When I went to the store to buy Bailey more food I noticed a brand next to the one I normally buy (I've been buying Iams for the last 12 years) that was labelled
No Corn No Wheat. Well, you know that
No Corn label caught my eye, since
I basically think corn is evil. --Nevermind that I ate a whole bowl of popcorn last night.
So anyway, I bought a bag of Iams and I bought a small box of the corn-free Purina One brand Beyond cat food. I conducted an experiment: I poured the same amount of cat food into two identical bowls and put them side by side. Bailey went for the new cat food first. She also completely finished it before moving on to the Iams. I just read the ingredients list for the Iams: chicken by-product meal (that doesn't sound appetizing), corn meal, corn grits, ground whole grain sorghum, chicken....then a bunch of other stuff. The purina ingredients: chicken, chicken meal, whole brown rice, soybean meal, whole barley, whole oat meal ... then a bunch of other stuff.
So once this bag of Iams is done I'll start buying the Purina One Beyond. No more corn for Bailey.
I recently decided I wanted to make cinnamon rolls. I finally found a recipe that I thought would work. I didn't put any frosting on them, and I think they turned out awesome. Of course they were best when they first came out of the oven. I've been eating them as dessert--heated up and a la mode. I cut these thinner than the recipe directed. That was a lame attempt to shrink the serving size. Amazingly enough, there are still some in the house (I cooked them on Sunday.) I think these are worth the effort and I think next time I'll make them thick just to see how they turn out.
My third failure is heartbreaking. I failed my orchid. Priscilla is dead. Last night the only green leaves left cracked and fell over while we were talking about how rapidly the leaves had gone brown. I killed her. Penny is still fine, yet I have no idea if she'll ever flower again....
