Half of this plant has been sheared off by Kip - I'll walk into the kitchen to find him on the ledge of the bar, chewing away on that plant.
This is the only plant he eats, luckily - I'd be really mad if he touched my succulents.
Anyway, her question sparked an idea for a future blog post - Ask Me Anything! Well, almost anything. Actually you can ask, I just may not answer if the question is too out there. So here's your chance - if you have anything you've been wondering about, ask away in the comments today. I'll compile everything into a post for next Friday.

Speaking of Kip, he's acting like an old man kitty at times. I guess he has the right; he had his pelvis broken years ago by what we think was having a garage door come down on him (not ours, but a neighbor's), so I'm sure he's got some kitty arthritis that flares up occasionally. Some days he misses when he tries to jump on the counter in the laundry room, where his food is (we have to keep it up high or else Paco will eat it all). But then, just when I think maybe he's winding down his lifespan, he'll be high up on the kitchen bar, eating my plant. Still, he's become more affectionate toward me and likes to lay on me while I knit, which is a new thing for him:
He was sleeping with his head on the yarn until I tried to take a picture...then he opened his eyes. Still cute, though.

Jeff has been watching Kitchen Nightmares online lately, and somehow that inspired him to cook a meal on Sunday. He doesn't cook very often, and when he does, he usually is not thrilled with the outcome - mostly, I suspect, because he tends to add a lot of extra ingredients to a recipe. But for this one, he followed it to the letter, except for adding wine to the sauce, because when he shopped for groceries on Sunday morning, he couldn't buy the wine (Texas has Blue Laws, which mean you can't buy alcohol at certain times...and also you can't buy a car on Sunday. Weird, I know.) Anyway, the meal turned out really good, and he asked if I was going to blog about it. I jokingly asked if he took any pictures, and he pulled out his phone and airdropped them to me. So here's his homemade meatballs and spaghetti sauce:
The recipe is from Ina Garten, and it's simple enough that a non-cook could mostly follow it with little advice/help from the peanut gallery. Plus, he cleaned up the kitchen afterward, so this was a win in many ways for me - a delicious meal, with no cooking or clean up? I'll take it!
Have a great weekend - don't forget to leave your AMA questions in the comments!
I can take or leave meatballs, but Jeff is half Italian and is always on the hunt for a good spaghetti and meatball dish. This one was very good!
