Kitty Stampede: February 2010

I’m not big on Sports especially Hockey, but…

Yay for Canada!!! It was such a close match tonight in hockey and Canada took it. I am happy cause honestly we never usually win and I feel like we deserve it for a change…plus it feels extra good I suppose since we hosted them this year..wooots. On another note, I am so happy they are over…I hate how regular programming is all messed up and Olympics is on every channel.

Another cool thing is today my little Tuna won a Cat-O-lympics Gold Medal in the Competitive Napping event held at the Hufflemawson blog. There were sooo many amazing entries, I’m stunned for Tuna’s win. YAY for my sweet Tuna-bee. hehehe…I just had to enter this one with her oh so Dramatic/Rockstar sleeping pose.

Vintage Kitty Photo Finds

…This is the wonderful Aunt Nancy that is responsible for these great photos!

…Even way back when they liked to make cats feel silly by dressing them up..hehe, some things never change. I so luckily stumbled into Awckwardly Social's flickr set. This was his Aunt Nancy, and she very much loved animals, but clearly also had a very good sense of humour for her time and had quite a talent for photography.

Shadow Shot Sunday+Cat-O-Lympics Entry

…eeek, Sunday is almost over. oh deary, I have no idea where the weekend went.

I haven’t submitted for awhile to the awesome Shadow Shot meme hosted by the super cool Hey Harriet…not that I haven’t wanted to, but you know how life goes…

…So, here are my babies (of course). I couldn’t pick just one, so I decided to include both my totally amazing fur children.

…I walked into my husband’s office/studio today to look down to “What The”… I totally cracked up. Tuna is such a cute little weirdo. She just looked at me like I was the “one” out of place. She was just in the tupperware bin, staring into space.

…I took this one a little while ago of Turtles…It was mostly dark but my husband was holding up his Nintendo DS, so there was some light on his precious face…hence the glowing.

So, there you have it, My lil’ ol’ submissions to the rad weekly Shadow Shot Sunday…If you don’t wanna join, just go check the entries out….some really cool stuff.

**************

Also, if you haven’t heard of the nutty, sweet Cat-O-Lympics that has been going on the web…you should check that shite out. I entered Tuna & Turtles

into the napping competition…You can see all of the absolutely gut wrenchingly adorable entries here!!!

…Woohoo! It’s Friday and the weekend is peeking at us around the corner!!! I have no plans as per usual, but I intend to have fun, I just don’t know what doing yet.

I hope you all have a super fabulous time doing whatever it is you do…hehe. Take care and Enjoy!

Chocolate-Cream Cheese-Peanut Butter Bars = Heaven on Earth

…I’ve never done this before but I just flipping adored these sooo much, that I just had to share the love. You are going to hate me if you are on a diet. Make sure you have some friends or neighbours on hand to give them half the batch…I ate them all minus a couple…ooops. Anyways, I love sweets and these are my new favourite of all time!!! Trust me…

…I found the recipe at the always incredibly naughty & hilarious My Tasty Treasures blog. She has so many amazing recipes that I need to try.

Here Goes…

Cookie Base and Topping ( I just used the Kraft PB Cookie Recipe on the container, with the PB, eggs & sugar)

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® peanut butter cookie mix

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon water

1 egg

Filling

1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

2/3 cup crunchy or creamy peanut butter

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup whipping cream

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir cookie base and topping ingredients until soft dough forms. Shape 6 (1-inch) balls of dough. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls 2 inches apart; flatten in crisscross pattern with fork.

2. Press remaining dough in pan. Bake cookies and base 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Reserve cookies for topping.

3. In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and stirred smooth. Spread evenly over bars. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

4. In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar and whipping cream with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Spread over chocolate layer.

5. Crush reserved cookies; sprinkle over cream cheese layer. Press in lightly. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes( they are better when set for longer, an hour or so). For bars, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

Oh Deer Me

…I love deer. They are one of those animals that appear so very gentle and kind.

We went for a little Sunday drive outside the city yesterday and seen a deer walking around someone’s farm house...it was precious. I would love to someday have a house a little in the country and while having supper, watch deer and other wildlife in my backyard, wouldn’t that be amazing?? When I think of deer I always think back to the Disney classic “Bambi” of when he is learning to walk. He was so clumsy and innocent with his big, pretty doe eyes. So cute.

Do any of you have deer where you live?? I was amazed to find so many pictures of cats and deer, I think they could live in harmony.
