Your Husband is a hoot! :) That cake is so pretty!

Rabbit and Squirrel are WAY down on my list, though we do eat our own home-grown beef and pork, venison, elk and bear. Beau will be leaving for Canada in a month or so for his annual fishing trip.

He brings back Walleye, Northern, Trout and various (monster size!) panfish.

Mom is ‘at that age’ where she’s turned over all of the holidays to my sister and I. I hosted Easter last year and Christmas this year, so for the first time EVER, our family is going out for Easter Brunch. Reservations are made and the temperature is to be in the mid-70’s, so we may even dine Al Fresco, though NOT Sans Culotte! ;)

I’m looking forward to it. Something new and different. :)

“If you’re like me and averse to eating actual Bunny, “

I’ve no aversion whatsoever. Mom used to cook it. We had a friend who raised them. I don’t recall it having a distinctive flavor though.

This is my Easter recipe, from a friend on Facebook (too bad I can’t post the picture):

It’s that time of year again - the time of year where I remind you to buy hollow chocolate bunnies, cut off their ears, and turn them into shot glasses. You’re welcome. xoxo

RECIPE:
1 shot Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur
1 shot Salted Caramel Vodka
A splash of half and half

I’ve been very busy & haven’t been on the cooking thread much. Happy Easter, All!

One thing we are cooking on Easter is peas. It will be the first time we have ever harvested peas from our garden. (We are rank amateurs at gardening). They actually taste pretty good raw, so I will want to cook them in a way that does not mess with that naturally sweet taste and nice texture. Any ideas?

How cute!

Love the bunny cake! Wishing you and yours a very happy Easter!

Meat rabbits are on my list of things to raise once I move onto my farm.

I’d love to test out different diets and see which one results in the best flavor. There were a couple of times I caught a rabbit in my parents’ backyard, and the meat had this natural sweet flavor, like there was a ton of sugar in the marinade, even though there wasn’t any marinading involved. I would love to know what made that taste, so I can replicate it. I know it wasn’t the rabbit itself, because rabbit meat from the store didn’t have that.

I have a bunch of animal nutrition textbooks to help with the diet plans.

No bunnies on the menu as they have been running across our back yard, being chased by our Swedish Vallhunds. So far, the bunnies have made it to the other side.

This is a variation of Chicken Marbella. We had this for dinner last night. I cut down the brown sugar to about 1 tbsp. Prunes are sweet enough for me.

I served it with Yotam Ottolenghi’s Baked Rice, with fresh asparagus on the side.
