Watermelon??
I couldn't believe it. Last night I grabbed a little container of
watermelon I bought and was eating it while watching TV. Pooh, my senior old lady cat, came into the den (which she never does) and hopped up next to me to beg. For watermelon?? I gave her a piece and she gobbled it right up!! She had to have smelled it enough to come into the den to get some. Maui and Oscar paid no mind to it.

So he had to settle for a few licks only. Bobble |

I used to love eggnog, and so did my kids. I made it the way my mother made it - with raw eggs, no cooking involved. I think we *were* better off. Salmonella in raw eggs (and on raw chicken skin) wasn't such a big problem when you (Joy) were a child. I don't know how old you are, Winnie. I grew up in the 1960s, and while I didn't eat raw eggs (because it seemed gross), I don't remember anyone saying it was dangerous. Modern factory farming methods have made the problem a lot worse.
