Pet annoyances #2

You just can't reason with four-year olds so was unavoidably involved in rodent-minding duties at the weekend.

Only on a very limited basis, but this was still too close for comfort; the wee bastard bit me. The hamster, that is.

Had to show him who's boss, remind him who it is that's top of the food chain here.

Here's the recipe:

Rodent fajitas

Ingredients

Rodent - 1
Onion - 1 large
Peppers - 2
Coriander - 1 bunch
Four Tortillas - 3
Lime - 1
Garlic - 1 clove
Tequila - 2 bottles

Method

Flatten rodent with meat-tenderizer, cut it into thin strips, then flambee in tequila. Slice the onions and peppers and add to the rodent. Add the garlic, coriander, a squirt of lime and another generous splash of tequila. Stir in and then leave to simmer for a couple of minutes. Serve in the tortillas with salsa, salad, and soured cream - washed down with the other bottle of tequila. Lunchy.
