When my Kefir grains outgrew their culturing space, it was time for me to conquer and divide.
“ThingTwo:
Don't belittle me.
The Cat:
Ah, yes of course. Thing 2 would like to clarify that just because he wears the number 2 does not imply in any way that he's inferior to Thing 1.
Thing Two:
And all of the above.
The Cat:
He says you may feel free to call him Thing A if you like. He will also accept Super Thing, Thing King, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate Thun-da or Ben.
Thing Two:
Ben.
[Thing 1 jabbers incoherently]
The Cat:
Thing 1 says he's Thing 1 for a reason and some people should just get used to it. It's a Thing thing, you wouldn't understand.”

This is something completely new for us! My son Door Dashed gifted us an excellent Christmas Eve Brunch from a local restaurant! He chose the menu items and we thoroughly enjoyed it! On top of the generous tip my son gave, we also tipped the driver extra since he had to drive up a snowy hill to deliver to us! The coffee was a Hot Buttered Cinnamon Roll Latte. Photos below. Yummo!
I cored and peeled some of our homegrown tomatoes and sauteed them in olive oil with a little garlic & salt to make a simple sauce. Of course, I could not resist slicing up a tomato, laying it on toasted sourdough with some mayo and swiss cheese. Yum!
This is our 2nd growing season after moving here to Idaho. We are still on a learning curve, working with the climate, but we are getting a bumper crop of tomatoes this year. We also managed a small harvest of potatoes, onions and herbs as well. Unfortunately, the grasshoppers are constantly munching on our basil, thyme & blueberry bushes.
