Our former tom-cat had a severe liver-crisis when he was only three years old – survived with the omelette-and-broth-with-oatmeal diet and lived twelve more happy and healthy years.

Any pain-killers prescribed?
If that question makes no sense, let me explain. Last night’s movie was “Empire of the Ants” based on an HG Wells story. Ants get into radioactive material and grow to 8′ ants. Joan Collins plays a ruthless real estate con-woman.
In one of the breaks Svengoolie has a visitor who is terrified of ants. Every time Sven says a word that includes “ant” like those in today’s puzzle, he freaks out.

I love to sip pickle juice, or to use it as a starter for pickled onions, carrots, cabbage, or many other uses. Don’t throw it down the drain! Waste not, want not.
There are all kinds of pickle juice, and some are very healthy, in moderation.
Not the one I like, probably… which is sweet pickle juice.
I crave sweet pickles… actual small sweet pickles, not relish or “bread and butter” or other sweet tasting kinds… like a pregnant lady in a1950’s sitcom.
I don’t like them chopped up in other food, but on their own… just a few a week, because they’re not the healthiest choice.
…
You need to keep enough juice in the jar to cover them, but I drink a tablespoon or two of it as soon as the level of pickles falls below the surface.
Never right out of the jar, for the sake of sanitation … but from a teeny cup.
I’d buy bottles of just the juice if I could.
You wouldn’t drink much of it… too much sugar and salt… but a little bit is refreshing.
That’s the healthiest kind; better than with artificial sweeteners – the sugar in the ingredients’ list turns into lactid acid anyway (which is the intended preservative).
We mix sweet pickles (chopped up small) with mayonnaise and canned tuna (solid white albacore in water) on Dave’s Bread (21 whole grains and seeds) as part of a MIND diet for breakfast once in awhile. Gotta mix up the offerings so she doesn’t get bored, but looks forward to a different breakfast each day.

“SWEET PICKLES” (no credit given)
100 tiny cucumbers
4 cups vinegar
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons salt
1 level teaspoon allspice
1 level teaspoon cloves
Scrub and drain pickles. Pack into serilized jars. Mix vinegar, water and sugar,
brign to a boil and simmer, adding salt and spices, until thickened to syrup. Fill
jars to overflowing with syrup. Seal. Wait a month before using. Makes about 4
quarts.
Notes from me:
I find this cuts down beautifully to a 1/4 proportion.
I also use sliced English cucumbers.
I do not over fill the jars with syrupl; I leave an air gap and put them in the oven at 175° F. for for around 30 minutes with the lids on but loose. When I take them out, I immediately tighten the lids and that creates a vacuum seal for the aging process in the fridge.
I have been known to add dill to the brine too (not too much though).
I have an un-illustrated very selective collection of Andersen’s stories. (19 of 156) first published in 1920 and reprinted until at least 1962 which is the one I own.
In truth, while I do read one the very odd time, I don’t really take to his tales.
The characterizations always seem overly complicated and or bland to me.
That people have illustrated his stories since 1844 (and remember the stories had to be published) says I’m missing something; I don’t know what.
I have a new ear-worm. It’s not so bad
A small funny thing I watched this movie, probably way earlier than i should have, at a drive-in (in the back seat) with my brother and his girlfriend.
I only now figured out that it was Liza.
Today’s Songs:
1. ‘We Are the Champions,’ 2. ‘We Built This City,’ 3. ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire,’ and 4. ‘We Gotta Get Out Of This Place,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe 5. ‘Cannellini Bean Soup’.
1. Written by Farrokh Bulsara who was born in Stonetown, Zanzibar in 1946 (two pictures of Stonetown below / the first is the sultan’s palace, the second is of Farrokh’s childhood home there). His stamp collection is on display at the Postal Museum in London.
2. Written as a lament about the closures of a good number of Los Angeles’ music clubs in the early eighties by the English musicians, Martin Page and Bernie Taupin.
3. As I said when I first posted this here I knew only that it was well written, just not how well written.
4. Try and imagine the original intended group singing this; ‘The Righteous Brothers’.
5. At least the beans are presumably cooked before canning this time.

You got me LOLing. Same with our section of 101. (Not having a 1 here.)
But does it have an elevator?

How’s QT?
Have you seen my Morosche carrot soup recommendation from yesterday?
Poor girl is miserable. She’s having bad pain when she pees. And she has only had 3 doses of the antibiotic.
I did not but i’ll go look at it.

Good idea on the pain-killers
No. 🙁
This morning she did pee, without pain, and she got more antibiotic. So help is on the way, so to speak. I’m letting her rest and staying close.

Mention QT on Ten Cats. Lots of additional support will help you both. Prayers.
Sounds like a great medicinal recipe! I hope it helps.
When ya gotta go… Sheesh! Why did they put it so far away???
