Baby Kato

About Me

I am a very lucky lady. I live in a small town in Ontario, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.

Our cherished son, beautiful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter live in the big city close by, so we get to visit with them frequently.

We are very excited we are first time grandparents ...Yeah!

She's here she's here, Introducing Miss Carlin Blake.

When we found out that the baby was a girl. Six pair of feet never touched the ground that day. I'm sure that we lit all the light bulbs in the neighborhood, with the sheer force of our smiles.

We couldn't wait to meet our grandbaby, she arrived a little late but was definitely worth the wait. We are all so thrilled to finally meet her.

It was love at first sight and we are completely in awe, she is perfect.

It's been almost 2 1/2 years and I am still having the time of my life. Nana is the best word in the world, next to mamma.

I melt whenever I hear her say Nana, in her pretty, soft little voice.

 I am so fortunate, that I get to babysit my darling Carlin once a week, she makes me tea and soup all day.

I didn't think it was possible to smile any broader than I do but she certainly is teaching me how and what fun it all is.

Thank you Carlin, I love being your Nana.

My sweetheart & I share our home with our three furbabies, our cats (aka - the spoiled ones). The tabby tag team of Isis the warrior princess and her big brother Brute, the scardy cat and Miss Charla.

My mother's cat, Miss Charlotte moved in with us over 3 years ago. She is a very regal and loving girl, a beautiful Calico, the queen of the furbabies and boy does she knows it.

She is still trying to rule the roost but too no avail...the warrior princess will not allow it.

You better believe that life is good for the little monsters and that they rule the house and us. The motto at our house is "Wish I Was A Cat".

Baby Kato was a ferral cat who gave birth to four adorable kitty's in our backyard. (Isis, Brutus, Angel and Seth).

My passions include family, friends, pets, baking, reading, biking, gardening, photography, rock collecting, bird watching and most metaphysical subjects.

I LOVE Recipezaar and am still so pleased to have found this site.

If you have ANY questions about ingredients, techniques, equipment or temperatures this is the best reference library I know...there is always someone who will happily answer your query.

I started cooking and baking when I was 16 years old, but I must say that my cooking and baking continues to improve everyday, as do my photo taking skills, (a work in progress) thanks to all the wonderful people here, who are willing to share their recipes, secrets, tips, hints, skills and talent.

 In the 8 years that I have been a member, I have grown so much. 

Thank you all so much. My hats off to all the talented chefs & photographers on this site.
