A curious brown spotted lizard climbed up on my kitchen stove as I was making my coffee. I did not blame it, the smell was divine. I had nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves swirling around in some almond milk, into which I will pour the newly moka-brewed coffee. The lizard looked at me but would not move. āThe stove is going to get hot just now, you better run.ā āI will take a scalding any day for a taste of what you are making,ā lizard responded.
