SQUIRREL FRICASSEE

4 servings.

2 dressed young squirrels (2 lbs.)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Pepper
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 - 3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp. grated onion (optional)


Wipe squirrel thoroughly with a damp cloth. Remove any hair and scent glands. Examine carefully to locate imbedded shot and remove with a sharp pointed knife.

Wash thoroughly inside and out in warm water.

Drain well and cut into serving pieces. (Never wash after cutting up.)

Combine salt, pepper, and flour.

Dredge meat and coat well.

Heat shortening in a heavy skillet; brown meat slowly on all sides to a rich brown (about 15 minutes).

Add 1/4 cup of water; cover tightly; reduce heat and simmer gently until tender (about 30 minutes).

Add remaining water as needed.

Squirrel should be very tender when done.

Remove squirrel to a hot platter; cover and keep hot.

Blend any leftover seasoned flour into the fat remaining in skillet.

Add milk gradually and cook until gravy boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Serve at once with squirrel. Add the grated onion for additional flavor, if desired.

Texas death row inmate pulls out eye, eats it

HOUSTON – A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye and told authorities he ate it.

Andre Thomas, 25, was arrested for the fatal stabbings of his estranged wife, their young son and her 13-month-old daughter in March 2004. Their hearts also had been ripped out. He was convicted and condemned for the infant's death.

Can the food really be that bad? Recipe anyone? Ewwwwwwwww

Must have offended him.

Don't remember anything specified about the appropriate method of disposal, however. It's not yet Lent, so even if the Vitreous Humor is classed as a meat that's not a problem ...

[xoxoxoBruce]

Maybe it's more like, give me my kidney or forget about taking me to the cleaners, beyotch. It's a bargaining chip.

Stupid Criminal News

Text messages nab carjacking suspects (CNET

- If texting is dangerous while driving a car, it's downright idiotic while stealing one.

An Ohio man used a friend's cell phone to get back his car, cell phone, and cash, all of which were stolen in a car jacking, according to a local TV report. Alan Heuss was sitting in his running BMW in Columbus on Wednesday when an armed man opened a passenger door, stuck a gun in his face, and made off with his stuff.

After filing a police report, Heuss was meeting with some friends to drown his sorrows when one suggested that they try to contact the thieves by texting Heuss' stolen cell phone.

"He said, 'I'm going to text these guys, I'm going to blow some smoke their way,'" Heuss told the station. "He said, 'I'm going to tell them I've got a bunch of hot chicks, as if I'm texting you, and that we've got some drugs, too.'"

The carjacking suspects fell for the ruse and went to an address sent to them by Heuss' friend just seven hours after the carjacking. But instead of the "hot chick with drugs" they were expecting, they were met with by cops with cuffs.

And to make things easier for the officers, the suspects showed up in the stolen car.

Boss jailed after stabbing employee in bottom with pitchfork
A company managing director has been jailed for a series of violent attacks on an employee, including stabbing him in the bottom with a pitchfork.

Michael Parker lost his temper with Mark Reene and committed five separate assaults, on one occasion attacking him with a chainsaw.

In another incident, the 51-year-old gouged at Mr Reene's eyes and punched him in the face while calling him "thick" and threatening to kill him.

The court heard that the 44-year-old put up with the abuse for six months because Parker threatened to hurt Mr Reene's family if he told anyone about the attacks.

But the final straw came when Parker punched out two of Mr Reene's front teeth and skewered his left buttock with a pitchfork.

Man Punched Dophin!

A snorkeller in Australia has survived a shark attack by punching the predator, forcing it to let go of his leg so he could swim to safety.

We had three shark bites in two days last week. You should see the papers over here. The media is rabid. All sorts of claims such as sharks hunting people, shark plagues and too many more to count.

Shark numbers have increased due to tighter laws surrounding their capture and also some species being declared protected.

Some of these claims by the media and other 'noted authorities' on the subject seem just a bit melodramatic to me.

If these sharks were 'hunting' people, why didn't they kill them? About punching the shark; that's how a lot of people have survived shark attacks. Apparently sharks are just big pussies (or sea kittens as PETA would like us to think)

[TheMercenary]

Yea, the press loves news when Jaws attack. Makes for great reads and sells papers. Did you see the pic of the guys board? That beast was hungry. That board would hang on my wall forever.
