Whats the weirdest thing you've found in the kitchen?

and she was only 76....

And to think, when I started reading this post I was picturing weird kitchen gadgets....silicone rubber rings for cooking nice round eggs

....and it turns out the rubber rings were being used for something entirely different!

Is that a big slug? (ie thumb size or thereabouts) We get those, they come in and looks like they're attracted by the cat food.
Horrible things, even the chooks wont eat them.

They do eat normal slugs in you garden tho hence 'tiger slug'

A rat in the pantry.
Chased it round the kitchen with a squash racket, before it leaped athletically and gracefully up between the dishwasher and the bench top, and disappeared down the hole the d/w hose came through, and into the wall.

"Dere's a rat in the kitchen, what am I gonna do? I'm gonna fix dat rat...etc etc..."

Strangest food? Hmmmm....
A couple of days ago, #3 Troglodyte retrieved his bag that had been unopened since university finished in November or whenever. I think the 'thing' in it used to be an apple - it was hard to tell...

I bought some pearl barley last year to make soup and put the remainder in a container. Moved it recently and thought "what's that moving inside?" It was full of black weevils or something, talk about gross! Threw them out and won't bother making soup again if you have to put that crap in it as the eggs must have been in the bag when I bought it.

We had my mother here for Christmas one year and I cooked chicken breasts wrapped in bacon. There were two left over and they weren't on the bench after lunch so I assumed someone had put them away. Found them two days later after we'd taken her home - she'd put them back in the oven... what a waste! They were a tad green and smelly by then.

The grossest thing was when I was living at Wellington Hospital's nursing home though - get up in the night to go to the kitchen for a glass of water and find all the bench and dirty dishes crawling with cockroaches! Man that place was disgusting. If you got up in the night and walked into the hallway you'd hear them all scurrying away.

One mothers day my daughter who was almost 5 at the time (now 13) decided to make her mum a treat for breaky......Into our old(blew up but thats another story) 4 slice toaster went a 15 pack of crumbed fish fingers......When it came time to cook them it dawned on her that she wasen't aloud to play with the power points so she put the toaster away.......About 2 months later i couldn't handel the smell anymore and couldn't figure out wat it was seeing as i have cleaned every surface several times.......I then started going through the cupboards and what do i find?

Something that at one stage in it's life was fish fingers still in the bloody toaster!!!!

[crfchick]

Worst thing I've ever found is the biggest cat s**t ever all over the floor, fridge, cupboard doors! It was awful, you honestly smelt it before you saw it - some stray had gotten inside, freaked out and had the shits all over the kitchen - OMG!

My Mate Rick is restoring a vintage car at the moment.

He has a lathe and a mill in his kitchen.

Used to be in the lounge but he shifted it to the kitchen cos he reckoned it was too hard to get the swarf out of the carpet.

I have a tank full of tropical fish in my living room - which leads to having a bunch of stuff in the kitchen that I think is quite normal but other people may find a little strange. For example...

• a jar of live mosquito larvae
• A bowl of aquatic snails
• various things being boiled on the stove to sterilise them - things like gravel, drift wood, marbles, nets...
• frozen food in ice cube trays in the freezer - usually some kind of worm or grub
• cubes of the above frozen food thawing out in jar on the bench
• large slices of cucumber impaled on the handle of a teaspoon (to make them sink)

When I'm feeding fry I make infusoria. Here's my favourite recipe:
sterilise a jar
blanch a lettuce leaf
put the lettuce leaf in the jar and cover with boiling water
leave the jar on a sunny windowsill until the water turns green
feed the green water to your fry using a syringe.

That reminds me I also have syringes, test-tubes and test kits (consisting of small bottles of various coloured chemicals). And just about everything you would need for a major hydroponic operation including lights, fertilisers, etc. (Not all in the kitchen though)

Hot hot night the other night and I slept with the door open..
as I slept.. something was creeping round my house....
I stumbled into the kitchen at 6.30 am and stood on this


EEEEEOOOOOH!

What sort of fish?

Naked giant snail by the looks

Nah, it is some huge as slug that invades your house through any really small gap (under the door will do if the gap is big enough) and eats your friggen cat food. It possibly would eat your cat too, if your cat was fat and slow to react that is

[slofox]

Yer - wot 'e said - tell us about your fish...

[Mom]

tell us about your fish...

Since you asked

Many years ago I partook of happy hour at work on a Friday night, it was a good happy hour

On the way home we stopped to buy the standard fush & chups, this from one of those places that also sold fresh fish. Seems I was thinking about the cat as well as my hungry tummy, while waiting for my order.

Got home and discovered I was actually far too happy to even consider eating, so I promptly went for a face down, star fish like sleep on the bed.

Got up the next morning, friggen hungry for some reason, went out to the kitchen and there was this paper wrapped parcel on the bench

What is a girl to do? I opened it. Well call me green about the gills and forever regretful for doing it...a fish head, yep an over night out of the fridge fish head, in all its smelly glory in my face first thing.

Well I will leave the rest to your imagination really...


I have never bought fush & chups under the influence again, nor have I ever bought a fish head
