Haha, bet you thought this was about a dog!
Well, actually, I’m only a little sad about the incredible melons mama has put right under my nose. I actually licked a little bit and wow! But mama says that they are not really kitty food. The Cavaillon melons come from up the road in Provence and really run rings around most melons, whatever running rings means. Have to look that one up…
Still, when I see that thin-slice ham next to them, am I not going to drool? Or maybe a bit of smoked salmon, eh? Or better still, a little mozzarella next to the ham/prosciutto.
Well, I feel strongly that I should take over the meal-planning around here.
We’re all supposed to share duties, right?
Maybe I’ll just submit menus to mama to help her out and she can do the easy part – shopping.
The hard part is thinking up balanced meals for every day of the week!
How about these for tasty repas?
Monday: Cold tuna salad with Balsamic vinaigrette
Tuesday: Cold salmon with caper mayonnaise
Wednesday: Cold chicken salad with curried mayonnaise
Thursday: Cold mackerel salad with horseradish mayonnaise
Friday: Cold shrimp salad with remoulade
Saturday: Cold lobster salad with chiffonade de basilique
Sunday: PIZZA WITH MOZZARELLA
You know, I have no idea what some of these “with”s are, but what the heck. Mama can figure that out, they’re in HER cookbook after all!
A bientôt – have to fire up the grill for mama’s vegetables, but wait a minute, I spotted a little hidden fat sausage to grill for papa!
Squash from our community garden and Spanish sweet onions.
Guess I’ll leave the grill for later and go cuddle up to papa, heh heh.
I think he’s getting the picture…
If that’s the menu, we’re coming for dinner!
How many places should I set?
Oh my word, Loulou, my mouth is watering. Can I come for lunch? I’ll just tele-port from Cape Town to you. 😉
Oh if you’re coming from Cape Town could you please bring the wine?
Absolutely!
Oh, glad for that.
Loulou, with all those tasty dishes (especially the salmon), I think you should be the Official Taster! I get a few melon pieces every night – SOOOOO good!!! Better than kibbles – but I like those too. But I’m on a diet. Louloou, do you think we’re fat? Or they just want all that tasty food for themselves!?
Well, it’s my VET who “suggested” that I drop a few grams, as in at least a half kilo, 500 gs. Mama thinks I am more active and my arthritis does not bother me as much when I am thinner. But she had ordered anti-arthitis kibble that has been proven to work for arthritis in kitties. Thank you for the suggesting.
That melon looks tasty. I think a lot of cats enjoy those.
Well, mama is cutting up some for me now…
What spice is sprinkled on the onions and squash in the last picture ?
Mama uses sweet paprika on things that she grilled, to give a nice color to the food. It is not a strong spice, more for color, unless used in large quantities for example, chicken paprika, for which one uses a tablespoon in the creamy sauce. She has a shaker next to the stove for use when she broils, too. Hope this helps.
Ham and melon is so delicious, LouLou, and I like your fishful menu…you sure know how to make someone drool..MOL😸Pawkisses for a Happy Thursday🐾😽💞
Lots of drooling going on around here, but I didn’t get any of papa’s too-spicy sausage…sigh.
I’ll bet those are really good, yum!
Well, I talk big, but mama still gives me kibble and wet cat food! Not lobster.
