Um, I think you’re a month late. I am seeing the first kitten as April 16th, 2005. Unless I’ve really missed something, it’s May now

Looks like we missed the anniversary - the first entry was April 16 2005.

Can we have a “Better Late than Never Party”? I bought a 1-gal frozen margarita maker at Wally World last night!

mmmm margaritas. I’ll have one please.

Grabs Ruby while Ginny is distracted by making margaritas and high-tails it out the door! Leaves McGuyver behind to set booby-trabs to keep Ginny from being able to follow.

Count me in! What little cutie that first kitten was!

Yeah, we can celebrate anyhow.

I think you just got a dried hairball ppearson. Ginny never had Ruby She was just delusional (as usual)

I stick with beer. Got a nice microbrew the other day at the store

could you share the beer? I’m not big on Margaritas and I want to celebrate too!!

I’ll have a strawberry/mango ‘rita, please!!!

:))

*passes beer to Pipa’s mum*

Not as good as some of the Belgium stuff I’ve had, but still dang tasty

**passes Spanish beer (MAHOU) to Instinct**
Try this… served in a freezing glass…

You want REAL beer? Here, try Cerveza Victoria from Mexico, Shiner Bock from the good ol’ USA or Newcastle Brown Ale from the UK. All delish dark beers!

Never had MAHOU before

*sticks tounge to glass to see if it will freeze there*

Ginny… are you trying to say that our beer is fake ‘cos it isn’t dark brown and hot??!!???
*gasp*

HOT BEER?!?!?!? I love my friends from the British Isles, but friendship only goes so far

well, to be exact… it’s warm beer…
but to us Spaniards, warm beer in beautiful sunny Spain is some kind of blasphemy!!!
we have beer as I offered Instinct in freezing cold glasses…

Now ladies, let’s not have a beer war here.

I suggest we hold hands and sing ‘kumbaya’ until we throw up - which for me would be about 3 seconds after we begin singing

Hook me up with some of that frosty mug Spanish beer! Although a Belgian ale sounds wonderful as well.
And I’ll be throwing up with you Instinct on the singing.

*passes a frosty mug to MeezerMama*
I know it’s hard to believe but I could really pass over the throwing up part….
P.D. MM you have some beautiful cats!

It’s too bad my roomie isn’t on this site. He’s an international beer connosieur of the first order. He’d drink all those beers and ask for more. Albeit spaced out over the day with good pub food, of course.

Oh thank you Pipa’s mum. You do too.
How about we skip the singing and then none of us has to throw up.

Good idea.

Hey, Pipa’s Mum - Can you give me the real REALLY authentic receipe for Sangria - have several friends who make it - batches are never the same (some really yuck - how do you say yuck in Espanol - not Yucatan, yuk, yuk). Found a new one over the weekend, a cookbook from Australia at that lovely discount store Tuesday Morning - it just says Spanish red wine, brandy, and thinly sliced fruit. My friends add actual fruit concentrate ???? Recommendations, comments. Thanks y’all !!

hello!
I don’t know if anybody reads this at this time…
But I’m clearly in a different time line and people may be looking at the next kitty when they wake up!
But I thought I should give the real recipie for SANGRIA…
Here it is, the real thing, as my mother does it:

In big punch bowl add:
2 bottles of red wine (here we use less quality wine for the sangria but it can’t be too bad)
1 bottle of lemon soda
2 glasses of cognac or rum (depends on tastes)
6 spoons of sugar
2 oranges cut in chunks (the peel decorates the bowl)
2 peaches cut in chunks
a piece of raw cinamon

That’s it!
Enjoy and tell me about it!

REAL SANGRIA!!!!

Whooooooo Hoooooooo!!!!

I second that Whoooooo Hoooo!!

Well now that everybody is a little bit tipsy from all the nice alcohol, I will nonchalantly pick up Ruby. I will just walk away because I can.

No, you don’t if you care for your life! *waving menacingly a baseball bat*

Thank you Pipa’s Mom - will be trying this soon - not positive about what you call lemon soda, but will look for - we do have some soda shops which sell imported stuff and will look there or in Spanish grocery - we have quite a few now, so great not to have to drive to Miami or Orlando to get chorizo sausage, etc. Thanks again !!!

I’m based in London, so it’s posted at 3.07pm London time (GMT). So if you’re based, for instance, on the East Coast of the US, you’ll get it at 10.07am.

Thank you, I am on the East Coast, USA so tomorrow I will be waiting at 10:06 am.

I’m always lurking about that time, unless we have a staff meeting. Staff meetings really cut into my kitten time!

*brings in the martinis*

Here! Here! (Raises champagne glass to toast.) To Kittenmaster!

To The Daily Kitten and Kittenmaster! Bottoms up!

I notice, too, that people were offering to buy the first kitty. Now they just snatch them and zoom off on their motorcycles or submarines or whatever. Must have something to do with supply and demand. Of course, now that there are 730 archived kittens, there should be plenty for everyone.

Cheers, Kittenmaster!

Kittenmaster,
I noticed that people were offering to pay for the kitten. Now there are pitchforks and catnappings. So much fun, so little time.

For you’re a golly good Kittenmaster
For you’re a golly good Kittenmaster
For you’re a golly good Kittennnnnnmaster
And so say all of us!

Hmmm…I thought it is suppose to be “jolly good”…perhaps the margaritas are taking hold? I am way too late today….sorry job hunting takes priority for now.

LOL I’m an English major not a SPELLING major!

btw good luck Karin!

Thank you Rosie.

Good luck job hunting, Karin. Job hunting sucks big time.
By the way guys, you can all have the beer.
But since I’m back in Texas and back to work (from vacationing in Minnesota), I can’t even think “Margarita”.

Chin Chin, and cat fur is a garnish in my house!

Slainte’

“Gra, Dilseacht, Cairdeas ” gaelic for:
“Love, Loyalty, Friendship”
which we have plenty of here, but may not have if it weren’t for “The Man”…thanks KM and here’s to many more!

Salud!

Kippis!

*holds Ginny down while MeezerMama forces meds down her throat*

I’m much better now (see below)

See, a true friend gives you what you need, even if it’s not what you want!

It’s for your own good Ginny. Now swallow. Good girl!

I miss the kitty contest one day and all this violence!!
*giggle*
