NOT WELCOME...

is what I thought when I saw this critter on my floor.  I have been determined not to allow any form of amphibian in my home.  They are not welcome.  And he had the audacity to make his home in my kitchen.  Do you know how loud these things sound, scurrying around your kitchen floor?  They almost sound like a mouse.  God did not create them to walk on tile floors, but rather in grass and dirt.
  It took me about 15min or so to capture this Skink.  I placed a box right outside of the hole (that I discovered was there when I discovered the skink).  After a little while of sitting on my stool to research what kind of lizard this was,  he walked into my trap (an open box).  I scooped him up and the preceded to take him outside.  Glad to have that ordeal done with!  A mom can only handle so much in one day.

Tonight's Dish

I'm having a hard time getting used to peppers, no matter what color.  I really do not care for their flavor.  So far I have only had them roasted, so there might be another way that I can prepare them and finally be able to enjoy them.  Who knows.  Anyways,  I had my thank you bite, and then ignored the rest.  It was good,  but I really do not like peppers.
  Chef Turbo was excited to have them again, although he only took a few bites.

Last Thoughts
I have decided that I like to make bread with milk and butter.  It really makes a huge difference in the loaf.  So worth the calories.

Peppers,  I really do not care for them.  There a whole bunch in this chapter, and I will be making these recipes here and there.  This week there will be two.  Today I made Sauteed Bell Peppers.

What are Bell Peppers?
They come in different colors, green, orange, red, and yellow.  The younger form, that being the green variety, is the most consumed color,  and from what I read from Mr. Bishops book, the less sweet.  It's better to let them ripen to their color.
  Other names: bell pepper (US); peperone (IT); pimiento dulce (SP), cayenne, paprika, pimento. Capsicum annuum

 What the Kids Thought...

Chef Turbo ate one without me looking and then ran into the kitchen to announce that he liked it.  He then ate a second one.  Great progress for the first try!

Sous Chef Squeaker would not even touch it.  But I am not surprised.  I give 2 year olds leeway.  Sometimes they need time for their taste buds to grow up. 

 

My Thoughts:

It was ok.  Again,  Bell Peppers are not my favorite flavor in the world.  But who knows, maybe by the end of this book I will enjoy them more.
