when Mrs. AR makes a "tuti-fruiti rabbit" for dinner...

Could I get that recipe, please?

I had gotten permission to raise rabbits in the backyard, but today I found out dad lied. Again. After much arguing and sulking (he's good at the sulking part) we settled on getting me a new slingshot for the bigger rabbits outside (my old one vanished 10 years ago), and the vague promise that maybe, someday, if he decides he meant it this time, I might be allowed to build my rabbit pen. I wanted it today because my cat managed to bring a young rabbit to me uninjured. Good kitty!

One of the farmers near my land has a new building going up that look suspiciously like an apartment complex. I might be better off living there instead of at home while my house is being built.

Sorry, that turned into more of a rant than I expected.

It was one of her famous Guess This Mess dishes.

It was basically rabbit pieces, coated with Panko crumbs with Old Bay seasoning and garlic powder added, fried low & slow.

She used cooked down apricot puree; some of our wild plums that I made into a plum sauce (Again, no recipe; sorry. I often look up several on the Net, then combine elements to suit our fancy.) last year; some chopped apple (first of this season) and left over juice & medium syrup left over from canning the cherries a couple weeks ago, mixed and partially cooked to blend flavors. The amounts were dictated by what was on hand, and combined by seat of the pants.

Once the rabbit was turned, and almost done, the fruit concoction was poured over it, and it was allowed to slowly simmer about a half hour.

Sorry we can’t be more specific. To paraphrase a carpenter who once told me about worrying I may ruin some expensive wood, “don’t worry about it; just go for it—it’s only food! As long as you take it easy, and use common cooking sense, it’ll come out fine.”

There went your neighborhood............Nothing good ever comes about when farmland is developed.
