Pokey returns.. sort of

There was much debate about whether this was blog appropriate but I could not resist sharing this with you. In the interest of full disclosure and honesty, here goes...If you are squeamish or bothered by large slimy things...look away! Now!

What is that brown blob amongst those leaves???

AAAhhhh! It's the most ginarmous slug ever! The picture doesn't do him justice, he was massive. I think Pokey sent him here. However, he just didn't have the charm that little snail did. A slug bigger than my thumbs combined just isn't cute...

He came to us via a plant, and now has found his final resting place in the garden.

I'm still all creepy crawly about it and to think, I was planning to have our first recipe tomorrow? Anyone still up for that ? ;) How about slug soup?

PS- Sorry about the less than in focus pictures, one can only get so close and spend so much time near the King Kong of slugs!
