Lychee Lime-aid and Kitties?

Lychee Lime-aid

4 limes (juiced)
1 cup of lychee berries (peeled and pitted)
1 cup of water
2/3 cup of sugar

After peeling the lychee berries and juicing the limes, add all ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth.  This may take several minutes to break the berries down.  Chill for 30 minutes.


Lychee berries are a lot of fun.  Now that they are in season, I grabbed a small bag at the Asian farmers market.  I had the idea of making a lime-aid when I noted the limes were 10 for $0.99.  It all came together in the kitchen a few hours later.

If you have never used lychee berries, they can be a bit filmy so make sure you rinse them well after you peel them.  Also, this drink is very rich, if you want it a bit less tart, add more water.


Early in the day, Ashley and I took a road trip to Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe.  We browsed around and I ended up getting some match meats.  I have never used them so we will see how it goes.

Once we got back to my house, I began making the lychee lime-aid and Ashley went to the front yard.  I went to see what she was up to and saw this little bugger and it's 3 sibling on my front porch!



It seems that they may have been living under my back deck or even in my crawl space.  They look like they around about 5 weeks old.  I am not sure if they are strays, feral, or just run away domestics.  As much as I like cats and miss Tato, I do not really want 4 kitten to live with me.  I am much more of an old cat guy.  These kids sure were cute though!

I am not sure what to do.  I have been putting food out for them because it looks like their mom is gone.  I may end up taking them to a shelter.  They are very skidish and run when i get close to them.  I do not really want to force them into domestication, I am not sure what to do.
