He came out when I least expected it! Sitting on couch and all of a sudden I felt this soft presence at my feet and there he was. Currently having a growl fest as he makes his silent presence known to my other cat.

We have met and are in love! All of a sudden, the shadows fell away and the void was filled with black beauty. And really, is there any other kind????

I have been watching the British Bake-off. The crust at the sides/bend of the pan needs to be thinner and the lemon curd needed to be a shade thicker. The crusts were perfectly crumbly and flakey, the whipping cream and meringue mounded very high. 10/10 for flavor on both of them!!!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: bake a favorite flavor pie for each parent. You have 8 hours. You may access the internet for advice but for the most part must use a recipe, your knowledge, and experience. There are no do-overs or gimmies. GO!

I am at my parents' home and their black lab is wearing the Cone of Shame! She don't like it! My parents claim that she bats at them with it on purpose.

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

For the lemon lovers: artichoke pasta with lemon sauce, green olives, lemon garlic breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. To. Die. For.

I found one of my cats. Now where the heck is the other????

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

This will NOT win any awards for appearance but I can guarantee it will taste delicious! Lemon cake with limoncello, mascarpone and blueberries. I can't wait to cut into it and then deny myself a second piece!!!

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Alas. I am sorry to report that I have misplaced my cat once again. I hope the CRDS has not gotten her. Anyone seen her?

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

My mother. 89 y/o. Highschool pic. Very shy and insecure. So pretty. Look at those dimples! Wanted to go to college but misogyny said "no". Now: almost 70 yrs married, 5 kids, serious heart disease, cognitively intact, still smart and beautiful. I have love, deep respect and pride for my Mom.

Meet my puppy cat. Begging without the drool. What does she want? I will have to follow her. We communicate via context and the tail.

He was squeezed in next to me in the chair. I wanted to take a nap and he lifted his head in shock when I moved. 15 min later: I had a snuggle buddy on the couch too.

Hello! How ya doin? Can we talk?????

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

I have been wanting to make a red velvet cake for several weeks now. Have done so with assist from a Bluesky friend - behold (there are areas that need some work to be sure):

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Ok. Read the news. Saw the tweets, comments, etc. Trying to still my racing heart and sense of outrage. Think I found a little relief. New sweatshirt from Mahogany Mommies. Love it. And found this, just now.

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Okay. I am trying to distract self from the insanity that has been injected into international politics over the last several hours. Canada and apparently, now, Scotland I APOLOGIZE!!!! And here is my distraction: mini chicken pot pies.

Baguettes! Just brushed them with olive oil, salt and Parmesan cheese. 2 more in oven.

Here is a game. Anybody know what this is???

Can we just get Nurse Ratched in there too?

Helping my parents clean out their garage. Found this: it is the #2 dinner bell. Salesman would drive up/down road selling bells to farmers - to call the hands in from the fields. The # determined the price and people were competitive!

This is YLSYIE's head shot. She thought she wanted to get into acting but got stuck in Indiana on her way to Hollywood.

I showed her the pillow. I held it over her head. I slowly set it down over and behind her. This is the result. Tell me she is stubborn w/o telling me she is stubborn. Note, she moved halfway through this text.

Part two of my goof ball. This is just after he shook the water off his head after the first morning drink in the shower. EVERY morning I have to be quick and get out of the way because he sprays me with the cold water.

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Here he is in a more respectsble position!

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Hint: there is a manual out there for cats on how to take over human houses and hearts. "The Silent Miao"; although I could not find a chapter on charming and silly body positions, I am sure that it was an oversight as every cat does this.

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

I always thought that photos of cats in odd sitting positions were faked. I was VERY wrong. This is what I found in my bathroom this morning. It still makes me laugh no matter how many times I look at it!!!

My day is complete. I have a cat on my lap and now have a real excuse not to do any work.

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

She is either claiming her space, the shadow, or she is stuck. Been this way for the last 30 seconds. This happens quite often! Hmmm.

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

I BELIEVE!!!! A miracle has happened!! My 2 cats are within 2feet of each other. All praise to Bastet!!!

Someone asked for pics of cats and X-mas trees a while ago. Here is my sweetie from many years ago.

I love to try new recipes and repeat favorites. Today: Bourekis, a potato appetizer with phyllo dough, scarpaccia (in the oven) and later picadillo. For now, the bourekis:

So far I have broken a resolution. Oh well. Books. I live for books.

My chaos demon stands in front of the screen or yes, at times contributes to the letters on the page. I caught her one time practicing.

Beth Early @srtabe.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Sigh. I have lost my dam cat again. Call and call and call. Anyone seen her?
