Last week, I was pumped up, full of exuberance. Hence, it resulted in the termination of my lethargy and a new dawn in my Food blogging passion. I am still excited. I just cannot wait to recite a newer, fresher kitchen chronicle.
Almost all the time, I am thinking. I dream for innovation, ideas that can elevate my stories; notions full of spicy thrills. Well, the previous night I found one, while I was unable to sleep as the room darkened.
Before my spirit dies, lemme exploit the opportunity and strike while the iron is hot. (Except in my case, it is a cast iron utensil)
I would call this form of kitchen chronicle: “Bizarre yet True”
A short intro first…
In this, I will be talking about some unconventional stuff that are a bit strange though always (mostly) can be found in and around one’s kitchen.
Bizarre Yet True Episode 1: Pets
Yah! Pets, you read it right. Whether you like them or not, they are basically everywhere. They are omnipresent (in a kitchen). And by pets, I mean of all varying sizes. In every kitchen, whether personal or commercial, there is at least one or two lurking in silence. If you are unaware of such pets, go dig your kitchen and you might find some. Rats, cockroaches, termites, ants and many more. (Wait! They are not pets. Pest, right? I misspell a lot)
Pets or Pests, it doesn’t matter what you call them, they are a nuisance for everyone. In big commercial kitchens and restaurants, the staff loathe them from the very bottom of their feet (Not heart). They get humiliated if a lizard swims in the soup, or a rat races beneath the customer’s chairs. Horrendous! But it becomes more terrifying when an unprecedented food safety officer visits for a ‘Quality Control’ checkup. I am getting chills…

| Mr. Chamka |
Meet my largest buddy who often roams around my kitchen. His name is Chamka, the one with a shine, in Bengali. He is a nice creature, very social and communicative. An extroverted cat. Loves to eat chicken meat and fish too. Mostly he is given milk and biscuits, because it’s more economical. He goes crazy when is left unattended. His hunger tantrums are worth watching. Despite being a tiger hued feline, his roars (meows) are entertaining.
The question that requires to be answered is:- How to control the pets that skulk in the place where we are supposed to maintain topmost hygiene? I would suggest, rather than scaring or killing them away, just give them whatever they are in search for (in moderation). Feed them if possible. But if situation goes from worse to worst, use rational chemicals. Treat them well.
(Clearing my throat) I am saying this because I DON’T DESIRE TO BE SUED BY ‘PETA’.
Befriend them or not, YOU DECIDE!
Thanks for reading…
