errands and a dinner guest


i went in search of fresh zucchini today for the red bean and quinoa chili i was making for dinner this evening. eva's jonathan has been in town for an internship he's doing, and we invited him for a visit. thus, i walked to the union square green market and then through washington square to stop at a gluten free bakery on sullivan street. there were three bands playing in different corners of the park, along with a hula hoop artist and lots of people with dogs and babies. summer will be officially here this coming thursday!








the feline dental chew sticks arrived today and cricket could smell the silvervine herb they were packed in through the packaging.


pluto kept me company while i made the chili . . 

it was very nice catching up with jonathan and hearing about his studies and his plans for the next year.

and chanda arrived home in time to have dessert with us (and cricket?) . . lemon sorbetto from our local ice cream shop (julietta's) and vanilla bean ice cream from the grocery store.

  1. Thanks so much for having him! He had a good time, he says. I see that you use Chewy. We use Petsmart :). We have ordered Tiki Cat and Leo loves their food. We have used Wellness kitten food so far, but were looking for a new brand without peas/legumes. Most of Tiki Cat is pea-free!

    1. Has he shown an allergic sensitivity to peas? I've been to Petsmart here and I think they're very good. They carry a wide variety of food, toys, beds and treats . . also sprouted plants!

    2. No, he does not, but I have read some new studies, that peas might lead to heart disease and death in cats and dogs. I think Petsmart is quite good.

    3. Oh, maybe you could email me the articles if you have a chance. I'd be interested in reading them. I do like Petsmart.
