Ratatouille

Ingredients:

1.       Old house (100+ years or older work best)

2.       Holes in Walls (either self-made, or natural)

3.       Hair (the more the better)

4.       Mice (if you’re on the timid side) or Rats (if your gutsy)

The other morning I woke up and realized that I had made a new friend during the night.  Curled up in my hair was a little mouse, who I am sure, set safely behind glass in a pet store, would have been quite cute.  However, the lack of a thin pain of glass makes quite a difference on your perception towards a creature. I don’t know how long he had been there, but his little claws created a slight tugging on my hair.  I was up in an instant, and on the opposite side of the room.  He wasn’t nearly as phased as I was; he simply sat there for a bit, as if wondering why I had ruined his warm bed and then scampered back to his hole.  Knowing I had to get rid of my accidently made “Ratatouille,” and saying a quick prayer of thanks for 24 hour Wal-marts, I grabbed my keys and began to formulate how I was going to get rid of the leftovers. 

What to do with your leftover Ratatouille:

1.       4 am trip to Wal-mart

2.       $35 worth of d-Con mice traps

3.       Peanut Butter (Natural Skippy works best)

4.       Patience
