Earlier today I was busy testing a burrito and slaw recipe.  While I cook, I stack my recipes at the end of the “chop and chat” and my laptop sits across the kitchen. I had just finished the red cabbage slaw and sat down at my computer to type the first pass of the recipe. Deep in thought I looked up and you see can clearly see what was happening in the recipe testing area. May May my cat had positioned herself on my stack of recipes as if she was about to secretly eat the burrito to her right. I assure you: none of the food was for consumption for anyone outside our family and the stack of recipes she settled on belonged to me. It’s a manuscript. For my own cookbook. Yes, a cookbook authored by yours truly. I’ll reveal more details as they become available. For now I return to the other side of the kitchen. She just jumped down and I’m going to get back to work. Life in a test kitchen is always exciting, particularly when a cat’s involved.
