Freyja has had a rough time the past couple of months. I think we finally have found what has been causing it. it seems like treating her ears like she has an inner ear infection has worked out and her behavior is really starting to finally return to normal. I may have been a bit emotional when she jumped up on my lap fort the first time in months, two days ago, she snuggled up for a nap time yesterday, and actually came up on to the bed this morning (normally she’s a fine heat thief). While giving her medication is becoming far more challenging, as she is getting back to her normal sassy self (I had to slowly chase her around the main level of the house for a couple of laps this morning). It’s good to see her become herself again.

Tuna Melt, perhaps following this

I did mostly follow the recipe, at least as much as I could. The packages of tuna that I had were not similar to the size they wanted to use, so even halving the recipe, I had to 6/10th it. It was pretty good. I used processed cheese, since it said to do so. It was a cleaner melt, but didn’t taste as good as it could’ve. As a note, Loki was insistent on getting some of the sandwich, but was not around when I was actually making it, when I would’ve actually given some tuna out.

Korean Chicken and Rice Porridge

I decided to delay this, since we already have a lot of leftovers from this week, so I don’t want to make another large leftover item (also it takes a bit, and it’s warmer than expected). I think next Saturday will work out well.

Smoky Tomato & Red Pepper Soup with White Beans

Made early in the week before it got warmer again. Soup season, in theory, being back in full force. I was pretty good, a thicker soup with a bit of paprika toasted white beans floating on the top. Pretty good. I actually ended up putting bit of it on top of the leftover pasta.

Pasta c'Anciuova e Muddica Atturrata

So I think this ended up being trying then it probably intended, but I also skipped a few steps because I replaced the bread crumb process with panko to save time. I used a very nice jar of anchovies to create the sauce for the pasta, and over all I think it turned out pretty well, if a bit dry. Certainly as we started eating the cats, mostly Loki, realized there was something delicious in the air.

Sloppy Sammys

Good as always.

Possible: Cranberry Apple Shrub
