3. Drama in the kitchen
Wed May 8, 2013, 04:44 PM
May 2013

I'm fixing the meal I was going to have the other night (hoisin glazed salmon and shrimp), crabcake, corn on the cob, potatoes, and salad) because I flipped out when I was making it. Due to all the drama, I quit making dinner. I totally lost my appetite.

Here's the story: I reached down for another container of olive oil and when I pulled it out of the cabinet, I saw something moving in it. It was a mouse!

I saw one of my kitties bring in a mouse the other day and the mouse escaped her. Well, I found it: in my expensive olive oil. The container top had fallen off.

I screamed. And screamed. And screamed. And screamed some more and I ran around the kitchen and the whole house, actually.



No one came to my aid.



Nice to know an ax murderer could visit and no one will hear me around here.



Fortunately there was less than an inch of olive oil so I took it outside and turned it upside down. Olive-oiled little mousie ran away. What an adventure he must have had. He was just scrounging a few bird seeds in the entryway when he was captured by the resident little black cat and brought into the rest of the house. He escaped, only to fall into a container of olive oil.

Finally he was free, but I'll bet his friends think he "smells funny." Oh, the stories he will tell.

my olive oil stays out on the counter because no one puts anything away.




Don't blame you for not cooking after that!!!

Bill had a tooth yanked, so I am grabbing bites of what I can when he's distracted. He is crazy hungry since he can't eat yet.
