Amy, I love making baked ziti when I have to feed a lot of people.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

If you're looking to use up leftovers, shepard's pie is the way to go.
If not, I usually want something as far from a turkey dinner as possible by Saturday, so I'd go with a giant chef's salad or maybe a big stir-fry.

Because books.
askye, I would at least ask the landlady if you can get in to feed them. Poor things.
Thanks for the suggestions, people! I think maybe lasagna and meatball sandwiches for the kids, with a big green salad. Easy and yummy and very much not!turkey.

Landlady isn't home and wont' be for awhile. I got the neighbor's number and called to see if the landlady or I could get permission to go in, but it went straight to voicemail. I just hope she calls back.

Talked to the landlady, if neighbor doesn't call before she leaves work then LL is going to call the police and explain the situation and make sure it's okay that she access the apartment without the neighbor's permission.
Then I'm going to politely explain what happened, why we did it, and offer to take at least one, but offer to take both if she can't care for them and the landlady and I are going to split the care until home(s) can be found.

We'll see. I think the neighbor is goign to be really defensive but I'm going to try and be polite and sweet about it.
Really I want to storm in, take the kittens, and tell her tough luck, she lost them when she neglected them.
I really think leaving them alone for as long as she has constitutes enough neglect to be reported.

Because books.
Especially kittens, I think. They're babies, after all.
I have seventeen things to do today, all outside the house, and it's raining and cold and filthy out. Blech.

So, I appear to have made an offer on a house.
Wheee! good luck!
