JBug's Kitchen Antics: Common Ground

Common Ground

If a once wild untrusting feral cat named Georgie and a little mini schnauzer named Max...

can teach each other love, tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness

and find common ground, then why can't we?

politics, religion or ethnicity matter not...to them.

AMEN! I feel the love! It took about 5 months for the peace accord to happen here after we introduced the Rescue lab Rita - but it happened - with no blood shed! And now when I wake up it is to a bed full of love!

Georgie looks somewhat like my Minou who was also feral!

Lea - I don't know what's happened to our Georgie, but morning cuddles in bed have become much longer the last 2 mornings. She's still an outside cat who rules the back yard, but in the morning has coffee in bed with all of us...and really doesn't want to leave.

They are simply adorable...

Thank you MaryBeth. They love each other so much and it is such fun to watch them together. She "adopted" Max long before she'd even let us anywhere near her.

So sweet. Thanks for sharing.

June, your photos and accompanying captions should be printed in newspapers throughout the world. Only when people try to understand and accept each other and their differences will we ever hope to be able to live peacefully on this earth!

Thanks Sophia.
Carol - so GREAT to hear from you. Thank you! I'm afraid canuck me with my idealism is feeling a tad out of place at the moment.

So cute! How Max and Georgie sit together is soo comforting! Too bad we don't see that more often in our lives!

They're really something aren't they.

Mac does look a lot like his mother. Very nice pictures - I wish my dog liked cats but the two cats like each other and often times share the same basket.

Georgie's a kick and they are so fun together...most of the time. She did the tour all around the neighborhood this morning. We might have to put her on a leash. Ha.

Chicken Cutlets with Romesco and Prosciutto Cracklin's I know you're not going to believe this, but if you look back you'll notice that we haven't had chicken in an awfully long time - in fact, not since December 22 and that's over 2 weeks. It's got to be a record and I don't know about you know who, but I've been craving the stuff. Last night's chicken cutlets took care of that issue quite nicely, at least for a day or so. Chicken breasts pounded until thin and coated with bread crumbs mixed with parsley then fried till crispy golden. YUM! Topped with a romesco sauce which...

Marinated Grilled Hanger Steak The big guy put this marinade recipe from Anne Burrell together yesterday morning while I was working out on the elliptical. It's not unlike the coating that went on the lamb a week ago and honestly would be fabulous on just about anything. Made up of Dijon mustard, lots of garlic, red pepper flakes, fresh rosemary and lemon juice it coated a normally tough hanger steak and hung out in the refrigerator for the better part of the day. Grilled in the outside kitchen in a screaming hot pan, the steak was crispy on the outside and tremendously rare on...
