The GEICO Gecko came to visit us this weekend! Wasn’t that nice of him?
I must say, he wasn’t a very good salesman; he didn’t offer us a good deal on car insurance… in fact, he didn’t offer us any deal at all!
Here he is, trying to enter our house! (EDIT: Actually, a reader informed me that the guy below is not a gecko, but an anole. Ya learn something new every day!)
Maybe he was hoping for some of my dinner?
Homemade curry stir-fry (broccoli, beech mushrooms, cabbage, bean sprouts, garlic, onion, and a ton of curry powder) and brown rice
linds says
oh my god- a gecko!!!! That is so cool!!!! I definitely think he wanted your dinner, it looks awesome. You should also make Kelly’s cookies because they came out great 🙂
Don’t you worry, I ordered two giant bananas, you should get yours any day now 😛
Ruby Red Vegan says
If I was a gecko, I’d want your dinner too! You make curry look so easy. Maybe I shall get a bunch of vegetables and beans for my dinner tomorrow and bust open my new thang of curry powder for it!
And I’m glad my comment amused you – I suppose I must return the favor every so often, because your posts are also often quite funny!
Jenny says
Yum, your stir-fry looks great! And I noticed your ubiquitous chopsticks. 🙂
We have those lizards by our house! We call them “greenies” to tell them apart from the brown lizards that we also have. (The green are native to Florida, the brown are invasive-but we like them both.) Although, “greenies” can turn brown and the brown ones can turn green. Go figure!
romina says
Ahh!! My mom is so afraid of those.. she would have a panic attack if she saw it.
Your dinner looks soooo good!
Kath says
He was on our grill tonight too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool Gecko! They like to hang out around our garage–must be checking out whether we need auto insurance:)
Your dinner looks so tasty, although I have no idea what a Beech mushroom is…
Jill says
If I were that gecko, I’d be stealing your dinner.
poopiebitch says
Adorable! I’d be trying to steal that dinner, too!

Cuteness! I love little lizards! One time when I was kid, my parents yard got infested with these tiny lizards with long tails. It happened all of a sudden, like in one day. And my cat would chase them and pull their tails off. It was sad. They didn’t die though..they just had no tails left. The next day, all the lizards were gone…I think the cat freaked them out.
herbivore says
I love geckos! They are so cute! He makes me wish it was summer.
Your curry looks great!
Jennifer says
How neat. I always loved seeing the lizards when I visit my family in Texas.
Lizzy says
aww, he looks cute though =p a friend of mine has a bunch of geckos and other reptiles!
And your dinner looks sooo good! Almost like what I plan to make tonight (inserts “the great minds think alike” line again… ha ha, we’re just too great to be true =p)
Jess - The Domestic Vegan says
Oh, my gosh! How cute! Too bad you didn’t get an insurance discount, though… Maybe because you didn’t share your stirfry? 🙂
Thanks for those Google Analytics instructions the other day! That’s really cool!
Vegan_Noodle says
Nice looking stir fry… I’d be trying to get some of it too!
Alice (in Veganland) says
wow, that thing looks really big… I also think he wanted your dinner because who wouldn’t?
Mihl says
Wow, what a cool animal! Give him dinner and let him stay!
Kumquat Peekapoo says
What a sneaky little gecko! And, gecko or not, the dinner looks pretty yummy.
lengslog says
lol that’s too funny! I think the cartoon version looks cuter.
pleasantly plump vegan says

eleanor says
LOL that’s hilarious! i love the geico gecko. there’s a geico office at a corner near my house in AZ and they always have a guy in the gecko costume there dancing, and every time i see it, it makes me happy
bean_mix says
awww what a cute little guy! isn’t nature fascinating.
Our geckos are not as gorgeously green here in Australia. But we do have albino ones!
funwithyourfood says
LOL
that is so cute… 😉

That’s actually an anole, not a gecko. Sometimes they’re called chameleons, but they’re not chameleons, either. Geckos have really large finger pads so they can climb, and they usually only live in tropical/subtropical areas. Cute guy, though 🙂

Anonymous,
Wow, thanks so much for telling me this! I’d never heard of an Anole before, so I’m going to look it up online. I’m also going to edit my post. Thanks again :o).
