1/27 - I've got a kitchen and I'm not afraid to use it

Ahoy, Oakland! I'll be here till Feb 2, chillin' with feline company.

The best kitchens are like living, breathing ecosystems, fluctuating with seasons, locale, and the evolving tastes of their keepers. Lisa and Erik are just the people to keep such a cozy, comfortable kitchen. The last time I was cat-sitting for Lyapa, I was distracted by the plethora of nearby shops and restaurants. This time, I'm planning to take advantage of their lovely kitchen. Objective (rough approximation of): Chicken stew.
