I woke up this morning to find sugar spilled all over the bench and the sugar bowl emptier than it had been when I went to bed. Now, I'm throwing no accusations but I feel there may be a connection between this and being woken by Tinker hurtling around the house and meowing constantly.

Yesterday was a nice, if long day. Lots of tidying up in the morning and then James went and picked up the in laws. There's been issues lately that have led to the BiL moving out, which is why they'd all came here for the day, just to chill and let the kids have a change of scene. So, James came back with them and also more boxes of veggies from the awesome wholesale place. Mushrooms, tomatoes and cucumbers this time. Sadly as I don't have a mkstrnanny here at the moment I was a little unsure what to do with a whole box of cucumbers. Okay, I'll wait while you get the sex jokes out of your system. This journal is a clean place¹. Done? Okay. So, the SiL ended up taking most of them, but we still have lots of cucumber in the fridge.

We fed everyone, I hung out in the garden a little with the niece and nephew. Corey spent a lot of time playing with them and being big cousin. Poor C, at one point he was sat slumped on the garden wall after hours of having a 5 year old and a 2 year old at his side all day. Coffees were made, sandwiches, pasta, more coffee, I snuck online time and then they went and my ears rang with the silence.

I really need to write more JuC swap today. It's going really well, but I'm over 6,000 words and have much more to say. Poor Justin, his life. So hard. What with finding velcro for his sneakers and dark glasses to hide his eyes, well he's hardly got time for creepy inappropriate ghost love.

To end. ephemera_pop was asking for blowjob snippets, and because she's awesome beyond all measure I tried. Linked because it's not often I go beyond hand holding and kisses. So if you want to read a bit of Bob/Ray blowjobery, it's here

¹Shut up! It is.

OH NO KITTY! Sugar bowl? Really? Morgan has never ventured that far onto the counter. Yet.

(Yes, I am up early. *facepalm*)

ETA:
Cukes? You could peel and slice them and make cucumber sandwiches. Kiddo LOVES them. (and so easy - cukes, mayo, bread YUM)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yep, right in the sugar bowl. My own fault because we don't use sugar but the in laws do, and it just didn't cross my mind to put it away before bed. Still, she should have known better.

You really are up early. Hope things are okay.

Hmmm, yes. I do like cucumber sandwiches. The nephew was eating them in big chunks yesterday. I was finding soggy lumps of cucumber everywhere.

Oh jeez!!! I don't use Sugar either, unless I'm baking (which is a separate container), and have packets for the coffee. Bad kitty!

Yeah, things are fine. I just woke up when DH got home from work this morning and couldn't get back to sleep.

Oh no! Soggy cukes!! Thats icky.

Oh god. Cats on sugar highs are not what the world needs o.O

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They're really not. A flash of black and white fur zooming past is quite the thing to see first thing in the morning.

Ooh, do you like pickles? Because chinese-style pickled cucumber is delicious and really easy.

1lb cucumber
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp caster sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
3 tblsp sesame seed oil

- cut the cucumber into thick 1 inch batons
- put in a bowl with the salt, mix well, and leave for 20 minutes.
- drain and wash the cucumbers, and pat dry on kitchen paper.
- put in a bowl with the sugar and sesame oil.
- mix and marinade for an hour.

Eat! They'll also keep for a few days in the fridge.

If you want to make it spicy, you can heat the sesame oil up in a wok with a tablespoon of ordinary vegetable oil, and quickly fry some chopped ginger root and chilli in it. Leave it to cool, then add to the pickle when you'd usually add the plain sesame oil.

Man, you give the best recipes. I'll have to pick up some of that vinegar but once I have I'm going to give it a try.

[llamabitchyo.livejournal.com]

(I want to see your fic.)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'll post the latest I've done at the usual place :)

You love me! Hee~

[sperrywink]

You have the strangest cat. I don't even think my cat would be interested in sugar if I left it temptingly spread out for her.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, strange is the word *g*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Your cats eat sugar?! Neither Lancecat nor Sinbad has ever shown the slightest interest in anything sweet.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I didn't think so, but apparently they do.

They're just weird cats I guess. One of Milo's favourite treats is a chilli crisp.

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

First milk, then cucumbers! I say you make pickles. Cucumber sandwiches!!! Add some cream cheese into Den's 'recipe' for a little different taste. Mmmmmm.

<3

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Anna suggested pickles, and I may give it a go :)

I'll give the sandwich recipe a go for sure.

The Magic Realism fairy turned Chris into *your* cat? That's a new twist, I guess ... ;D

Ohh - I have to get my sister to send me a couple of packets of this herb mix that she was using to make the *most* delicious cucumber salad. Mostly, though, I just slice it up and eat it like crisps. I can get through a few cucumbers a day like that!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It seems so. Pity it doesn't work the other way and I get a Chris in my house.

I forgot you like cucumbers so much too. You and Karey are so cucumber twins *g*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, my aunt and uncle had two cats, and this large bowl in their living room, and whenever we came over it would be filled with candy. One time it was M&M's, and when we sat down to eat, they jumped right in there, and then chased M&M's around on the floor.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's an awesome story! And I could well imagine cats chasing M&Ms.

Two days ago James was eating his tea and Pansy jumped right in his plate *g*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahah, awh!

[puszysty.livejournal.com]

This journal is a clean place and yet you post a blowjob snippet 2 paragraphs later.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That doesn't count, it wasn't on my journal ;)

[rikes]

I had no idea cats even ate sugar!

Your swap story sounds AWESOME.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I didn't know they ate sugar either. But it seems they do.

My swap story is the best ever! One-armed one-eyed Justin can never not be funny!
