I've developed a line of hot pepper + fruit jams. One of my biggest hits is strawberry+habanero.

You know what pepper is good on? Strawberries. Don't ask, just try it.

I was thinking of adding a "or washi tape" thing on there but decided against it. If you already have PVC pipe screwed into your shelf, you probably don't want to go even more tacky with it. =P

Kit,

Just finished adopting out my litter of "feral" kittens. I was amazed at how easy it was to convince them to be tame once they were away from Mom (she is feral, now TNR). 24 hours after trapping (including a vet visit, bath and medications) they weren't hissing anymore.

In some shelters, feral cats and medical cases are not included as part of the kill rate. You can tell when they say things like, '98% of adoptable animals find homes".

I am going to look into this. Thanks!

Yes, shelters will euthanize feral cats. They are low on the adoptable list and are therefore very likely to be euthanized. This is exactly the reason why this is a big deal. When owners of private or public property decide they don't want the feral cats around, the typical next step is to have them trapped by the

Feral cats in conscientiously managed TNR colonies are well fed (said the feral cat colony manager).

You're doing awesome work. I didn't know about those statistics. What is considered high kill? Is it an absolute percentage or does it vary by location?

Her. Calico and torti cats are female - in cats the color gene is on the X chromosome, so only females can be multicolored (misandry gif). White doesn't count as a color, so males can still be black and white, orange and white, gray and white, etc. and traits like tabby or Siamese coloring only count as one color

I might actually start shopping at Walmart if every store adopted a bunch of cats which could hang out in the non-food areas where customers could pet them. I tend to give more patronage to bookstores and other businesses which have installed an onsite feline deity to worship while browsing.

DEAL.

I do this... and then take a quick snapshot with my phone to use as my shopping list.

Oh my god, that dude would live naked if he could. Not in an exhibitionist kind of way, he's just that comfortable with himself. It's not like he has some crazy (traditionally) hot body - he has what he calls a "fanny pack" little belly jiggle, which is adorable.

Actually, most refrigerators don't require the board at all, they'll retain and erase dry-erase writing just fine.

Sharpie to just write directly on the packaging when it was placed in the fridge.

I had one of those tables once, the guy complained that weren't enough sun dried tomatoes in his pasta. I offered to take it back and have it re-tossed. Nope. I offered to bring him out some extra on the side. Nope. I eventually just flat out asked "Sir, I am trying to fix this for you. What would you like me to do?"

You can put any oven safe baking dish inside a crock pot to cook a smaller amount of food. Put the dish on a wire rack or just some balls of aluminum foil so the temperatures are even. Fill the baking dish up and start up the crock pot.
