Chili Cook-off [Feb. 5th, 2011|09:11 pm]

[Current Mood |jubilantjubilant]

Never Felt Better, a local vegan boutique here in Sacramento, hosted their first Vegan Chili Cook-off tonight.

My wife and I entered the chili that we have been tweaking for the past 15 years, to the point that the original recipe is unrecognizable. It has turned into a black bean mole chili, with roasted winter squash.

There were 12 entries, several of which were quite good, in my opinion. When the final judges scores were announced, we ended up taking first place. We're stoked.

Watch for the recipe to show up on http://catnip13.blogspot.com/ in the next few days.

What was I supposed to do? [Dec. 18th, 2010|12:06 am]
fionn320
It rained today. All day. While I was delivering my postal route, a kitten came up to me and meowed. This is not an uncommon occurrence. Cats come up to me all the time hoping I will let them into their houses. I look down at them, inform them that I can't let them in, and continue on my way. This one followed me to the next house. And the next. And to every house for the next 15 minutes, crossing three streets, up and down porch steps, across very wet lawns, nearly tripping me at least four times, and cringing at passing cars and barking dogs but continuing to follow me. To top it off, when I got to my vehicle and opened the door to load my satchel for the next leg of my route, it hopped inside the vehicle, sat down and started grooming.

What was I supposed to do?

I called my wife. The kitten is now safely ensconced in our spare bedroom, warm, dry, and fed. My wife is not pleased at this development. I post fliers tomorrow in hopes of getting this kitten back to her family.

California fire season [Aug. 31st, 2009|06:49 pm]
fionn320

Despite recent comments by the Governator, the entire state of California is not on fire. Yes, there are some large fires buring in some populated areas, but frankly, California is a HUGE state. The largest one currently burning is the Station Fire in LA county, at 105,000 acres. Yes, it's a huge fire, but one square mile is 640 acres. 105,000 acres is 164 square miles. The entire state is 155,973
square miles. Here in Sacramento, it's business as usual unless you're a firefighter (and for them it's business as usual for August). There's not even noticable smoke in the air.

Online unit conversions [Jun. 28th, 2009|09:10 am]

I was researching the proportions for a boric acid ant bait, and found a wonderful website for doing unit conversions to and from a host of different units.
