Your Nails Look So Pretty

My precious little kitty Honey has a problem -- She tears everything up!

It's a bit too late to train her to not do it since she's already nearly 7 and we work all day so we can't be there to say no all the time.  She's already gouged out the doorway to the bedroom --eek!!  We signed a paper saying we wouldn't get her declawed when we adopted her.  It's horrible to do that to a cat because they take the nail and part of the joint out! OUCH!

A while ago I bought these things called "Soft Paws" on eBay.  They are like rubber nail covers.  I got them in pink... because Honey needs to be girly, right?  I kept putting off putting them on her because she struggles so much when we just clip her nails. 

Last night, however, I decided to tackle the situation.  Honey struggled for a bit, but we got all 10 pink covers on! She looks so cute!



The package said it's normal for her to groom them excessively and try to chew them off.  She tried as best she could to take them off, but they didn't budge.  By morning she was used to them more and retracted the claws a bit.  It must feel like having fake nails on.  She tried scratching the door as usual last night, but it just sounded funny and didn't leave any marks... yay!  And she tried to dig into the couch to stretch out like normal and her paws slipped off... weee....

I hope she doesn't hate us forever for it!

A New Reason to have Ice Cream for Breakfast

Recently in Boston, a local tavern had a bacon eating contest.  Yes, I know what you're thinking -- I'm thinking it, too -- That's a lot of cholesterol!

"For the event, chef Mark Des Lauriers concocted three special menu items: bacon-infused vodka for BLT Bloody Marys, garnished with lettuce and a cherry tomato; bacon-flavored shots of bourbon; and a labor-intensive bacon-and-egg ice cream."

Yes... you read that correctly.  Bacon and egg ice cream!  This recipe was borrowed from British Chef Heston Blumenthal.  Not all the people who tasted it liked it, but there were a few who did.  Here's a video of the chef telling you how to make it....

Here Comes St Patty's Day!

St Patrick's Day is just around the corner.  Here's a great twist on a popular Irish drink:

Bailey's Sundae Coffee Drink (serves 6)

12 cups brewed coffee

1 pint French vanilla ice cream (homemade is best!)

12 fluid ounces Irish cream liqueur

Brew 12 cups of coffee. While the coffee is brewing, fill each cup with a scoop of ice cream. Be sure to use large cups (the oversize types you get at coffee houses are best).

Top each scoop of ice cream with just enough Irish cream so that the ice cream looks lightly coated.

When the coffee is brewed, pour it so that each cup is filled up about halfway. It is then up to each individual to add more Irish cream, half-and-half or sugar to taste.

-- Recipe submitted by KAF5978 on Allrecipes.com

This is an excellent twist on the idea of the ice cream float because you don't have to worry about the ice cream melting -- you want it to melt!
