That's cats for you. I have a female that looks just like him. Contented look and all :)<br /><br />It's hard to believe the holidays have come and gone already. My younger daughter is here for a few days but will head back home tomorrow. Home. It still sounds so strange every time I say it. That she's moved out and away to another city. She'll always be five years old in my mind and being on her own feels surreal! :)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262406079948479112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-37653362503264029582017-01-03T16:25:00.955-05:002017-01-03T16:25:00.955-05:00Thank you for the suggestions.

Thank goodness for the internet to order those wonderful but uncommon spices and cooking things. <br /><br />I looked up a schwarma recipe. The NYTimes one had cumin, paprika, tumeric and cinnamon. If you have any trouble getting those, let me know -- I can send you some when I go to London later this month. My regular grocery down the street has all of those. The recipe looked pretty easy and I think I might try it, too -- I like Middle East food as well and have never made it!<br /><br />Good for you on the Christmas. Much of mine will remain, though I took down a lot yesterday -- mostly Santas and decorations. I'll try to get the big tree and any of the trees with colored lights by the weekend. I get very depressed de-Christmassing the house, so I'll probably leave up the two "winter" trees till Equinox or close, as much for the light as anything. And bring up the snowmen, now that I got more real estate from Santa removal!<br /><br />I haven't seen The Robe in ages. A good movie. And your cat photos are terrific!
