The chicken gourmet strikes again

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  How is society treating you?  Oh, are you caught in the politics of an exclusive circle of people?  Well, don't worry too much about it.  Everything will turn out just fine inshaAllah.  You're MY girl, and I love you.  Me, I'm caught up in the chicken circle again.  I had been buying all white meat, so I didn't have to process entire chickens at a time, which is tedious and time consuming.  The chicken is for both me and my cats especially Floofy, who can die a death from kibble due to the nature of her digestive tract.  The cats ate the first 2 kilos I bought no problem.  On the next 2 kilos, Floofy began to protest about her food but she ate it all nonetheless.  Until yesterday, when she refused to eat her dinner.  She refused hr breakfast today, as well.  I thought that it was because she is on a perma-heat right now, that she might lose her appetite.  So at dinner today I asked her, "Do you want something to eat?"  She said, "Meow."  OK, so I started to cut up the chicken breast.  I asked again, "Are you sure you want to eat something?" and she answered, "Meow."  So I gave her her dinner, and she began to eat it but she didn't finish it.  Then Lookie didn't finish her dinner either, so I let the kitten Yoolie (a famous trash eater in this house) have the food.   But she didn't finish it either.  So there's something wrong with the chicken.  When I cooked the chicken and ate it, it seemed normal to me.  When I read the package, it was a halal boneless chicken breast imported from Thailand.  It didn't smell bad.  In fact, it didn't have any smell at all.  Perhaps all that processing and packaging took the scent away, which the cats love.  If you had ever cut up a fresh whole chicken, you will know that it reeks.  Yes folks, freshly killed chicken reeks.  My cutting board still reeks, even though I doused it in straight bleach.  But could it be that stench that the cats crave?  Like a freshly opened can of cat food?  Like a finely aged blue cheese, but to cats?  I'm not sure yet.  I'll find out when I serve them breakfast tomorrow.  I had to go to the supermarket to buy a chicken.  I had planned to cut the grass, the weather was perfect for it.  I guess it's just as well, since I'm a lazy butt.  Plus, I feel sluggish today.

Daylight savings time

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  Are you busy jetting around the world?  Have fun, and get lots of rest.  Sorry I'm running late with my post today.  It's Tuesday, and I just got back from the mosque then I had to cuddle the kitty first.  Poor thing needs it.  It's been a busy day all around.  Mary Unknown7 will sing everyday from 10 pm PST to midnight PST inshaAllah.  Today we had to start an hour early, because I had to take my Dad to the hospital.  Yes, he does go there a lot.  I loathe the hospital, so I try to self-medicate as much as possible.  We actually went there this morning, but had to return later to get the blood test results.  Anyway, I have more to do: the day isn't over yet.  Now that I have an Internet computer again (albeit a puny one), my nights are no longer free.  Take care, Natty!  I love you!

The cooped up female cat

Hi Natty!  How are you today, my beloved?  I hope you are doing and feeling great.  I'm doing OK over here.  I wish we were together, but patience.  It's otherwise another average day.  I did chores and errands in the morning.  I wanted prawn croquettes for lunch, but I wanted to try making them without deep frying them.  Ironically, they came out greasier when I pan fried them with little oil, and not crispy.  So this batch was a failure.  And my stomach is so sensitive, it doesn't like failure even though there is nothing in the ingredients take could hurt any tummy.  There is a deep bond between the mind and the stomach, I'm sure you know.  I didn't experience any bathroom emergencies, just a little discomfort in the afternoon.  Dinner was rice and chicken, which I bought from the night market at the crossroads.  Chicken, always chicken!  Yeah, me and my cats eat the same thing.  Ever since I put them on a raw chicken diet, their health has been excellent alhamdulillah.  Too healthy, at times.  Floofy has been in constant heat for the past 3 weeks now.  Some periods are milder than others, but she doesn't seem to get out of it.  It happens to female cats that live indoors, I read on the Animal Planet website.  I have 3 female cats that live indoors.  Will I be able to cope with 3 cat nymphomaniacs?  One is bad enough.  It's a good thing I have a latch on my bedroom door.

Sunday

Hi Natty!  What's going on today, my love?  Are you staying busy?  It's nice to relax and slow down, I totally enjoy doing that, I'm just lazy I guess.  But Sundays are always busy for me.  It's go go go from the get go.  Now that it's sunset, I just had dinner and prayed the sunset prayer, I'm going to watch some TV and eat a lot of snacks and chug a lot of fizzy drinks.

As you could guess, my computer couldn't handle the Hello Kitty event on Second Life.  I didn't crash out quickly: I crashed out slowly and painfully.  I couldn't talk or move or anything, until the computer gave up and kicked us out of the program.  People have been nice enough to leave Mary Unknown7 alone while she's singing, so the presentation is lag free and she can focus on giving the best performance without anyone messing with her emotions.  Thank you, folks.

The thermostat

Hi Natty! How are you, my darling?  I hope everything is going nice and easy for you.  Wow, it's so much easier for me to type using a real keyboard!  I'm one of those people who actually took typing lessons long ago, now it's my preferred way of writing.  I still need to look at the keyboard, though.  Amateur, huh?  Anyway, it's just another average day over here for me.  Cooler than usual, though.  I haven't had air conditioning for years now, and I think I'm getting used to it, even though the heat still sucks.  Ugh!  I loathe hot weather!  Perhaps there hasn't really been a serious heat wave for a while, that's why I'm thinking that I'm adapting to not having air conditioning.  It would be so much easier to nap in the afternoon if I had AC.  Oh, that precious afternoon nap.  If I didn't have that nap everyday, then Mary Unknown7 would put me in a coma.  Wouldn't it be nice if I had a thermostat that could control the weather, so it would stay nice and cool?  Well, I don't.  I'm sure God has one, though.

Next, I have to process some chicken.  Then I think I'll take Mary over to the Hello Kitty event on Second Life for her daily snapshots.  Let's see how much this puny computer can take before it crashes.  Otherwise, it's back to the karaoke joint for the photo shoot.  Take care and have fun, Natty!  You're the Queen, OK!
