What is the STRANGEST thing in your kitchen?

You are wild, Faith! My kitchen is CLEAN. Well, not spotless clean literally but it only has what a kitchen "should" have. You know, pots and pans, cutlery, tables, chairs, you catch the drift.:P I had a friend once who reared chicks in his kitchen - as PETS. I asked him if he meant to ever eat them. He said no, just to "play with" as pets. Of all places, the kitchen!!! I can't imagine how healthy those chicks will grow up to be seeing their brothers and sisters slaughtered next to them day in day out.:PP

Yes I'm glad that the opossum isn't in my kitchen or even in the yard. The strange that gets into my kitchen is my grandson when he decides to wash up his breakfast. Other than that I really don't have any strange things in the kitchen at the moment.

I have a problem also finding things to discuss, but this is a good one Faith...I have a very old Mickey Mouse plastic bank way back from the 30's..It belonged to my husbands grandmother...Don't even ask how it ended up in my kitchen,because i ahve n idea..haha....He's about 8" tall and ugly really haha

Oh wow, I have a dog kennel in my kitchen, but I don't know about having a wild animal in mine, you are brave..lol There strangest thing in my kitchen right now is on the kitchen table are all my husbands tools. Since he had been working on our broken down van, and we have no garage, he is keeping his tools on the kitchen table. So now we are eating in the living room. Though it doesn't bother my family, it bothers me because I like to eat at least one meal at the table and not in front of the tv..(I know it can be turned off, but hubby taking a meal break also has to watch tv..)

I have a fish aquarium in my kitchen. Was only supposed to be there on a tempory basis while I got the lounge carpeted and a unit bought, but finances haven't allowed the luxury of the carpet yet and too heavy to move now. Also I temporarily had two guinea pigs in an indoor hutch until there outdoor hutch and area had been built. At this moment in time I am typing at the computer with a rabbit sat on my lap. Ellie :D

Luckily, I have not had to experience the opossums in the kitchen. They are everywhere here and usually the dog gets them when they are in our backyard. My son has to do a perimeter check every night before bed to make sure the dog hasn't caught some animal and killed it. We didn't find the last opossum for 4 days, so needless to say, it wasn't a thrilling experience dealing with it. We also have raccoons that play in the trees at night in our yard. I try hard to keep him away from them because they are rather small and don't tear up our trash or anything. We also have a few rats and a couple of mice, but again, all of this is outside. The rats and mice get into the grill after we've used it, but then we set the dog after them. Sometimes he's quick enough to catch, but most times not. As for IN the kitchen, other than a occasional lizard or gecko that I would have to catch before my cats did, the craziest thing in my kitchen would have to be my 14-year old son. On his nights to cook and/or do the dishes, it's like a comedy show or carnival show. He talks to the dishes, uses all kinds of different voices, he'll pretend the dish water is quicksand, he instigates Mortal Kombat between silverware; he's a trip! Now if only he could stop doing all of that during school, but at least his medication is helping him alot in school. It just wears off about 7pm. I have to either go outside or go into another room to laugh.

Don't see an image on this discussion so maybe I overlooked something. Ewwww, how could you stand it knowing you had a possum in your kitchen? I would have moved. The strangest thing in my kitchen would be me because I don't like to cook. My husband would think I was sick if I made a meal at home. Next in line would be our stove and oven. They are the orignals and old. This house was built in 1965 but we never did replace the stove and oven. I use the microwave to heat food such as leftovers so the oven hasn't been on in a long time. Guess they still work..lol

I have had a little chipmonk in my kitchen, and i've had a bat in my kitchen. Those are probably the two most strange things that have been in my kitchen. Other then my husband that is. HE's pretty strange himself. and what he was doing in the kitchen is beyond me, he doesn't do dishes and rarely cooks, so i'm not sure! lol.

I cannot think of anything, only when I have pile up dishes all over the kitchen, they stress me out, I really don't like to wash dishes.

I'd have to say the strangest thing in my kitchen would be my husband helping with the dishes. Like once in a blue moon!!!hehehehe

have had the possums in the barn but never in the kitchen, lol. that would be strange - though I have often had live chickens in my kitchen. I guess currently the strangest thing in my kitchen is a stoneware butter churn - though probably not altogether strange - perhaps not so very common.

Yes I am VERY glad that there are no wild animals in my kitchen, unless you count my daughter. I guess the strangest thing in my kitchen would have to be bubbles and playdough. I keep the my daughters bubbles and playdough on the highest shelf in our kitchen because it's the only place in our house that she can't get to them. I know those aren't very strange. Maybe I'll think of something better later to day. I'm still on my first cup of coffee.

Hmm, I don't have anything TOO strange in my kitchen. No live animals! When I was growing up in Michigan, we once had a wild baby rabbit living in our kitchen though! It was in a cage too. My uncle who worked for a lawn company found it and was afraid it would die on its own so he took it to my mom. We gave it to the DNR after about a week so it could be raised to be released back to the wild. I am looking at my kitchen and the only thing really out of place is my sewing machine. We never replaced our dining room table after Katrina so the counter is the only place I can sew at the moment.

I am so glad that oppossum is not in my kitchen. It reminds me of a huge rat. The strangest thing in my kitchen? Hmmm, that is a tough one. I suppose it would have to be my husband's knee brace that he left on the counter.

Hehe, I could see how you'd have a problem figuring out where to put this one! Thankfully I've never had an opossum in my kitchen, though I know people who have had them in a stew pot. :P I don't think there's much in my kitchen that is terribly strange, except for occasionally my horrible cooking experiments. I suppose some people would find the assortment of herbs in my kitchen to be kind of weird, especially the ones that are considered poisonous and that I have solely for religious use.

About that opossum, you can keep him. I have not found anything strange in my kitchen except maybe some lids or papers hidden under the dishwasher, some silver flies or bugs in the flour, and maybe something like a card that was replaced. But it gets too cold here for any animals to hide there and besides I do not live on a farm so the only = well there was a time, when a sparrow flew into our kitchen and was there a few hours while my husband and I were out grocery shopping. Well then my husband had to put him or her outside and then there were the rather annoying bees and bumblebees, but no opossum, thank you. I have no idea what I would have done and I would wonder how he got up here.

Wow an opossum. That must of been fun :)..Um the strangest thing in my kitchen would have to be ME!! I am very strange and i go into my kitchen a lot. :P:P

Lol Faith, for a while there, I thought you are talking about a ghastly ghost lurking in your kitchen. "grin" My kitchen is what a "normal" kitchen is supposed to look like. Don't you think the cage is too small for your lovely possi? I don't have much knowledge about the nature of opossum. However, Possi closely resembled my bunny in terms of shape and size. When my bunny first entered into my life, she was as small as the palm of my hand. Really adorable. I let her roamed around my house and my kitchen was her favorite place. No sooner when she turned 3 months old, I found out that Bunny was munching on all the electrical wires of my kitchen appliances. It was a miracle that Bunny didn't fried herself. I immediately called a carpenter to build a small barnhouse for Bunny. It was right outside the patio which is adjacent to my kitchen. :)

Though it's a pretty common sight, I still think the occassional flying cockroaches are the strangest and scariest things!

Strangest thing in my kitchen...I'd have to say my husband cooking. Seeing him cooking is very very strange, lol. The food is always excellent though :)
