i ran over a squirrel today

[Ice]

oh god, what if it comes back as a person then it kills me?

This is the most likely scenario.

Squirrels are just furry tailed rats. Don't think too much about it.

And to all the Brits, chances are it was a gray squirrel, not a red. Destructive rodents, that's all they are.

If you meet this one better take your chances with the 18 wheeler.

This is the most likely scenario.

I hoped you scraped it off your wheel?

Squirrel Sauce Piquante

2 Squirrels

1 cn Tomato sauce (8 oz.)
Cooking oil
3 Med. onions, chopped

Rub squirrels with salt, black and red pepper. Put oil in heavy iron pot 1/4" deep. Brown squirrels on all sides and remove from pot. Lower fire to med. heat and saute onions, bell peepper and flour in remaining oil until brown. Place squirrels back in pot, add enough water to cover meat. Add tomato sauce. Cover and simmer on low fire 1 1/2 to 2 hrs., or until tender.

Most squirrels are nasty. They're not much better than rats, but for some reason they look cute.

Squirrels also have a pronouced, unpleasant odor. There were some living in my fathers chimney and they were removed. The smell was terrible. If anyone has ever gotten a good smell of a ferret, the scent is similar, just alittle stronger.

Merlot, or Chianti?

Merlot, or Chianti?

That's a good question. Normally I'd say a Chianti is Italian pi...erm, might drown the subtle taste of squirrel. Like rabbit, the taste is easily overpowered. But since we are preparing the squirrel spicey - much of it's soft texture having been lost by running it over, so a more robust preparation is in order - a stronger wine might not be inappropriate. Worth a try!

Squirrel would probably go better with moon shine!! Squirrel is a dish best served cold!!! :)

[Centurion1]

squirrel is best in a stew........ yum (yes it is actually somewhat good if you prepare it right). rabbit is better however.

Maybe a zinfandel?

I think they had squirrels on a stick in Fallout 3?

A nice full bodied red would be my choice. A bergundy perhaps. Or you could eschew convention all together and plump for a nice dry white. If so, a sautern would be acceptable.

Gotcha (good point) - MD2020 makes picking out the bits of asphalt a fun occupation, instead of a drudgery chore.

I don't think Bullwinkle (sp.) would approve of your jests or appetites! He would be :( not :)
