Well....Nick just whacked another rabbit with his slingshot this afternoon......Told him fine...lets clean it and put it in the freezer....but noooo...he gave me the pouty lip look.....so we're having rabbit for supper.....sigh!

Sorta wish he'd find some other critter to hunt out back of the house...I'm kinda getting tired of rabbit!

I remember having rabbit and squirrel - mighty slim pickins esp the squirrel, lol. Maybe you / your wifey need to figure out a different way to fix it?

I bought a rotisserie chicken and it's the first time it was completely bland -- which is a good thing because I don't need all that salt - so I put a pile of Mrs. Dash on my plate and just dipped each bite into it - it was very good.
For dessert, I had a coffee cake muffin - mmm.

Here's a story about rabbits.

Archaeologists once discovered human bones on an island belonging to people who lived thousands of years ago. The size of the bones and muscle attachment marks showed these people were well fed and heavily built.

But there was a mystery. Everyone on the island died of malnutrition. They investigated what the local source of meat was and found that, you guessed it, all they had to eat for meat was rabbits.

Rabbit meat has plenty of protein but almost no nutrients. Your body needs nutrients (like those found in vegetables) to be able to break down protein. As the inhabitants became more and more nutrients starved they ate more and more meat until eventually their bodies simply couldn't absorb the protein and they died of starvation.

Moral of the story, if you're going to eat rabbit, remember to eat your veg

Isn't rabbit also very lean?

Hubby got home last last night so I ended up having a hamburger I pulled from the freezer (that I had smoked previously) and some air fried spicy french fries instead.

Tonight will be the mac and cheese with cocktail franks with a lettuce salad. I'm doing some sprouting right now so in a couple of days I should have some sprouts for salads and dishes. Yum.

I say rabbit....they are "cottontails" which is not actually a rabbit. ...its a hare.

They can be tough so my wife quarters them...then braises them kinda slow in a tomato based liquid....sorta comes out like rabbit caccatorie....and very falling off the bone tender. ...

Its extremely lean meat and very good.....its just that Nick ( my 10 year old grandson for any who don't know) has been hunting them regularly after school and I'm burned out on eating bunnies!.....And he gets hurt if we don't want to eat his kill right away...

The weathers calm and warmed a bit though so he and I are taking the boat out in the gulf after school for some spearfishing. ....and I'm hoping for snapper tonight!
We'll see. ...
