Well-fed Cats

He and She often talk about how She used to love to cook. She was a creative person who liked to make up recipes. She rarely made a dish the same way twice, and She could make all kinds of stuff without recipes. Someone once told Her that She would get tired of it someday, but She did not agree with that. Well, guess what. She doesn't like to cook any more. She doesn't like to shop for cooking stuff, or use fancy cooking pans or bowls. If She tries to make something that takes a while, Her legs get tired and She has to rest pretty often. If He and She were rich people, They would hire someone to cook for them, but They are nowhere rich enough to do that. Here is what She has discovered that will work. She buys food already fixed. He says doesn't that cost a lot of money? She says it doesn't cost much more than going to the store and getting stuff to start from scratch. I think you know that He makes His salads for the week, and sometimes His breakfasts, as well. What She does is checks what they have at two different places. About one time each month, She finds sales and bargains, Her favorites are when they don't make Her pay for sending it, because that part costs a lot of money. They send things that She can fix in the oven or things that can just thaw out and eat. She would rather use the oven than the microwave. Another thing is that She can't have people come over to eat, because the frozen things are measured out. That's OK, because lots of people don't like having Kasey and me on the table, and we aren't likely to change that. She still likes to check for good deals, and She pretends that Her own personal cook fixed the food for Her and Him. Instead of feeling poor and lame, She gets to feel rich and waited on. Oh, sure, She feels sad sometimes, but mainly She just says aren't we lucky. Don't worry, She still keeps a special amount tucked away so that She can have lunch with Her good friends. One more way that She and I are alike is that we like our food and our friends. Tonight we are having a little of both, because She and Rocky'sMom got lunch, and as usual, She brought some home. R'sM got dinners to take home for Him and for her boy, so it is just warming up. It smells very good, so I will look forward to sharing. Bye bye.
