's a disaster. As someone who likes to see items recycled, this warms my heart.

Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story.
