Low fat, delicious, gallstone-friendly: the Greek Yoghurt Mini Parfait To celebrate the release of my newly-published book on August 1st, I am giving away a few hard-learned lessons/recipes about low-fat eating. Yes, that’s just how I celebrate. I am crazy, and generous, like that. This is all in the name of attracting more readers, of course, which means I am not quite so selfless as I appear. (As I said in the book, I need money, so I need to sell books, OK?)

And then I found out that on that same day a Celebration of Life was being held for a friend, Sid, in Canada, and I had to make a choice. As much as Sid would have approved of any even ..read more

On the move, again A few weeks ago, my humans – without consulting me – catnapped me from my chilled apartment life, put me in a box, and dumped me somewhere new. I hate new. I loved that apartment – I spent my days there living my best life: mostly stretching, lounging, eating and playing.
