I had pure vegetarian chickpeas and raisins pilaf and hubby had an italian sausage with zucchini rice with tzatziki and pine nuts roasted. The cats are now both on acana high protein indoor food. Hardy has not lost weight at all with the Go weight managment food and drinks too much water while on it. So I am putting him on higher quality food and just feeding him less. They are both top shape though hardy is too fat by far. 

We should truly weight them We'll figure out how to weight Laurel this week end at the vet while they do his nails.

This new vegetarian mediterranean cookbook is okay by far so far.

Two recipes done: both rice of some sort. I think I prefer the chickpeas and raisins rice (with dried apricots too and I added roasted pine nuts).The spices turmeric and cardamom, are the same as sweet puja rice in tibet. Rice offered at ceremonies to the practitioners. So it is full of flavour and memories this sweet rice taste to me hence I prefer it by far to savoury rice.

Thank you Buddha for such good foods tonight. Om muni muni mahamuni svoha Om tare tuttare ture svoha Om mani peme hung
