The parental units are in town for a week and a half or so. I've been really pulling out all the stops as far as my cooking goes. Oh, I can cook, don't get me wrong. I'm just usually pretty lazy when it's just me.
Yesterday, we decided to grill a sirloin steak we'd picked up at Frankfort's Farmer's Market, and to go with it, I made a killer salad ... mixed greens, cukes, green peppers (all fresh from the farmer's market), green onions, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, all topped with shredded cheese.
I placed the salad on the table and sat down for a few minutes to catch some of the news (and wait for the meat to grill away). Soon after, I started hearing this tinkling noise, like a soft, little bell. I sat for a minute or two trying to figure it out. Then some movement caught my attention, and I turned to witness Maddie the Cat, on the dining room table, eating the shredded cheese OFF OF THE SALAD -- her kitty collar bell knocking on the glass salad bowl as she gorged!
Thank goodness I was serving family, and we were all so ravenous we just didn't care ...
