You think? Though Annie's cats regularly got
butter treats.

We didn't/don't do butter so much... but our cats do get the final meat/cooking drippings including fats, which they do seem to enjoy...

As Nicholas used to say when seeing me drinking
the last of a cup of drawn butter or somesuch,
it keeps your coat nice and shiny.

Yup... ;)

I was over at Edith's for a meal, she'd fixed chili and cornbread and a salad... One of her cats was making nice to me... so on a whim, I
offered a crumb of cornbread which was gobbled up, along with a few subsequent ones... so Edith tried offering it... but she put some butter
on it, thinking to make it even more desirable... the cat turned up her
nose at that one... You just never know with cats... ;)

Did the beasts eat dairy products on their own?

I don't think so, not her beasts.... Just kibble and can food... and
boughten cat treats... the last two not being on our list... she might
have tried them with cheese, though....

Our cats get a much more varied diet... Mostly kibble, but with added
treats like bits of cheese, meat, their dabs of milk, bread/muffin, fur
candy like ice cream/cream cheese/sour cream/sauces from our meals....
certain veggies in certain circumstances, too, like spinach mixed with
cheese from a spinach ricotta pizza... ;)

But you're thinking logically.

Better than getting hung up emotionally on it... (G)

There's no point in getting hung up on things
you can change, much less on things you can't.

Exactly. ;)

In which case there would be even more booboos for
the others to fix.

But you are thinking logically.... ;)

[g]

Yeah... we both do... (G)

What fun is that?

You tell me... ;) Must be why we deviate from that logic stuff from
time to time... ;)

My logic tells me that our only hope is that
time isn't a one-way street, or if it is, it
must cycle somehow. Which makes my head spin,
which it should.

Or that there is something other than just time that might impact our existence.... ;) Also potentially head-spin-making... ;)

Nope, don't want a face full of whatever's in the air above.

That's not precisely sky, though.

No, not technically...............

Reminds me of the kids' schtick from long ago
[looking up] It's a bird ... it's a plane ...
[makes wiping face motion] It's a bird.

(G) I remember that. Don't know if it's from my childhood or when our girls were small tho.

If we looked up the original slogan we could
make a more educated guess.

It's a bird... it's a plane.... It's... Superman.... No.... it's a bird.... [wiping face motion] Current when I was in Junior High or
so.... The first three bits were from, I think, a TV series on
Superman.... or maybe a movie.... :)

The question is mainly whether the original
phrase appeared first in the comic book before
it became the watchword, if you will, for the
TV show. So maybe we should take advantage of
that postulated cyclicality and go back and see.

As you are in more of a position to do... :) At least by doing a
modicum of research... :)

... A Steak Sandwich: A Porterhouse between 2 Ribeyes.

I concur, and shepherd's pie can never have
too many shepherds.

Ummm... yeah.... I guess so... (G)

P.S. The author is right, there's not nearly enough
thyme in this recipe.
