You see before you everything I bought on my trip to New York, with the exception of a postcard (and, of course, things eaten on the spot). It was a MOMA postcard- of a Picasso still life, cubist, predominantly green. It is a favorite of mine, and I was delighted to see the real thing, for the first time. It was every bit as terrific as I thought it would be. I was going to…

Really not ready for the Weekend Cat blogging thing, but couldn’t resist a one time display of feline follies. Despite some helpful tips from Kimberly, whose cats and cat photos are truly beautiful, I’m still hopeless with the cat photography.

You need to look in the videos.” As I pushed my cart on, puzzled, the little lightbulb appeared in the bubble cloud…

But it seems to be all over the internet of late, and it's been looking pretty good to me. Plus, there's something about the almost spring-like weather today that is giving me a craving for all things citrus, allied in my mind to a longing for sunshine. So ...
Permit me to mention the wonderfulness of Katiba, a/k/a Lily's Coco Jam. Ingredients: Fresh Coconut Milk, Sugar. Appearance: caramel colored. Taste: dulce de leche, only it's coconut. O my.
Spread it on some bread, per Kai, my Blogging By Mail benefactress. Or on toast, a sort of Filipino Nutella. That's pretty great. But maybe I should hoard it to fill a chocolate cake (small), or make some coconut thumbprint cookies of distinction? ...
