Friday Funnies

The first week of the new year is almost done and I'm so ready for spring! Only three+ months to go....

I should have taken the week off work; there were only two of us holding down the fort, as it were, out of eight. Might as well have kept the office closed!

Anyway, here are a few Pinterest "funnies" to start the new year.

Below: Annie and Nicki were the attention seekers, Chumley was a hider, as is Derry. :-)


Below: I've tried a number of recipes and almost everything has ended up in the compost bin. You can do gluten-free, you can do sugarless, and you can bake without eggs and dairy, but you just can't do all three together and have it anywhere close to the "real" thing, IMO.


Below: I also find this to be true sometimes! 🤣

Flynn was a hider, and Eric was an attention seeker. Thanks for the laughs.
Yes that gluten-free thing is rather difficult sometimes.I use neither gluten nor sugar or artificial sweetener anymore. However I do still use eggs but no Dairy as far as milk and cheeses concerned .Most of my recipes use oats instead of wheat. And then I use stevia for sweetener. It can be so expensive to experiment and then have to throw things away that just turn out to be rubbish. Hope your next week at work goes a little better with more people coming back possibly. I just wish for Sunshine of which there simply is none here.Lynn and Precious XX

I find Stevia so-so for baking. It has a bitter taste, IMO, so it's a challenge (for me) to get it right. I do add extra (vanilla/other) extract to recipes, as I had read that suggestion on a vegan recipe site a couple of years ago.

I would love to use raw honey as a sweetener; I must ask my ND if I can go back to that. I'd had to stop using it, as it (along with other sugars) feeds SIBO. Things would taste better with it, though! :-)

BTW, I've actually enjoyed the week, I've been able to catch up without being inundated with Teams messages or emails! :-P
Dearest Kim,
Our kitties are a mixed bunch—some attention seekers and others just vanish if strangers are here.
Hugs,
Mariette

Kim, your cartoons are great. Love all of them... especially the cat one and the last one. Many times I look at something I dropped and say, "you can just stay there... "
As for gluten free, I've found some pretty good GF products. Canyon Bakery bread is good and Tate's GF chocolate chip cookies and Good Thins Simply Salt crackers too. And I've been using lactose free whole milk for the last few months and I find it tastes just as good as regular whole milk. I don't have a problem with eggs or sugar... but can't do artificial sweeteners.
And you are right, these special foods are expensive. I once tried a box of GF cookies that cost about $7 and had to throw the whole box out... they were awful.

Those were excellent funnies!
Those are all good ones and I can relate to that last one too!

I feel the same way about caffeine free diet cola. One or the other, but both ? That's just brown water.

The cartoons were all very cute. Happy (belated) Mew Year.
Emily is a greeter. Willow used to hide but is feeling a bit more comfortable and will cautiously watch company from a few feet away. :) Take care!

Hahahaha. That last one is so true! Ava used to be a hider, but now borders on hider/judger. :)

Try to stay warm. Hugs for you, and scritches for Derry.

If you substitute 'too semi-deaf to realise someone is here but pleasant enough when he does' for 'judger', then I have a cat for each of the four categories...

Happy New Year! Flynn is an attention seeker, but my other boys are all hiders. Although depending on how long you stay, they may start venturing out to judge you.
