Stuff
I know that Knickers put a note on one of my posts that said she could not get in to the Stephanie Plum series. I think that is a dirty shame. I loved them! I think they are fantastic and very funny! I just finished the Plum Spooky one, which is a between the numbers book. It was great fun. They always make me laugh. I can't remember which book is next in my book lineup. I hope it is good.
The recipe of the week for last week was a chocolate mess. It was out of my chocolate lover's cookbook. I am not a chocolate lover at all, but my grandma gave me the book so I hate to get rid of it. Maybe I should gift it to someone I know. Hmm. In the meantime, I am keeping it in my cookbook rotation. I don't remember the name of the recipe but the ingredients were cornflakes, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips. You melt everything and then mix in the cornflakes and put it in a pan for bars. I didn't happen to have any butterscotch chips so I substituted peanut butter chips. They look ok, but I don't really care for that much chocolate so I didn't try one. I will take them to work tomorrow and let the vultures eat them.
I have finally (with help from all my Xanga friends) perfected my cat litter regimen. I bought Tidy Cat litter. I have two boxes, so I scoop them daily, at least once, and sometimes twice. As soon as I scoop, I spray two squirts of Febreeze near the box openings, and then one squirt into the air. It seems like the magic combination. Boy, I love cats but I Do NOT love cat litter stench. I think I have two of the world's stinkiest cats.
Tonight I am going walking at the park with a friend. That will happen at 6:30. I think tomorrow I'm going to see if she is available to go earlier. The second friend who normally goes usually can't make it before then because of work issues.
Hmm. Nothing else right now I guess.

I am not a chocolate lover either, I think I would regift the book
I do love chocolate but I go through spells.
ryc: Not sure if I am going to make cornish hens or not? I love one that is falling off the bone those are the ones with the best flavor lol!
Kitty litter! EGAD!
I have a diabetic cat so the kitty box is usually a horror!
Thank goodness for febreeze!
I'll confess to also not being a Janet Evanovich fan. I've tried several of her books and just don't like her characters or plots.
I can't cook chocolate stuff because I end up eating half of it! I bet your co-workers liked your concoction. I think it sounds great.
Oh. My. Gosh.
Can I have that recipe? Hmmmm?
I AM a chocolate lover, and especially a chocolate & peanut butter lover!
I hate the litterbox thing, too! It's hard to scoop daily, but I have 4 cats, and if I miss a day, it is hell to deal with! I have the boxes at my back door in the little "closet" which never had a door, but a coat rod & a shelf up top, and the stairs to the basement is there, too. I cut & fit heavy-duty plastic (I've managed to save the plastic wrapping from a couple of new mattresses, it's great!) and I staple it to the 3 walls around the boxes, as well as across the bottom so it's sealed from the floor. I layer it -- I put down cardboard underneath the plastic then a couple of newspapers on top of the plastic, then the litterboxes. My cats tend to hang their butts over the edge, so it just protects the flooring and whatnot and it smells fresher. I have a couple of those Glade automatic spray things. one that sprays down the stairs, and one that is up on the shelf above the boxes -- it definitely helps! I use a fair amount of baking soda, too -- I don't find that scoopable litter is entirely clumping, it breaks up anyway, so the baking soda really helps, especially in the corners (where all 4 of mine like to pee!).
@Nameless_woman -- I hear ya, I had an insulin-dependant cat for about 8 years. When he went diabetic, the first clue was that his litterbox suddenly became a POND! I was using those silica gel pearl thingies at the time, and they were wonderful, but just overnight, he filled the darned thing!
