At the end of a perfect day

[tysolna]

The oven still being hot from the bread, I decided to make myself some muffins. Since I eat by the Montignac Method, I don't combine carbs and fats (very roughly speaking), so I used a recipe which substitutes ground almonds and chick pea flour for ordinary flour. Add chopped apples in one batch, chopped plums in the other, bake, yum. Very yum, actually. If only I hadn't forgotten to grease the muffin form. I now have twelve *recounts* seven half-muffins.

Cat owners, a question. Does your cat sit outside sometimes talking to the neighbourhood cats? Mine just did. I heard them yowl, and went downstairs, then listened to them for about five minutes after I stepped outside the house intending to rescue either him or the other cat. They didn't fight or anything, they just sat there, talking in warbling cat voices. Once they had apparently finished, Charlie walked over to me as if to say, "Ok, all done, can I get some food now?" Weird. Maybe dduane's cat wizard books have some truth to them after all.

My cats aren't outdoor cats, but yesterday Tristan carried on a "chirping" conversation with the stray in the front yard for several minutes before jumping off the couch and walking away, disinterested.

Cats seem to be more social than we give them credit for.

*nods* I think Tristan is just dumb or something. He'll chirp at the stray through the window, but hisses and bats at the two cats he shares the house with. WTF is that about?

Mmm, muffins!

I've been considering the Montignac Method. How's that working out? Is it good?

It's working out great here, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. I'll admit that starting it does contain changing a lot of habits, a few trips to health and asian food shops, and a lot of cookery experiments, but it is well worth it.
It's not only the weight loss, although that was the reason I started it. It's feeling absolutely great with what you eat, as well as kicking the sugar habit.
Plus, it's made me try foodstuffs that I had never even known existed before. :-D

Sounds great!
