   I intend my next pie attempt to be chocolate meringue, which likely wouldn’t work as a cobbler. Next fruit pie attempt will no doubt be a cobbler.

   I’ve read that most of the time when a genuine Meezer is bred with a non-pointed cat, a void is by far the most likely result. I don’t know if that’s true, but of all my cats, at least half have been voids, and many of them with conformation very like Siamese. My current feline companions are a pair of 14-15 month old tabbies. He’s a classic brown tabby, she’s a brown mackerel tabby whose stripes are all broken so she’s spotted. It’s so comforting having cats again.

   I actually went to the one time he did a show in Seattle. Enjoyed it immensely, including when he invoked actual fire. He really was, btw, 7 foot tall.

   Sadly, I don’t think “Nurse, heal thyself” works. But I can supply sincere affection for Freyja—‘known’ her a long time. And I know Chris is pampering her as best he can. Our Freyja deserves pampering.

   ‘Start the meal prep’?? What fun is that? Do it all on The Day Of. ‘Course, my ’all’ is nowhere near as extensive as ‘tis for many—dessert is store-bought (pecan pie this year), bird is a turkey breast (we’re both fans of white meat), cranberry space goo is of course canned, dressing is a relatively minor task (this year it’s not Stove Top), Steph does the taters, which never get peeled in this household, gravy-making is always during bird ‘resting time’. Did someone ask about Green Bean Casserole? If so, wash out yer mouf. I wouldn’t waste good green beans on that awful excuse for food. Oh—rolls. They go in the oven when bird comes out.

   I hope y’all enjoy the day as much as the cats of the Happy Forest will. Even though they’re Canadian cats, they get turkey on US Thanksgiving. Yes, and on Canadian Thanksgiving as well.

   I have made—or attempted, in at least one sad instance—pies. My pumpkin pies are pretty good, but not enough better than store-bought to justify the time, especially as Steph dislikes pumpkin pie. (I knew she was odd—after all, she took up with me) I tried, once, to make a blackberry pie. Was very sad, but at least I could still eat the berries.

   I’ve not tried making pie-crust; used store-bought. I really should make more effort in terms of cookery, as I enjoy it, but cooking for two—or one, part of the time—just…doesn’t do it. There is one kind of pie which if I’m going to have, I’ll need to make for myself bc I’ve never seen one for sale. Chocolate meringue. I drool at the very thought.

   How about a Crazy Arthur Brown doll, complete with fuel-infused fright wig? (now, how many of us remember Crazy Arthur Brown?)
