Exactly. Cutting boards should be stowed on edge if possible to minimize germs landing on them from whatever source, and any food prep surface should be cleaned before use. Even without a cat.
A couple of our cat's favorite places can't be reached without jumping from the counter so I take the responsibility for clean food prep and removing possible toxins instead of trying to keep her off it.
Wait to carve, but buy them early. They keep well if intact. This year instead of carving, I cut cardstock face-bits, sort of like a Mr. Potatohead, colored them with markers and stuck them on with doublestick tape. Today they're plain pumpkins again, for Thanksgiving.
Some people say they have trained their cats to stay off the counter and dinner table. Their cats have learned how to not get caught on the counter and dinner table. Except for disabled cats who can't jump, all cats make use of the vertical space in their homes. It's one reason they don't need to go outside to get exercise. And they feel safer when they have the high ground.
Because that question has 4 numbers in it, which is too confusing for the average viewer. But yes, the $40 billion dollars Trump g(r)ifted to Argentina would have kept SNAP completely funded for 5 months.
" China has assisted Cambodia and Thailand in our own way to resolve the border dispute, and we continue to promote peace talks to address other pressing issues in the region."
Trump, seemingly oblivious to the nuanced diplomatic correction, responded by calling Xi his "longtime friend" and a "great leader", expressing enthusiasm about potential trade deals.
Yep, I buy the big jug of sugar -free orange Metamucil powder and put a rounded tablespoon into a 12 ounce glass. Stir as I pour in the water, so it won't clump up, and chug it down quickly because it's more powder per water than recommended and will form a spoonable gel if it stands Which is okay if you're into that, I've eaten it that way, but I'd rather get it down and follow it with a glass of something I like better. I have wondered about making something similar to boba pearls with it. The box of packets is more expensive but at least you could add one to a glass of water in a restaurant and drink it politely.
Yes, thank you!
