The topic: Back when our furniture was new

----------------------------------------------

I started crocheting covers for it.  Then I started beading and set the crocheting aside. 

Then my mom passed and packing up her stuff I did something to my right thumb that was pretty painful and kept me from doing anything crafty.  The chiro said I jammed it; I don’t buy that, but it hurt for months and months.  Then I started Fish Wrangling on FaceBook.  Well, I quit the FW last month and I’m finally starting to do other stuff with my time.

Like getting back into crocheting. This past week, I’ve spent a couple of afternoons working on the loveseat cover. Then I’ll do the sofa cover.  Then the chair cover. By the time I’m done, it will probably be time for new furniture.

yippee

The topic: I had the camera out yesterday

----------------------------------------------

Well, I always have the camera ready, I just had it out. I played around taking some close ups.

I grabbed it because Richie and Opie were cuddled up on the pillow under the kitchen window and I wanted to get them together, still best buds after all these years.  Alas, Opie woke up and jumped down just as I got back outside. So, I got Richie.

Then I got Phoebe. I’m a little perturbed that I can’t get a photograph of her that looks the way I see her.  Does that make any sense?  I doubt I’d see this picture and think “oh, gee, that’s my Pheebs!” To me, it looks nothing like her.  She’s much cuter.

Marco is still plugging along.  Yesterday afternoon, he ran across the back yard. He’s a large cat and I don’t often see him running. He was in a very good mood. He was a happy cat.

And here’s my little Autumn, one of the invisible cats. One of Richie’s sisters, the last one of that litter caught. She’s one of our invisible cats. I think she’s coming out of her depression after we lost Bart last year.  She really loved him, he was the only cat we ever saw her cuddling with.

The topic: Fish advice?

----------------------------------------------

This has happened before and if we’re going to keep eating fish, I’d like to know what I’m doing wrong.

I had some individually wrapped cod filets. I made three, just in case they didn’t all turn out.  And one didn’t. The cats liked it, though.

They were semi-thawed.  I followed the recipe on the back.  Garlic, onions, olive oil, parsley and a can of diced tomatoes. 

Now, my problem. 

Why does sometimes the fish turn out rubbery and inedible? Not nice and flaky? 

Brian said it might be the fish itself. But I feel it happens too much and it must be something I’m doing wrong when I cook it.

Any ideas?
