Christmas Popcorn

When in Maui earlier this year, Roni and I stopped at a roadside stand and bought what I can only describe as the best popcorn ever! It was in a plastic bag and had some sort of sugary coating, all sorts of mixed nuts, salty stuff and was so good I felt guilty just eating it. I want to bring down some popcorn creation to Calgary for Xmas. If any of you have a killer recipe, please send it to me. I'll try it and bring lots to share.

Angry Cats

Has anyone ever had difficulty trimming the claws on their cat? Our little Meeko, rather timid most days, dons her evil feline persona any time I approach with the claw trimmers.

Some tips ........ I've found that if you can get your knees right in the middle of her back, her feet kind of splay outwards and a guy can get most of those offending razor-sharp claws. Using the kitchen floor helps as there isn't a lot of traction for her. Easier to wipe up the blood afterwards too.
