Thank God that I am Episcopalian...
Pancakes.
Yeah. They are tasty little rats.As I hear it from some folks around here you can actually eat those things (squirrel that is) but I've never been that hungry. Looks to much like a rat with a bushy tail to me ...
All my passwords would be DIAL MTV. I know this, because a few people consistently forgot to dial 1-800 first.A problem easily solved by using one’s childhood phone number as a password.
I was going to like that, but it hits too close to home.
For those unaware, prions are not living cells. In fact, they are not cells at all. They are simply short segments of a weird protein that under some conditions can change its shape. Weirdly, this shape change induces other prion molecules to undergo the same shape change and cause spongiform encephalitis. In humans the disease is called Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease after the unfortunate man in which it was first identified. In cows it is called Mad Cow Disease, and in sheep and goats it is called Scrapie. Also weird is the disease is transmissible by eating or inhaling infected brain tissue. Virtually all mammals are susceptible. One of my wife's mentors died from Scrapie after he helped a neighbor dispatch a flock of sheep by shooting them in the head. Brain tissue must have been volatilized and he inhaled it.My grandmother was the same, I just always thought she was nutz growing up (she loved scrambled eggs and “shortbreads” ). When ever we would butcher a pig, sheep or goat she would be there (lived a mile down the road and my dad would let her know) to make sure the put down shot was at the joint of the spine to the skull instead of the customary cross point made from the eyes to the ears so she could harvest the brain. Never did try eating it but she sure seemed to go out of her way to get it, so it might be darn delicious.
Copying might not be a great idea
Squirrels are actually pretty tasty. The standard joke is "tastes like chicken", but they don't... they taste more like a Cornish Hen.
Very well done!
You're eating the wrong part.I heard squirrels taste nutty.
a friend's husband had a car that he left of the street for a little while, with the key in the ignition. I noticed the key and let him know about. His reply was that no one was likely to know how to start that antique car or even drive it (sorry, I don't recall what it was, but it was a rare one from the very early 1900s).
My daughter bought a Smart Car with a manual transmission specifically so her friends couldn’t borrow it!

That's the key. Use any recipe you want, but slow cook them. Otherwise they taste like your shoe would if you stepped on a dead squirrel first.Cook ‘em in a slow cooker
