Time really flies, doesn’t it? December, already? I thought I’d share what we had for Thanksgiving, and with tweaking, it might be something you’d like to have for a Christmas dinner. It’s a portbello with greens wrapped in puff pastry. For sides, we had maple glazed brussel spouts, garlic mashed potatoes with super easy gravy, and roasted carrots and parsnips. I need to tweak the greens for the mushroom some, as I used arugula and too much of it! I’m a huge fan of arugula, so I never thought “too much” was even a possibility. Overall, it was an easy to make, low fuss dinner that really felt like a celebration. Here is the inside shot.
In a total change of topic, some of you may know that we have a new kitten. Our “older” cats, Sadie and Cleo have adapted well. It was touch and go for the first few days, but Sadie had some latent maternal tendencies, and Cleo has a lot of patience. Really, this post is all about cats.

This might seem like a lot of cat photos, but it’s hardly a drop in the bucket! I have gazillion more over on at Flickr.

I am loving the kitten action shots!
She is always in motion! But it’s hard to get the photos. Thanks, Becky!
So adorable! You guys are pretty handy with that camera!
Your meal looks so good! Portobello in phyllo? Nice!
Thanks, VA! Actually puff pastry– it’s so easy to look like a rock star with that stuff.
Your food always looks great, Tami, but you are definitely upstaged by these adorable kitties this time. The photos are a hoot–fun to see how joyful kittens are. Sophie looks (and acts!) a lot like my Diego.
Thanks, Dynise! I am happy to be upstaged by the kitties.
Sophie reminded me of Diego in the photos, too! Hope Zelda is doing well.
Serious cat cuteness! Great photos. They are gorgeous kitties.
Happy Holidays, Tami! To you, Jim, and your adorable cuties
Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice and all that jazz!
Thanks VA! Same to you.
Hi Gina! Our kitties are pretty cool!
