November pizza: stuffed crust with pepper jack, mozzarella, and veggie-based pepperoni.
A Chicago style deep dish pizza in a cast iron pan cooling on the stove. A closeup of the cheese layer leaking out slightly after it's been cut into.

This busted fence seems like a good place to practice my moves. Laa laa laa.
An orange and white Devon Rex cat atop a flimsy catio fence that's been broken by the weight of a grapevine. He's staring at something to his right. Same situation, but he's now walking along the perilously thin top of the fence. Now he's attempting to turn around and his legs are splayed like he's breakdancing. Now he's looking at the ground about 4 meters below.

Heyyy. Whatcha doin' there? Some kinda computer stuff? Cool, cool. Well, we're here if you need us.
Two orange and white Devon Rex cats recline in their cubby above my desk. They're in a cardboard box on a heating pad. One cat is lolling his head over the side and looking down at my monitor and the other cat is looking at him with a slightly annoyed expression.

One of his favorite games is Forcefield, in which we use an object to attack him while he's protected by mesh. Then he works himself up into a violent frenzy.
An orange and white Devon Rex cat lies on his back bicycle kicking at a toy fish through the blue mesh of his cat tube. The same situation, but now he's poking his claws through the mesh.

Climbing Mount Meshmore one more time before it's taken inside for the winter.
An orange and white Devon Rex cat summits a large mesh pet camping tent. He's almost to the top. The same cat is now perched on the tent poles at the tippy-top.

Good morning.
Two orange and white Devon Rex cats lie in a fuzzy cat bed. Morning light is coming through the french doors.

The evening ritual of watching and waiting for their other guardian to come home.
Two orange and white Devon Rex cats perch side-by-side atop a cat tree in front of a large window scanning the street at dusk.

Made baked Alaska for some reason and it was better then I thought it would be. Coffee-gingerbread cake, mocha chip ice cream, and meringue. As with all American recipes, reducing the sugar by 1/3 helps it taste like food rather than sugar.
A 9-inch baked alaska after having a slice removed and placed on a plate in the foreground. The maringue is nicely browned and the structure looks decent.

I expect fun, and then I expect food. Then fun again.

Oh, hi.
An orange and white Devon Rex cat sits on a powered audio monitor staring at me as though surprised to find me here in my office.

I am frugal and make carefully-calculated financial decisions after considering all available data and possible consequences stemming from my choices.
Five boxes of Reese's Puffs chocolate-peanut-butter cereal lined up neatly on the stove like Busby Berkeley swimmers about to dive into my mouth.

Looking for anything in particular, or just browsing?
An orange and white Devon Rex cat regards the camera as he walks atop books on a floating shelf. He's lit from below and looks dramatic.

Too cold. Not today.

Chilly out there. Best to stay in bed.

Made buttermilk biscuits.
Five large fluffy browned biscuits and one small one on parchment paper. UKers would consider these a kind of savory scone, which is also accurate.

Watching a wand toy innocently meander accross the bedscape, tra la la. Soon, there will be murder.

The boys regard a recently-acquired print of a cynical, nihilistic cat smoking a cigarette.
Two orange and white Devon Rex cats sit on a shelf looking at a small framed print of an enormous cartoon black cat smoking a cigarette. Above the cat, the following slogan is written: In this house we believe that everything is really dumb, and nothing matters. A zoomed-in look at the previously-described print.

Good morning, cutie.
Two orange and white Devon Rex cats lying on a fuzzy cat bed in front of a french door. One of them is looking up at the camera. We're zoomed in on the cat regarding the camera. His eyes are huge and shiny.

Sometimes they disagree.
Two orange and white Devon Rex cats have a spat in a cardboard box on a shelf. One cat is lying down and slapping the other cat in the face.

They love to hotbox. That is, hang out in their heating-pad-lined boxes.
An orange and white Devon Rex cat lies on his back with his front legs sticking out of a cardboard box on a shelf. The same situation, but we have a slightly better angle into the box. The cat looks very content and relaxed.

He dragged this bag of knitting across the living room and attempted to throw it down the basement stairs.

Checkpoint. Please present your hand for smelling.
Two orange and white Devon Rex cats sit on a table next to a doorway. Their postures are similar and they look almost identical.
