Maybe he didn't notice it at first either, and the tip was to remind himself. And yes, I love that he used kitchen implements. (Your mother might have loved that fact a little less.)

Thanks for your comment, Carol - I also wondered which came first - the careful study of frog anatomy or a drawing that didn't look quite right. As for my mother and the kitchen implements... she was not a fan of cooking at all and may well have used the contaminated tools as an excuse to take us out for dinner...
