I found your blog recently and now check it daily. My youngest son’s girlfriend is experimenting with a food blog (Sonja’s Special) so I gave her your link. I also have a terrorist cat named “Evil Kitty” -and she truly is. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, sense of humor and great recipes

terrorists cats. it’s really a problem.
Joy, you and all your multimedia makes me happy. Really really does. So much, that I resisted the temptation to make a “joy” pun on your name. I’m sure that gets mighty old. Hope you enjoy the remainder of your evening :)
