Well was I suprised this week when I came home from my 3 day stint at the
firehouse. When I walked in the door I sensed something wrong! I quickly ran
into the kitchen (10') and found what used to be a package of Ancho Chile
Peppers that I had bought the week before. The problem was that these chiles
had been torn open, shredded beyond belief and were almost gone and
sprinkled all over the floor, hell this was done better than any grinder I
have. Two other bags remained untouched (thank god). Then I noticed on top
of the fridge on a cutting board I had forgotten a wooden spoon saturated
with Ancho Chile Powder, it had been gnawed on the edges quite thoroughly. I
realized at this point I had a RAT to deal with!
This isn't any normal rat I thought, this is a chile eaten rat, a
superbreed! My plan was simple, contact management and get a rat trap. I got
the trap and they even put their topline peanut butter on it for a quick
kill. The first night I came up empty handed! Night two came around, I moved
the chile bags to prevent further heartbreak. In the morning I woke to find
the trap still set, but to my amazement the super rat had eaten all of the
peanut butter off the trap without springing it! I forgot this was a ANCHO
RAT!
Well tonight he is going to have the honor of nibbling on some salami
wrapped very tightly on the trap, I think I'll top it with some Ancho Seeds!
You're going down ANCHO RAT!
So you think I got the ANCHO RAT? nope the sucker out smarted me, the trap
and the new sticky trap again!!! He is now on another counter, my guess is
he is searching for the Chiles. good luck Rat your days are numbered!
I thought you might get a laugh out of this real story!
