   Is Buttercup your oldest cat?
   Sorry, Buttercup, didn’t mean to call attention to your age…
   I meant to say, is Buttercup the cat that has been with you for the longest time? I seem to remember you writing about him some years ago…

    Suzanne, you do a LOT. You don’t post everything you do and yet just what you post can make people feel tired! More importantly, what you post uplifts people and encourages. You always seem to have so much energy and are so good, at least from my point of view, at juggling everything. Yet, even as busy as you are, you’re willing to help your friends. Whether it be brainstorming about what’s wrong with my cheesemaking, being willing to come help with the milking or haying, or taking my calls about a sick cow you never make me feel like I’m taking you away from something more important. That is a talent, my friend. So many times I wonder, how in the world did she find the time to do that post! Maybe it’s not really you, but the Cricked Little Hen? I bet you have her pecking away at the keyboard, don’t ya?

    Well, apparently your disgruntled former reader was looking for quantity rather than quality in your postings. Personally, I believe that your posts are worth waiting for. If nothing new is posted in the morning, I’ll just check back later. No worries!

    I do have one question concerning your post-Weston feast: what is scalloped corn? I’ve had scalloped potatoes, but I’ve never heard of scalloped corn.

    Love the expression on Buttercup’s face; it’s the same steely-eyed stare my little darling gives me when she’s willing me to do something.

    I don’t know if this will help or if you have tried it. When we were kids, and had horses sometimes we had horses that did not want to be caught. We would take a short rope or a lead and stick it in the back waist of our pants. Let one end hang down so it was easy to get. Then get a bucket of feed. Once the horse is eating the feed hold the bucket in one hand and use the other to slip the rope around their neck. Sure was better than chasing a horse all over the pasture. Some of the horses got to the place we could catch them with an empty bucket.

    Love all your posts. Buttercup is a very smart cat. By the Way next time the vegetarians show up try some. Morning Star Farms products. We love the soy sausage and we make our tacos and chili with their beef-like crumbles. Not so much grease.
    Keep up the good work. Don’t let the nay-sayers get you down.

    Suzanne, Don’t let that emailer get you down. What a nastygram when you work so hard.

    By the way, I have CIR bookmarked as http://chickensintheroad.com/2012/ that way I see all the posts in chronological order.

    My sister-in-law, when she was little, would put a stuffed cat in her toy oven. “Cook the cat” became a favorite family saying–but I wouldn’t say it in Buttercup’s hearing.

    Suzanne, What kind of food does Buttercup like best? That may make it even more food related. Just kidding really! But I did spend part of my weekend cooking up some dog food which can get really expensive when you have more than 1 dog and are trying to adjust to a lower income! I know you teach canning. Have you ever canned any dog food or cat food?

    Clinton Anderson has a lot to say about horses that won’t let you catch them. You should check it out.
