Mouse Hunt!

What happens when you combine a former city chick who has seen rats the size of small cats, a handy husband that is surviving on too little sleep and a mysterious “something” with an appetite for a 45-year-old house in the woods? Chaos, I tell you, chaos. When I last left off, I was telling you about our adventures with a mystery rodent. Let’s call it Godzilla, so you don’t confuse it with that cute little epicures mouse in Ratatouille. Better yet, let’s call it the ROUS (rodent of unusual size); with teeth.

It was like actually watching a tidal wave of rats and I’m sorry Disney and Pixar – you … Continue reading →

Are you ready for Ratatouille? I admit to have some reticence when I first saw the previews for it because the idea of a film that focused on a rat in a kitchen didn’t seem to be so appealing at first, but later previews are persuading me to be more interested. As part of the promotional campaign for Ratatouille The Big Cheese Tour kicked off yesterday at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The Big Cheese Tour So what is The Big Cheese Tour? It’s a cross-country event that will be appearing at major food festivals and others all summer … Continue reading →
