More of This and That

 When I work in the kitchen Miss Kitty sits on the little roof outside and watches me.  From time to time she gently pats the window as if to say Hi. ( or she may just be hoping for a treat).

sorry for the rather dark photo


We had this Impossible Quiche for our supper recently.


 

 And here's a picture from a number of years ago when we still had our camperized van. We were up  in ranch country and finding roads that wandered through the countryside when we came upon this cattle drive.  Neither the cowboys nor the cows paid the slightest attention to us as we slowly followed them along.  Something we found interesting was when a very small calf would have its feet tied together and be left beside the road. We later found out that any calf that couldn't keep up with the herd was "immobilized" and later picked up by someone whose job it was to bring them along to the final area where they would join their mothers.

 I've been meaning to answer some questions left in the comments. Sorry I wasn't more prompt.

Linda ( Linda's Relaxing Lair) : About the puzzle board we use...it's a homemade one made from a scrap of wood that DH had in his shop. It's about 3 feet square and has a raised edge all around.

Jeanna: The flowers on the table came from one of my sons who doesn't wait for a special occasion to indulge my love of flowers.

Virginia: . Thank you for your lovely comments. Sure wish you had a blog that I could visit.

I love to read ALL the comments and try to visit each virtual friend as often as I can. 

 

Thanks for visiting

    Amazing delicate looking quiche!
    Stunning photo and story about the cowboys and the small calf. This baby touches my heart and I am glad, that it could find the mother again.

  9. Your quiche looks delicious - always love an easy supper meal with eggs! We love to do breakfast for supper sometimes. Sweet of your son to bring you flowers just because! My cats like to sit at the windows too. They are funny like that! What an interesting thing to see a cattle drive, and how they would take care of the young ones who couldn't keep up. Thanks for sharing that memory! Happy October to you!

  12. I love an impossible quiche; I found a recipe on our goodfood website that doesn't use cream, too.
    I've saved that picture at the end of your post and stuck it in my notebook.

  13. That is such interesting information about the cattle drive. And I enjoyed the picture of it.
    The final graphic is such wise advice for we who live in America right now. Thank you for the reminder.

  18. You have a very thoughtful son! The kitty is so cute looking in your window. I've never heard of Impossible Quiche, even though I make various kinds, I will research the recipe. Yours looks delicious. The cattle drive was interesting. I never knew that tidbit about the calves lagging behind.
