The Cat's Meow - Day 1 #100daysofwriting

There is something about a blank page, blank screen, flashing cursor, naked line screaming for content. Break the seal, crack the glass, rip the bandaid off and write. So on with the first of 100 daily posts.
 

I have a cat, Arizona, who I haven't written much about on the blog, although she is one of my favourite photographic subjects on Instagram. She is my baby, my daughter, my comfort, my companion and my little muse. Yes, muse in the sense of I can't stop taking photos of her but in another way too. I got sober on 5 October 2013 and Arizona was born three days later. She is a type of symbol, talisman, and my new vice. I run up the stairs to my flat when I get home to scoop her up in my arms. She has the softest fur I've ever felt and I bury my face in her warmth.
 

My brother says that cats only meow at humans. Arizona is very communicative. This morning I realise that she has me wrapped around her perfect little claw.  When I answer her meow I am not just a crazy cat lady, I can actually understand her!  There is the "Where are you?", the "Feed me!", the "Let me into the bathroom" and then this little "purp" sound, like a chirp that she mostly uses on my brother which I guess means "what up?".
 

I still maintain I'm not touched in the brain. Promise.
 

Sleeping Beauties #100creativedays Day 46

Arizona and I had a lie in today, an afternoon nap too... And the theme was set for the day.

Squire went to watch Maleficent last night and left cryptic clues on Facebook, like "Goodnight Beastie". I went to watch it tonight and now get the reference.

Over coffee with a dear friend-slash-fan, I found out that Mac stock lipstick in "Maleficent Red" - yes please! Every girl needs a stunning red lipstick.

Squire decided that Arizona's name should change to Maleficent - maybe because she likes to wear black and is strangely misunderstood?

And last obscure reference for the day? My "online dating pseudonym" has Aurora in it because I feel like I'm asleep and waiting for true love's kiss.

OK, now the beauties need more sleep

OK OK - recipe

I think I either got the milk wrong or used too much butternut. But here goes:

Bacon
Butternut
Onion
Rosemary

All precooked and spread in a baking dish

Then 8 eggs with half a cup of milk - pour over the mix.

Pop in the oven on about 180 celcius until browning - test the middle to check that its cooked through.

Ta daaaa and its Dukan PV day friendly

I've made it a few times. Butternut works well, bacon is a must, don't use chicken its weird in egg.... Green pepper and tomatoes are good too.
