This and That

January 8th, 2016 at 01:56 pm

My banana bread was not the greatest success. Definitely brown on the bottom and mushy on the top, though it is edible. I admit I forgot to put a cookie sheet under the loaf pans, but I did turn down the heat and moved the rack up to the middle. And I shortened the time in the oven.

I probably didn't turn the heat down enough, though. I think I will get that oven thermometer, just to know.

I made great progress in organizing the Treasurer's papers. Today, I just have to go through the older papers and get them into some semblance of order. Records were kept pretty erratically prior to 2008. Most of the important stuff is saved electronically, anyway; the papers are just backup.

Once I get it done, I'll make plans to meet with the new Treasurer and turn them over.

I heard from man friend yesterday, letting me know that any time in January is good for a meetup. So I just need to get some dates from my brother.

I couldn't go to my grandson's concert last night -- I had had a rough night and a too-early morning, and by the time 7 pm rolled around, I was so tired I thought I might be sick. I feel okay today, though.

Oh -- financial stuff -- I don't think I have any financial stuff to report. Waiting for my pay check from the museum. I was told it would be mailed to me -- we'll see. At least I know my supervisor has turned in my invoice.

And a cat food question. My cats seem to like the wet food, but even though I give them each only 1/4 of a 6-oz. can, morning and evening, they leave a lot uneaten. There is a lot of waste. Should I give them even less? That would be just a spoonful. Should I take away the dry food and force them to eat only wet food? This is new territory for me.

I just hate to spend so much for wet food and then end up throwing half of it away.


Today's menu:

Breakfast: Toast w/cream cheese & jelly
Lunch: Lasagna
Dinner: Cauliflower/cheese casserole

    Good cat questions that I am also interested in!

    What we usually do is give them canned wet food for breakfast and dry for dinner. If they get through their wet food really fast, they might get a sprinkle of dry food for breakfast as well. Maybe you could try taking away their dry for a couple days so they get used to the wet. I had one cat (Noodles) who went on a hunger strike when I did that (we stopped trying after two-three days of no eating), though later we tried again and he didn't mind it after all.

    CB - did your new kitty quit keeping you up at night?

    Is this man friend the boyfriend who doesn't know he is the boyfriend?

    I've never had a cat who didn't devour his/her wet food, so I'm no help.

    We only feed our cat wet food at night (and just dry in the morning), maybe doing that might help.

    Thanks for the input on feeding! Mich, my new kitty is getting better at night, but he still yowls. I have learned that he never does it for very long, though. I hope it will go away altogether once he knows he is secure. Petunia, yes it is indeed the boyfriend who doesn't know he's a boyfriend!

    They make generic lids that you can put on the cat food cans. That way you could give them just a spoonful at a time without wasting any.
