Bloo Food with Coon Cat

Found a brace of blue potatoes in the bin. Forgot I'd had them. Well. Blue potato salad with red onions is festive, right?

From the Department of Good News/Bad News:

* A gift check from the parental units arrived in yesterday's post -- much appeciated!

* The Subaru's windshield cracked straight across while Steve was out running errands.

* The windshield place gave us an 8 a.m. Christmas Eve appointment, with promises that the new windshield will be in by noon.

* We'll have change back from the check.


And, in a rare concession to the Season, Mozart agreed to sit for a portrait, with the Toy of the Moment, a yellow plush rattlemouse :

Cars always seem to have this notion that excess cash belongs to *them* -- have you noticed?

Blue Potatoes?

My ignorance is showing.
I've seen green furry potatoes, but blue?
Are they safe to eat?
Nice fur person.

The windshield crack'd from side to side.

And you _definitely_ should have a panel on Maine Coon cats at the con.

Hopefully enough change to get something that still feels like a gifty indulgence.

It's the incorporation of all the modern computer technology into the cars that does it -- along with everything else, the auto companies also added the infamous Detect Money Chip.

Ugh, sorry to hear about the windshield. At least the check will cover it. Let's hear it for generous relatives!

Mozart is totally beautiful.

Here on left coast, car insurers will cover a windshield without deductible as it is a safety issue. Did you contact your insurer????? And save parental check for something more fun???
