They thought if they both gave me the evil eye I would get the camera out of their face.

Pepper

At the beginning of February we went back to the animal shelter and picked up a friend for Cupcake.  Ayla was set on a black cat and we found the perfect one.  Pepper was roughed up a bit before she arrived at the shelter, and was one of the cats that had been there the longest.  But, she was very friendly to us there, and we decided she would be the perfect companion for Cupcake.

But, then, we got her home and didn’t see her for a week.  Literally.  Then she finally decided it was ok if someone looked directly at her, but no longer than 5 seconds and then she would bolt.  She had no issues with Cupcake and mostly just ignored her, but Cupcake was completely freaked out by the entire situation.  So, for about a month we had one cat that was pissed and one that was scared and I thought my brilliant idea to have two cats, so they wouldn’t be lonely during the day, was for nothing.

But, then today! This!

Bacon Festival

So this year will mark the first annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival.  Oh yeah.  You’d be hard pressed to come up with a better tasting festival, at least in my opinion.  I heartily applaud the creators of this one.

The Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival will be held in Des Moines, Iowa on March 1.  Apparently this is National Pig Day, so the choice was obvious.  A local pub, The High Life Lounge, will hold the honor of home base for the festival.

The big bacon event will draw people from all over the country and involve all kinds of bacony goodness.  There will be $1 PBR, every kind of bacon containing food, and a bacon eating contest.  The creator of the event, Brooks Reynolds, has donated smoked malts to local brewers so they can come up with smoky beers to go with bacon.  And to top everything off, a chef from Chicago has created a maple bacon cheesecake with a Templeton Rye whiskey glaze.  Yum.

My only question is “Can I Go?”

I’m very, very sorry that I missed this yesterday.
