Farewell, Grey Kitty...

Yesterday was a sad day as Micah and I had to say goodbye to “grey kitty”, an adorable little grey and white kitten we had been fostering for the past 2 months. She showed up on our front porch and wouldn’t take no for an answer. She demanded in her cute, kitten-like way that we feed and love her. Because we have 4 cats (!) of our own, we could not keep Grey Kitty (we tried out other names for her, but Grey Kitty stuck). It was not until yesterday that we were able to get her into Second Chance, a no-kill shelter here in Norman. We paid to have her spayed and I’m hoping that she will quickly be adopted. I wrote a letter to her future owner with the hope that someone will write me and let me know how she is doing. I’m sad, but I know that she will make a great indoor lap kitty for someone.


In food related news, we cooked quite a bit this weekend. For breakfast on Saturday Micah made Pumpkin waffles (we had leftover frozen batter) from VwaV as well as a Multi-grain waffle (with whole wheat and flax) that is of our own design. Both were quite yummy.

On Sunday I made an entire batch of Setain and used some of it to make Setain-Veggie pot pie. It really is a “kitchen sink” kind of meal…I threw in some carrots, broccoli, zucchini, peas, potatoes along with the setain. Add some mock cream of chicken flavoring, bay leaf, fresh thyme and you’ve got a great filling. The topping is a scone-like batter (I got the idea from Bryanna’s blog) – I just added some fresh and dried thyme. It was quite good and makes a lot of leftovers for lunches.

I think the name "grey kitty" is so cute! My boyfriend and I would like to be foster kitty parents when we finally buy a house, but I think I would be too sad saying goodbye to cats all the time.

p.s. we lived in Norman a couple years ago for about 10 months - small world! Do you ever go to Dodson's? This is my first time to your blog, but I'm sure I'll be back...
