betty b

After two weeks of not feeling well due to a bout with pancreatitis, Betty seems to be stabilizing and on the road to recovery. Our fingers & paws are crossed.

Still stylish in hot pink

Bandage free!

studio pics

Remember when we made-over The Cave and turned it into The Studio? We recently took more photos of Pipo's side of the room for this post.

now what?

We watched the final Battlestar Galactica episode this weekend & it was fantastic!
But, since it's been such an investment of our time since we started, we're left wondering what to do now.

"I laid out the cabin today. It's gonna have an easterly view. You should see the light that we get here. When the sun comes from behind the mountains, it's almost heavenly. It reminds me of you."

Unexpected vet bills for Betty have left us without a penny to spare this month. So, I'm lusting after these prizes from a distance (for now). And, happily, I might add, because my kitty B is feeling much better & getting back to her normal spunky self. Three cheers for Betty!

crepes, etc

Crepe recipe:

3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and egg. Gradually, add in the milk, melted butter, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 recipe for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
Fill with: sugar, fresh strawberries, bananas, Nutella, etc.
Serve hot.
