and now with extra protein!
Oh dear...
Let us mourn the passing of this poor lonely caterpillar. Plucked from it's munching existence by a heartless harridan...
I was testing out my new fish kettle the other day - poaching ocean trout for tea. I poured in some white wine, some water, salt and pepper, and a handful of freshly-picked parsley. And, so it would seem, a caterpillar. As I discovered when I opened the lid to put in the fish and saw a strangely-coloured bug floating in the simmering water...
Ha! I am Vlad the Impaler!
No! I am Shogun!
He boiled people alive.
I remember watching Shogun with Richard Chamberlain in Year 8 Japanese. That scene - it haunts me still. Everytime I get into a too-hot bath, I have flashbacks of blood-curdling being-boiled-alive screaming... And they weren't frogs neither.
Serves the bugger right - I'm sick of having my herbs and pelergoniums munched by rabid green caterpillars. Let this be a lesson to you all: no shipwrecking of yourselves upon my shores of greenery.

I second zyz16300, great blog AB.
I think a bit of extra protein is fine ... you should have minced it up and sevred it in the sauce.
zyz163000 - why thank you! I'm so flattered... but I already use Mozilla, and it is indeed a fine browser...
LaRue - I tried to get Miis H to eat it. But she wanted to give it to the aborginials because it's 'bush tucker' apparently.
oh actonb, you are the most unreal mother 4 girls could ever have.
"I tried to get Miis H to eat it."
