I guess I need to get a move on creating my own! You're going to be living one of my childhood dreams being around, and learning about all of those beautiful animals! But it is scary to try to help without getting hurt. I've been having to earn back my trust with my kitties too. They make you work for it. I expect you will get a lot of cat side-eyes when you skype with them! I think cats hold onto to grudges much more than dogs. But you're right, treats are the universal peace maker!<br />Thanks for the info on that Hummus. I agree, hummus should not be wet. I don't remember the brand, but I tried a hummus that was like that, and it was very unappetizing. Smooth and creamy, or none at all!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829919190901891587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-37902174573532875632015-07-18T23:17:48.717-07:002015-07-18T23:17:48.717-07:00I just read your post here and realized I still ha...I just read your post here and realized I still have some of Wegman’s Caramelized Onion Hummus, which I am now enjoying on some crunchy vegan everything bagel chips. I bought a Wild Pea brand hummus from Whole Foods (Pineapple Jalapeño) today thinking it was going to be great, but it is mushy, watery and really bad. I think hummus needs to have a smooth texture and not be choppy-wet, so Wild Pea is going back to Whole Foods. <br /><br />Trip prep is moving along. I’ve made several checklists for various things, like electric/gas temporary shut-off, refrigerator unplugging, etc. I’ve also been studying the hundreds of animal residents at the wildlife sanctuary. There are several lions, several hyaenas, elephants, rhinos, different bird species, some yellow baboons, a couple serval cats, several antelopes, some owls, several duikers, some grysboks, and a bunch of others. I’ve been wondering on how to go about associating/caring for some of these animals without getting hurt. I am going to be spending somewhere between ten to fourteen days at the vet clinic to learn about everything that I don’t know which is basically everything vet-medicine related. I am expecting to become very good friends with the vet ;-)<br /><br />I am also in the process of setting up some type of Skype video calls so that I can communicate with my cats from afar. While a trusted family member will be caring for my cats during my trip, I’ll be testing video calls with my cats before I go. The last time I needed to take a couple days trip, my cats practically disowned me on my return. That was only a couple days. This is three long months or more. Back then, I know what they were thinking: “Oh, so you think it’s okay to leave us and then come back and think everything is going to be normal? Not going to happen. We’re not that forgiving. Nope.” That’s when you know it’s time for the never-fail cure, the irresistible cat treats!. So, I go off into a corner and just ignore the cold cat treatment. I shake the cat treat can and wait. Oh, they resist the temptation for a cat treat, but patience always works in the end. What’s this, a couple cats rubbing against me, and purring . . .? Yep, we’re friends again :-)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852603773028457035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-26669811283527737902015-07-18T05:32:03.615-07:002015-07-18T05:32:03.615-07:00That sounds delicious.

It blew my mind, I wanted to drink the sauce. I will definitely check out the burrito. I do kind of miss Wegman's to be honest, but I am loving all of the other vegan friendly stores I've been discovering. Hows the prep for your trip going? I'm really inspired by what you're doing.

The Super Burrito is spiked with a very tasty sweet-spicy chile sauce. It’s very satisfying food for when you’re on-the-go running errands, and even if you’re not!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852603773028457035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-69337741232574097902015-07-17T14:10:58.707-07:002015-07-17T14:10:58.707-07:00I meant to get the vegan Tika Masala in honor of y...I meant to get the vegan Tika Masala in honor of you, and I totally forgot. I was so overwhelmed by all the goodies. I will be getting that the next time, along with the tofu cream cheese. I am craving a bagel with cream cheese and scallions.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829919190901891587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-40476336763238717452015-07-17T13:49:25.794-07:002015-07-17T13:49:25.794-07:00Dont forget the Tofu Cream Cheese, Orange Morsels ...Dont forget the Tofu Cream Cheese, Orange Morsels and Vegan Tiki Masala!<br /><br />Great. news about Dylan!Vegan In The VIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987192418948736625noreply@blogger.com
