Foodz

[desperance]

Lunch was a cold plate: corned beef and sauerkraut and pickles and tomatoes and cheese, and the best bread in town.

Alas, I made a strategic error of monumental proportions. Of course, all my corned beef are belong to them; they told me so, emphatically.

"Oh whoops," I said, "I has made an error! I has heaped it all with sauerkraut, and cats don't eat sauerkraut..."

Wherein actually lay my error. I'm not sure about Barry, but Mac? Mac eats sauerkraut. At least if it's got corned beef underneath it, he does.

I'm feeling simple, in these unexpectedly hot days: tonight's supper shall be black pudding and apple hash, with crisped pancetta and the usual perfectly-poached egg on top, and a little sizzled chilli. 'Spect the cats'll want that too. I need a more effective Strategic Error. We already know Mac likes chilli.

Why yes, I do spend much of my day thinking about food and/or cats. Why do you ask?

You need a watergun with which to shoot your charming, ill-behaved cats.

You're not the first to suggest it. But, thing is, see, they wouldn't like that...

Or else they'd have the same reaction that Black-thumbed Jemmy Casey, Pirate Cat of the Cumberland, does, which is to pause in what he's doing, look at ther person spraying as if to say "Why are you doing that? Can't you see I'm busy?!" and go right back to what he was doing.

Yes, I think that may be the *point*, you see...

I won't bother suggesting actually disciplining your cats, for as we all know, you are a complete bottom where cats are concerned. But does Mac like ginger?

Um, pickled or preserved? Fresh or powdered? I'll have to go find out, now...

(PS - desiccated coconut. He got the packet of desiccated coconut this afternoon. He got it everywhere...)

*is baffled*

Nevermind. :)

I'm thinking that grating some fresh root over a dish or two might encourage him to turn his attentions elsewhere. It's a different *sort* of hotness to chilli, you see...
