    awwwww . . . so cute that Michael whistles when he passes you. That little story put a big smile on my face. It’s the little things, right?!? πŸ™‚

    Awww it is so cute when your cat has missed you! Mine just gather around the food bowl and meow at me!

    I love soup. Soup is awesome. With bread for dunking πŸ™‚

      Haha! Mine usually do that too, but Fat Kitty ALWAYS sits in the window.

    Before I moved out and left my cats with my mom, my older female used t greet me at the door. She’d sit in the front window and watch for me to come home.

    Also, we’re gonna have to try that chowder I think! Looks delicious!

      It was pretty good! Enjoy!

    That looks like a book I NEED right now! Thanks for the tip!

      Get the book! So far it’s really good. And seriously, it was only like 65 cents on Amazon….

    Hi Lisa, is Fat Kitty just a name or is he really fat? Anyway, that’s a cute detail about your furry friend. The Black Bean Corn Chowder dish looks very healthy but I try to stay away from canned stuff and processed foods as much as possible.

      “Fat Kitty” is the nickname I use for him on the blog. I don’t call him that in real life. πŸ™‚ But he kind of chunky. He could easily lose about 4 pounds!

      The black bean chowder would work great with dried beans, too. It would just take longer.

    This is the 3rd soup recipe I am pulling this week! I use fat-free half and half for my coffee so I would use that I think. Looks nice and hearty and good to package up for lunches at work! Thanks for posting πŸ™‚

      I had the leftovers for two lunches. They were much better with a little sour cream on top.

    Our dog misses us but our cat tolerates us. πŸ™‚ It’s true but we love him anyway.
