A Plague of Biblical Proportions

May 08, 2015 by Andy Bokmeyer

A nice quiet day was in progress.  The day job was going well, there was good sun, seeds were germinating, plants were growing, and then, thanks to some kids that decided to enjoy the weather and backyard, I received a plea to let them keep a certain amphibian captured invading the homestead.  Now, the point of the homestead exercise is to teach them where food comes from, know the conditions in which it is raised and grown, and maybe even teach some science along the way.  So, I could only imagine they decided to try a dish with some international flavor.  To my chagrin, they actually wanted to keep it as a pet, going as far as to name it Aphrodite.  Impressed as I was with their grasp of Greek mythology and the concept of irony, I was not pleased they didn’t want to rustle up an afternoon snack.  My kitchen has been over taken with this creature and I am sure I understand what the Egyptians went through.  I am still holding out hope for a snack, though.  Anyone have any good recipes?
