Couch 228--The Wellness Couch

It has been summer temps here the last few days i went from a blanket and a doona to just sheets last night.

Slumberkitty Helen sounds like she will do just fine. You are very care-full owner.

Did you end up getting a new fridge? Or are still eating out of boxes and cans?

Thank you Daffydungle! That means a lot!

LT whats you secret to keeping guinea pigs alive? We tried to keep them when the girls were young but they seemed very skitterish animals and i think a few of died of fright when they they were building the new estate behind us.

Mini poll - couscous -yea or nay? I am on the nay side as a general rule (it is not terrible like gnocci, just sort of pointless to me), but I found a recipe for turmeric couscous and am tempted.

I am pro-couscous, though I realize I haven't ever made it myself. Is it especially labor-intensive?

I haven’t eaten couscous since college and now I’d have to find a gluten free variety, so nay.

Don’t recall being impressed with it in college either.

No - the couscous itself is quite simple.
For example:
Turmeric Couscous with Navy Beans and Cherry Tomatoes - SimpleFitVegan

That looks that could be quite nice. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I like couscous but i put plenty of spices and veg with it.

I love watching Katie Ledecky swim. She’s so far ahead, she’s going one way while the rest of the field is going the other in the previous lap.

I like couscous. We make Baked Couscous with Spinach and Pine Nuts fairly often, although the original recipe calls for Muenster cheese.

SK, it's really sweet to read about Helen. You're kind to sponsor Coral.

Kit- Helen is beautiful.

Old man cat update: He slept on the couch next to me all evening all snotty and tired, and met me at the door in the morning complaining that he hadn't been let out. He ate all of his food. So the antibiotic was a miracle and he is trotting around all crotchety and demanding like usual.

Old man cat is Himalayan. Fluffy kitten is a grey and peach calico and sweet muffin kitten is a black and white tuxedo.

Hugs all around for those who want them.

I've definitely never had couscous.

WFS, glad your elderly cat is doing better.

Antibiotics are good. Even I, one who normally eschews all things western medicine, am a huge fan of them.

I just had the weirdest reaction to chocolate. I ate a small chocolate bar one i have eaten many times before and now i feel extremely nauseous. I havent eaten anything else out of the ordinary today. I am really not feeling well at all.

Wfs i am also glad old man cat is feeling better. I am dreading any of my pets getting old.

My therapist recommended "Sweet Tooth" on Netflix. I feel like he could have warned me that they burn a guy's house down with him inside it in the third episode. Maybe he's just a liar and never thinks of me outside of session because that sure seems like something that might cross his mind to warn me of.

Wow NP thats a huge thing to overlook

Ive advanced to envelopes.

I want a divorce. I know you misspelled gnocchi on purpose.

And when i do that, people just laugh at me!
