Say hello to my little friend..

I think I've mentioned my little friend, Gordon the Gecko, here on the blog before so I thought it was time to post some pictures of him.

I'm sorry about the poor lighting in the pictures but I didn't want to use the flash in case it pissed him off. :)

I know this is a food blog so I have included a recipe for Iguana stew below the pictures. Not that I condone cooking and/or eating your pets in any way, shape or form. Unless it's a pig. Or a duck. Or a cow. Or.... ;)
