It's Caturday!!

Sorry for the dark picture but it's well dark out! Here are two of the kitties I feed. The one not eating on the left is the original cat I started feeding, and now three of them come around. The one that's eating is so sweet and timid, I am trying so hard to gain their trust so I can bring them inside before winter. They meow and are happy to see me, but they still won't let me touch them. I have come up with a system so I can continue to feed them without any fines. I set my alarm for 11 p.m. and put a dish out for overnight. Then I set my alarm for three and feed them. That way no one can see us and tell. It has been an adjustment and I am definitely feeling tired, but it's worth it. They wait for me and rely on me. Animals aren't like humans. They can't go to a shelter or a food bank for food. There is no way I'm stopping feeding them.

Here's an outside shot of Kanye watching me feed the kitties. It really drives her nuts and she has to keep an eye on the situation at all times.

I made this delicious green chili mac and cheese with cannelini beans. I made my usual sauce with lite coconut milk and nooch, and added a can of fire roasted green chilis from Trader Joe's. So so good. And it was so creamy I didn't even miss the vegan cheese. I doused it with green dragon sauce of course!

And because today is Caturday, here is Afro and her fluffy self lounging like the Queen she is!
I'm starting a new job on Monday, and even though it's a crap job as usual, it pays a little more and has nothing to do with food which is really all that matters. My budget will still be tight, but a little less so. I want to get creative in the kitchen again. I also need to make sure I can afford any possible fines I might get! Ha!
Happy Weekend!
