Lady of Leisure
I took away the chair which my cat has been sleeping on in order to do some photography. She came in, went over to where the chair had been and meowed once and looked at me. I told her that she would have to sleep on the spare bed which was in the room. She sniffed around, and then went over to the bed and explored it, finally getting off and going out the window. About 15 minutes later she was back. Again she went over to where the chair had been and meowed twice. I decided I had to explain to her what the situation was. So I told her that I had taken it away in order to do something and would put it back up tomorrow. That in the mean time, she could sleep on the bed. She meowed twice as if making some statement, got up on the bed, lay down and promptly went to sleep. Sometimes all we need is the reason. 

Spaghetti in White Sauce with Champignon Mushrooms
This time, finally, I cooked less spaghetti than I thought I wanted. And it was still more than enough. It expands slightly and the dry spaghetti always looks so thin and never enough. After draining and setting aside, boiled the cut mushrooms and then fried them in olive oil to give both taste and color. Put garlic powder and ground ginger into milk heating on the stove and added flour a little at a time to make the sauce. Always put very little flour in each time unless you want to keep adding milk while your sauce lumps up and you end up with enough sauce for the neighborhood. Did not put any other spices in because I wanted the sauce to be white. Added crumbled walnuts to the sauce for crunch, and also a small amount (that’s all I had) of Kashkaval cheese on top. Read the mushroom warning.

Cayenne and Salsa Omelet. The best of many worlds. Cayenne (hot red pepper or chili pepper) is mentioned in reports from Aztec culture (http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/salsas/history-of-salsa.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepper). The Kashkaval (Bulgarian) cheese helps with the burning sensation along with the other ingredients of the salsa. The shog (Middle Eastern preparation of chili pepper) has coriander and garlic in it. See below. Za’atar of Middle Eastern origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Za’atar ,Omelet – wherever chickens are found. The salsa also has hot red peppers in it so in effect, it’s doubling up for added medicinal effect. But remember, small amounts over a period of time is recommended.

 Leftovers
Eggplant, garlic, sweet potato, veggi-burger, cayenne pepper sauce, and mushrooms. Beet salad cooked with fresh garlic, chilled and mixed in mayonnaise with sweet basil.

And the least of these

When I went to open up the freezer door, there was a tiny, tiny cockroach on the outside of the door. As I was about to close it again, I looked and didn’t see him. So I looked under the door at the bottom, and there he was. I waited until he turned around and had gotten to the outside before closing. I figure he has as much right to live as I do.

Meaning beyond our comprehension. Ever since I have been using the place mat with the marachas on it, I have been using a lot of cayenne or chili sauce. Life moves in coherent patterns, regardless of the reasoning we add in order to make it meaningful for us. That is also part of the coherency.

 Chili Egg Tortilla. Browned the tortilla on both sides. Put too eggs into the smoking olive oil, spread cayenne pepper sauce, and salsa putting in a frozen slice of cheese (in this case Kashkaval). Covered until eggs cooked and cheese melted. Less than a minute on the high flame. Shot the dish on the maracas place mat, rolled the tortilla and ate.
