Squashed and roasted

[desperance]

I do wish someone would sit Stupid Cat down and just explain to him, what is good catfud and what is not.

I am not quite at my digestive best today - which may be due to the end of a course of medication, or it may be due to the incontinent quantity of beer I consumed last night, being out on the town with Sean - so I thought I'd make soup for lunch, with the butternut squash I'd roasted yesterday.

Think again. Young Sir apparently thinks roasted butternut squash is quite the thing for a growing cat...

So I'm making a mushroom and apple soup with just a hint of roasted butternut squash. Sigh. It'll be fine, but honestly. Butternut squash?

[By the way, does anyone out there know whether, when you italicise a word, it is proper form to italicise also the punctuation that follows it? Question marks, exclamation marks, etc? Or not?]

I typically italicize the punctuation, because question marks and exclamantion points look rather odd when they're mashed up against italicized words and not italicized themselves. That said, I've never paid any attention to what my publisher does with the printed book. :)
