Back in Sicily!

Hi everyone!
Not sure if you've missed me, but I'm back with my family from our Germany vacation and very glad to be home again! =)
We had an awesome time, but towards the end I was eager to get back to my own 4 walls and my kitchen 'kingdom'! ;-)
(While we're in Germany I didn't cook much, to be honest, I mostly ventured into   stuff I've read about on German vegan forums and was curious to try; such as different spreads, veggie 'deli' stuff, smoked tofu etc. and of course I enjoyed tons and tons of a big variety of rolls and different breads! ;) )
~*~*~
We went to see many places and also visited a sanctuary farm, called Gut Aiderbichl. (There's also one in Salzburg, Austria). It was nice and very touching hearing/reading about the stories of all the animals; cows, pigs, etc. 
The only sad thing I personally found though was the fact that they offered only a vegetarian, but not a vegan, menu!.. I even asked about it and got rather confused looks as if wondering why I'm asking!.. Some people still don't make the connection even though they might actually work at a place with rescued farm animals!..*sigh*
Anyway.. they also had a cat house, which of course as a cat lover I absolutely loved!!! =) I would have taken all of them with me if I could!!! :D



This one was a particularly cuddly cat who got really attached to us, especially to our son, so cute! (He called her 'Ninja Garfield' because she was -obviously- quite round and as everyone knows, all Ninjas are black! *lol*)

There were many more cats and the cat rooms were awesome, I'll have to post a separate entry with pics once I've edited and resized them all! ;)

Anyway.. it's good to be back! Now I only need to find my 'groove' back and get a weekly menu ready again! =)
