cat stand upgrade 2025

So this year Luna not only got a new cat stand (as she does every year) she got an upgrade. I usually just get the same model as it’s cheap and doesn’t last long anyhow. But this time I was looking around online, saw this slightly taller one (with more dangly bits) for about the same price and decided what the heck. As soon as I got it unpacked and on the table Luna was all over it, glaring at me as if to say… WELL, GET TO WORK. So I did and, once finished, she showed her approval by immediately ripping the shit out of it.

more tomato madness

Well, look at these! Went a little overboard at the market on Saturday, but I loved those gorgeous tomatoes from the other day so much that I had to get some more. Then I saw they had more varieties so I ended up with the mar azul (asurcado antociano) again, cherokee, tomate rosa and also some cute little kumat & cherry-plum hybrids.

The only way I’ve ever enjoyed cherry tomatoes has been roasted so I decided to do that with these baby kumats and found a recipe online for “upside down” tomato puff pastry thingys (three mini pastry tins fit in the air fryer perfectly). I added roasted shallots and garlic, and some herb cream cheese, which made them tricky to flip over as you can see on that messy plate below, but they were delish. The others I just ate sliced with evoo and maldon salt. So much flavour there it would be a shame to miss out.
