ferrets

No, not as ingredients, but “helping” you.

They’re adorable little critters, but they sure do like to get underfoot. I’ve learned to shuffle my feet so to (mostly) avoid stepping on toes and tails, but a few of these guys seem to excel at diving for the space under your foot just as your foot is coming down.

I just wanted to remind everyone that while cooking for the holidays, it’s best to keep the fuzzies OUT of the kitchen. If you were tripped while carrying something very hot, not only could you be seriously injured, but you could seriously injure your ferret, and I don’t know about you, but that’s much, much worse than injuring myself.

Expansion panels for those ferret playpens (made by Marshalls, Midwest and Prevue) are great for blocking single doorways. You get three panels in an expansion pack and that should be plenty to block most doorways. Screw-in eyelets are easy to install, and the gate can be opened and closed relatively easily. Here’s a hint: don’t get the tiny gold ones, get the next size up. The tiny ones break and pull out rather easily.
