What the fluff
Jul. 31st, 2024 08:52 pmI have to say, July was a strange month. A traumatic birth for my foster kitty (she's been adopted, yay!) kind of left me feeling oddly disconnected. I forgot to pay my mortgage for the first time ever, for example. I'm okay with July hitting the rear view mirror.
On a fluffier note: I have been obsessed with fluff salads for desserts, using sugar free jello, real whipped cream and fruit. Skip the marshmallows, they are superflous. Think pistachio pudding with pineapple or vanilla pudding with strawberries. I make them single serve for a quick treat that doesn't have too much added sugar. The only one I wasn't super thrilled with was vanilla with blueberries - but I bet lemon would be amazing. Instead, I've been mixing the blueberries with some pink guava yogurt. If I could get my hands on some guava I feel like I could make that a bit healthier - the yogurt is Elleno's and it's AMAZING but pretty sugary.
Anywhooo.
^I got tired of the white counters, so I redid it gray. Why I thought that was a good call with a house full of white/light haired cats, I have no idea! I like the way they look from a distance, but it's a constant battle of hosing them down. Ooof. I think I need to start saving up to redo the counters properly.
^Love her.
^Man, did I regret not having a proper camera. That little hummingbird was an exhibitionist. A good lens would have made this such an amazing shot. I have gotten out of the habit of carrying my camera with me. I will work on that.
^Look at those little nubbins. So cute.
It's early, but boy I think I'm going to go to sleep. Long day tomorrow, driving down the coast for work. I've recently discovered that if I am on the road for too long I tend to zone. Like a baby getting soothed to sleep by the white noise. Yikes.
