“Please, papa, won’t you turn on the furnace? My brother knows not the warmth of a lap and will surely perish if you work on the computer any longer.”

I think Merlin and Morgana are trying to tell me it’s time to turn the heat on for the season. Personally, I don’t see the problem #catsky #CatsOfBluesky

Every time people tell me, “You’re at 37.8°N, you should be able to see the aurora from your house!”

Nah, we have light pollution and clouds/fog virtually every night here in the Bay Area.

Ok, fine, I’ll admit it:

This very tedious formulation prototyping project would be less tolerable if it weren’t so frickin’ PINK

My brother found a miraculously good deal on eggs so, naturally I had him over to make a frittata (with spinach, tomato, onions, and bacon) and mini breakfast quiches (with sausage, scallions, and Fresno chilis)! #ChemistsWhoCook

A lappy #caturday from Merlin — remember to find the skritchy spot of the day! #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky

I’ve seen folks say you can caramelize onions in a slow cooker for years, but I finally tested it. The same reactions should be accessible with lower kinetic energy input, albeit at a lower rate.

Recipe said “6-12 hours on low” but clearly needed 18-24. Pics are t= 0, 6, & 19 h. #chemistswhocook

I fell for the same trick twice! #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky

And now it’s bath time.

Welp, Merlin woke up and got jealous, so we are now further from getting up to do the dishes than before. #caturday is what *they* make of it, I supposed.

Well I was only planning to sit for a minute while I answered some texts, but I guess M&M decided that there has not been enough #caturday couch time. #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky

How am I supposed to go to bed when this is the lap situation going on here?!?!? #Catsky #CatsOfBluesky

Morgana likes to “help” me put on my shoes every morning. #Catsky #CatsOfBluesky

Starting off #caturday with a little cuddle puddle lie-in, as is right and proper. #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky

No Sunday Scaries in this house, too busy trying to meet this weekend’s cuddle quota.

While my retired parents share pictures from their European vacation, “Oaktoberfest” in the Dimond will serve as an excellent stand in for “European vacation” this weekend! #Oaktoberfest

Morgana enjoying the Lap of Luxury. Unfortunately, this Lap has to go to work :(

Quiche Complete! Spicy and aromatic, approved by my brother and (apparently) my cat, Merlin. #catsky #CatsOfBluesky
September 29, 2025 at 3:09 AM
Getting there!

Quiche “Before” pictures: chicken thigh, Fresno chile, green onion, spinach, garlic, herbs, Parm

Smells amazing already!

Sometimes Merlin wants to have a lap, but is unwilling to wait for the lap to be reconfigured. He doesn’t like to balance on one thigh, thus he demands and captures a supplemental hand. #Catsky #CatsOfBluesky

Merlin’s tabby belly is not a trap! Warm weather has been promoting open cat conformations primed for pets. #CatsOfBluesky #Catsky
