Interesting about cats...

Unlike other mammals, cats lack the proper genetic coding to experience sweet tastes. Cats have a mutant chemoreceptor in their taste buds that prevents them from tasting sweet things, which is actually a trait shared by all cats big and small, not just domestic ones. In 2005, scientists from the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, discovered that a genetic deficiency deletes the sugar detectors on the taste buds of a cat. In other words, cats do not possess the genetic hardware needed to taste sweets.
FYI:

Saw a funny short film of a donkey heading the lead of a bunch of sheep.... hundreds of sheep!! LOL. Yep, that's Hill-liary all right!  

Later I remembered I had some avocados in the fridge so decided to make guacamolé.


I cut up the avocados and added in the spice along with some cilantro and granulated lemon, and mashed them up.

I drained the chiles and fire roasted tomatoes well and added the whole can of chiles and half the tomatoes...
Then....... since it was National Vodka Day I fixed a vodka rocks with lemon juice and had a snack!


All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
