A Mr. Cheddar Endorsed Contest!!!
Meowmie and I are hosting a Cat-Lover’s contest over at My Real Life Reviews, for the month of June.
Stop by to read about the great prizes (personally endorsed of course) and to enter the contest!
This one is for feline-owned humans only. My great idea, snort!
See ya there, The Cheddar 
Goodies in the Mail!
I get a lot of goodies in the mail. 
Some gifts, some things I order online and some products sent to me for review purposes…it’s always a nice ”pick me up” when something wonderful arrives in the mail; especially on days when I’m feeling less than happy.
Yesterday was a difficult day (long story….) but a good one for mail:
I have wanted a copy of this beloved, vintage cookbook: The Purity Cookbook (1945 edition) for a long time!
I blogged about this cookbook here
SandMarg over at Etsy recently found another copy in great condition and I purchased it.
It was so much fun to browse through the pages and remember all the times my mom and I (and my gran too) made so many recipes from this book. Or just talked about making them sometimes!
It will be a treasure in my cookbook collection, always.
And the first copies of my own poetry book: My Poetic Path arrived yesterday too!
The book came out very well except for a bit of very minor tweaking I might still do. For the most part though, I am so happy with how it turned out. I’m going to be contacting provincial public libraries first, about my book and on from there. Wish me luck!
This is a post about my experience of creating this book and ordering options too.
Anything good in the mail recently, for you? I hope so.
Happy Wednesday.
A Yummy Chocolate Fruit Bark Recipe and Contest too!
Found this recipe for a Chocolate and Fruit Bark over at the Europe’s Best site. Looks and sounds so good!
I don’t have a photo to share here, but there’s one with the recipe, at their site. I want some of this, right now!!! LOL
They also have a fun and easy contest on right now, for several Hamilton Beach small appliances. You might want to check that out too. A fun little game to play and no spam either!
Cat’s Paw Socks
Aren’t these purty!!!
I finished these Cat’s Paw socks (click for pattern page) about a week ago.
I wear them all the time, they are so warm and cozy and it’s been SO cold in the past few days.
I actually amazed myself that I could knit socks that look as complicated as these do (at least they do to me LOL).
I used to look at sock patterns and completed socks like this at blogs and think to myself: NO WAY! But it wasn’t that hard.
There were a couple of glitches in the pattern though that I made a few changes to. When I’m working with DPN needles, I don’t need any additional challenges.
How’s your weather been? Are you keeping the warm-woollies out too?
Looks like another good day for soup.
I made Sweet Red Pepper and Corn Chowder on Tuesday and Cream of Cauliflower yesterday. All gone, already!
Both recipes from my cookbook: Not Just for Vegetarians.
Happy Crafting and Cooking !

Working on a Fair Isle Knitting Project?
If you are a knitter and have tried Fair Isle knitting or plan to in the future; stop by My Real Life Reviews to read my recent review of the Clover Yarn Guide.
I had high hopes for this little gadget.
The reality was a bit of a disappointment. 
If you’d tried this product, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it too.
Happy Crafting!
A Mr. Cheddar Haiku: Sunday Grooming!
A new CAT-e-gory at Veggies, Yarns & Tails starts today: Mr. Cheddar Haiku.
The Chedster has been reminding me lately, with nose-nudges etc.. that the name of this blog includes: TAILS!!!
Hope you enjoy Mr. Cheddar’s new poetic posts!
Happy Sunday!
On the Menu Tonight: Groovy Green Bowls
I’m making this for supper tonight.
I NEVER tire of green bowls/rice bowls with plenty of crunchy veggies, seasoned grilled tofu and a yummy peanut sauce.
I named this version for the online/newspaper column I was hosting a while back: Groovy Green Grub. Lack of time didn’t allow me to continue with these columns but I note they are still online at several sites. Nice to see.
I make a sweet/sour peanut sauce with rice vinegar, organic peanut butter,tamari soy sauce and lots of spices for this. It’s the balance of sweet/sour that makes or breaks it. I stir up a bit different combo every time. A dash of this, a pinch of that… That’s the real fun of cooking, isn’t it? Tweaking and trying out new ideas!
The only veggies that (for me) are a must in this: asparagus and broccoli. Other than that, as long as it’s crunchy and green, works for me! And I ♥ eating with chopsticks! Slows me down to enjoy every bite LOL
What is your favorite rice bowl or stir-fry?
Easter Ched: Takin’ It to the Streets!
Mr. Cheddar here.
Yes, I am “taking it to the streets” in all my fluffy glory. Snort!!!
Spreading some Easter Cheer.
And of course, always on the look-out for some female companionship of the feline persuasion!
I know my dream date is out there somewhere, sigh….
In the meantime, Meowmie and I wish you a wonderful Easter.
I hope the Easter Bunny or Feline, is super- duper generous this year.
May your Easter basket runneth over with all kinds of goodies !
