Jenny dropped in for lunch

While we were sprucing up the patio furniture today, our furry friend Jenny dropped in for lunch.  If Penny were here, our friend Jenny might have been lunch.  So for Penny, here's a tasty sounding squirrel recipe:

Squirrel Casserole
4 Squirrel; quartered
4 Ham slices; very thin
4 md Onions; thinly sliced
4 Carrots; thinly sliced
4 lg Potatoes; thinly sliced
4 sl Bacon
4 oz Apple cider
4 tb Flour
Salt and pepper
Water
Rub the squirrels with salt and pepper. In the bottom of an earthenware casserole with a tight lid, arrange the slices of ham, then a layer of squirrel, then a layer of onion, a layer of carrot, and a layer of potato. Continue building up layers, seasoning each with salt and pepper until casserole is filled. Arrange slices of bacon across the top. Add the cider. Place the lid on the casserole and seal it with a paste made of flour and water.
Place the casserole in a 250-degree oven for 3 hours.

I am glad Jenny has come back after Penny pushed her away with her territorial tendencies! Penny would love squirrel casserole, although I am pretty sure she'd take squirrel in any form!

P.S. did you get a new camera? Your wildlife photos are great!
