I realize I feel terrible. I realize that’s coloring how I post. So if you wanna just pass this on by without reading it, I won’t be offended, but I do have a gripe. I’m trying not to be affected by these commercials for animals that are out in the cold where they show me animals being snowed on or animals out in the heat with flies, crawling all over them And I wonder did I need to see that or did they need to just rescue those animals and tell me what kind of conditions they were found in because it’s just disgusting that they were used in a guilt campaign because what else is it? I know I’m supposed to send money because it’s the holiday and my plate is full and I’m surrounded by love and happiness and family and food and these poor animals don’t know where their next meal is coming from. I’ve been in rescue a long time. Sympathy adoptions don’t last. Let him throw a blanket over the cold ones let them shoo the flies and rescue the ones that are out in the heat, but I don’t need to see it before they do. Some of the ones I rescued were in homes and being treated pretty badly one cat in particular. OK, that’s it. I feel better.
Chris @GGsister2 gifted me the Giadzy sauce for my bday, so the meatballs basically made themselves. 😂 What’s something someone bought you that inspired a great meal—or a spectacular kitchen fail?
P.S. it's not my birthday. I just took a while to use my sister's birthday gift.
