Sushi Night

I love making sushi for my family!

I made inarizushi no moto (tofu pouches) and put tuna in a few because I had some tuna left over.

The floret looking things are kind of an open-faced onigiri with tuna and whipped creamed cheese that had chives.

The smallish rolls have tuna, celery and whipped chive creamed cheese. The larger ones have fresh green beans from my garden and double layers of tuna.

Yum.

Phish Renamed to Sea Kitten?

Ashley Byrne, a PETA senior campaigner based in Washington, D.C. remarks that “Hooking a fish through the mouth and dragging it out of the water is really the same as hooking a dog through the mouth and dragging him behind your car.”

Of course, if you named that yummy tilapia 'Scruffy', then no one would dare slap it on a plate, right? This is the line of thinking that lead PETA to request that the band Phish change it's name to the more snuggly alternative: 'Sea Kitten'.

Found Baby Bunnies in My Yard

The other day, I thought that Zoe was trying to eat Gizmo again. It turns out that they found a nest of baby bunnies.

Stupid mommy bunnies like to poop out babies right in the MIDDLE of my yard. 10 steps in front of the backdoor, right in the path of the dog run.

It's a wonder there are any bunnies in the world at all. Apparently bunnies dig these little 4" holes and do this all the time. Just plop the bunnies in and cover them with grass clippings and hair to keep them warm.

I had to do something, because either the dogs were going to make a beeline for the bunnies and eat them the next time I let them out, or one of my kids was going to step in this hole and be traumatized for life when they feel the crunch of 5 baby bunnies and pull out a bloody shoe.

Google told me that if you take them inside, they have a low rate of survival. Plus bottle-feeding a bunch of bunnies sounds like a 6 week pain in my ass. The only thing I could do is fashion a cage for them that the bunny mom could get in, but the dogs couldn't get into.

I cut the cage from my garden fence, which I had constructed to keep the bunnies out of my garden. Somewhere Momma Bunny is laughing her ass off at me.

I stuck a sweater on it so that the rain wouldn't fill up the hole and drown them. Again, HOW are bunnies not extinct? Imagine sticking a newborn in a dirt hole and covering it up with hay and hair. Google says the mom comes back only for about 5 minutes in the middle of the night to feed them.

The babies try to jump and make noise whenever you move the covering off of them. Each day so far they aren't squeaking for food, so I think she's still checking in.

I will update if they are eaten by snakes or grow into something cute.
