There was a strange sight in my kitchen this morning while I was preparing my lunch for the day. I had just drained some freshly cooked macaroni and left it out to cool while I finished getting ready for work. When I returned to the kitchen a few minutes later to add the cheese sauce and chopped hamburger, I was in for quite a surprise.

I’m used to seeing lizards in my house but to find one in my macaroni is not exactly an everyday occurrence. How it wound up there in the first place will forever remain a mystery.

The lizard was completely unharmed and quickly returned outside to its natural habitat on my patio.
