No mole for me…alas.

Well, mama’s friend, Anne, made the most wonderful lunch today and they didn’t even bring me a taste!  But it was something called mole (at first I thought it was a little creature with paddle-paws and I couldn’t figure out why THEY would eat THAT!) from Mexico (pronounced MOH-lay) and had all sorts of lovely things in the sauce like chocolate, raisins, pepitos (pumpkin seeds, grilled), peanuts, ancho chiles, onions, cumin and more so you can see why they kept it all for themselves.  But damn! CHOCOLATE.

Why do we kitties love chocolate so?  I only get tiny, tiny licks from papa’s Magnum STICK (not the bar, the stick!) every now and then but really, that’s not enough to lick at.  Ah, well, I guess I just have to get used to Party Mix or Whiskas Tartar Treats.  Boring…

They didn’t give me any EITHER, Loulou.  And I LOVE all that stuff, too.

Mama’s friend is a marvellous painter who can paint anything–all she has to do is look at it and bammo! A painting.  She and mama will have a showing in May so they are hard at work getting it together and making (hilarious, from what I hear) attempts at figuring out what to feed guests.

Personally, I think they should serve steak tartar and fried squirrel and maybe a bit of sushi on the side, but no way, Jose.  They never listen to me, even when I have support from Mya, the doggy, too.  Mya wanted those tiny little hamburgers they always have at parties but do you think anyone listened to THAT?  I have actually settled on mouse roly-polys (roly-moles?)–juicy little mice wrapped in a lettuce leaf with a nice mustard and put on fangpicks.  That should please anyone.

We’ll just have to put our muzzles together and think of how we can influence the menu-making.  I actually have a chef’s hat I can wear if they’ll just let us in the kitchen!

THIS IS NOT ME IN A CHEF’S HAT, as you can plainly see.  Humiliating.  But I liked the idea…

I mean, you can SEE that is not me, right?
