Cara Lucia,
Que sofrimento!
This is why I long ago moved to Florida. Today: 77F, breeze from the SW. Tomorrow: 78F, breeze from the west. Next day: 80F winds form the NW.
Curse you Steve!
We’re getting the same in DFW
I don’t blame the groundhog for not eating anything… that orange blob looked scary to me!
WOODCHUCK (GROUNDHOG) STEW
1 woodchuck
2 onions, sliced
1/2 cup celery, sliced
Flour
Vinegar and water
Salt and pepper
Cloves
Clean woodchuck; remove glands; cut into serving pieces. Soak overnight in a solution of equal parts of water and vinegar with addition of one sliced onion and a little salt. Drain, wash, and wipe. Parboil 20 minutes, drain, and cover with fresh boiling water. Add one sliced onion, celery, a few cloves, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until tender; thicken gravy with flour.
How’s that recipe work with hare?
I consider getting hare in your soup a cooking fail.
Like MikeC I am in DFW, surrounded by half an inch of ice preserved from Tuesday by the continuous freezing temperatures since then, now decorated with three inches of fresh snow from last night (forecasted yesterday “as up to an inch possible,” IIRC). Every day I look at forecast.weather.gov and conclude that I should prepare for about a day and a half of inability to drive. This approximately-steady-state forecast has now been going on for five days now. I also enjoyed a 7.5 hour unforecasted power outage for good measure; apparently quite a few power plants here were plumbed in the expectation that 6F temperatures never happen (?). But at least it should all be over in about a day and a half now, because today the weather forecast reassures me that tomorrow it will be clear and somewhat above freezing. It follows that by around late tomorrow afternoon the roads are likely to be drivable. Yay! Or maybe someone has messed up the aerosol fudge factor again…
