Not even close to a first down either.

Living in a rural area, we had the mice, shrews, voles, etc the cats
could dine on if they had any sort of ambition. Some were more ambitious
about catching their own food than others were.

 RH> LOL.  Blow dryers and cats don't mix.

No, they don't but kitty was miffed enough about getting a bath, he
figured to dry her off quicker. Her favorite treat tho, was popcorn. We
made it in an old pot; we couldn't even get it out without her hanging
all over us until she got her share. Years later, our cocker spaniel was
the same way with the air popper.

This is a thin edge that runs around the outside pan bottom, about half
way between the center and the edge. It would take many years to wear
off, Steve is going to try to speed up the process.

Clearing up a misconception--I can have pasta, but not in large amounts
at a time. It helps to know the amount of carbs per serving, how many
servings a recipe makes so I can judge my portion accordingly. If it's
high carb, I eat less of it, more emphasis on the protein. If it's low
carb, I can eat more of it but have to make sure it's well balanced with
protein.
