Accidental Adventure of Baby Turtle

Last Saturday husband wanted to do BBQ at the nearby park.

So the night before I marinated chicken meat in:
- soysauce
- rice vinegar
- Worcestershire sauce
- ketchup
- ground black pepper
- green onions (scallions)

To intensify the marinade I should have added minced ginger and garlic, but I omitted these ingredients. Anyway the chicken tasted really good (according to husband).

Husband grilled chicken meat, red+green bell peppers, mushrooms in banana leaves. Initially I thought of preparing kebabs on bamboo sticks, but decided that the banana leaves actually enhance the flavor of grilled food better.


While the food was left grilling on our portable grill, husband and daughter took a walk around the park's lake. They found this baby turtle lost in the park and brought it to me.

Daughter kept looking at it and wanted to play with it. I told her not to touch the poor little guy and thankfully she followed my instruction.

Well, husband wanted to keep it with my Betta fish to 'teach' daughter about wildlife, but I said 'NO!'

First of all, I don't want to get into trouble with the law for 'kidnapping' a wild animal.

Secondly, I don't want my Betta fish to be this turtle's supper [in case it got hungry, you know].


In the end, common sense took over so husband put the poor little guy back to the lake.

Before they had any chance of picking up 'lost' animals, I told them we need to leave before it got too hot. I guess I'll have to keep reminding husband about not picking up wildlife from the park.
