The kitchen has been smoking, Cow stir-fried his preserved mushrooms and fennel. Not willing to lose out, I attempted to bake some potato balls,... not a great hit, but still edible.
An deary sent some peanut cookies over last evening, displayed some on the plate to take a shot. Just as the first cookie's butt rested on the plate, Yumi started begging for one. A stern 'NO' set her back to her frog squatting position, she resolved to her puppy eyes attack. Owner gave her a short lecture on how peanuts are bad for dogs then moved on to the living room where there's better lighting for the photo. The canine's struggle got worse as now the cookies are within her reach but the other side of her vaguely remembered the stern 'NO'.
As the cookies sat on the table for five minutes, she howls to vent her frustration,.... at three in the morning,... howling,.... yes, she howled for straight five minutes, circling the coffee table. She got tired, and rested her head on the sofa... before coming back to the table again. For the food orientated machine she is, its a sad morning.
On a side note, there seemed to be a great increased in lizards in the house. I'm ok with lizards, but it still makes me jump when they pop outta no where. Just the other morning, while moving the microwave to make space for our new oven,... one fat fella jumped out from the back of the unit. Just as I recovered from my missing heartbeat, moving the unit further, another one jumped out again. The ordeal kept me awake the whole morning.
As I'm writing this entry, I'm not alone. There's another one of them sitting next to me in the study, with prying eyes on a bug on the wall.... Just as long as there's no body contact, and Yumi doesn't get any of them as her chew toy, I'm happy to live along side with the cold blooded, wall climbing reptilians.
