Rabbit stew, anyone?



This is what I found at Trade Day up at the fairground today. We have an old fashioned farmer's market every Monday AM at the Graves County Fairground. Since we're going to start raising meat rabbits for the freezer, this is the 3rd doe we have. I named her Penny, after her mama. She looks exactly like a wild rabbit. She's 4 weeks old. The other rabbits are: (little bunny) FuFu, Jack (Rabbit), Esa (Rabbit) I went there looking for veggies because I'm in the mood for canning and the garden isn't coming in fast enough. I found the pan because I wanted something other than an electric french fry pan and found this one. The people I bought the rabbit from didn't have a box to put Penny in, so I just held out the pan. The guy thought it was a riot, told a bunch of people standing there who were snickering that the pan didn't have any water in it so it was OK, put the rabbit in the pan, I put the lid on and off we went, browsing through the rest of the vendor's stands. Everyone who saw her thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen, a rabbit in a pan. It didn't stop there. I took her up to the hardware store in town looking for some things and didn't want to leave her out in the heat in the truck, so she went into the store with me...in the pan. She rode in the cart, in the pan, quite well.
Have a happy day!

Hi Folks! My name is Candy and I have been married to my best friend, my one true love, Steve, for 11 years now. We are a combined family with 7 grown kids and 14 grandbabies. Our children are all over the US; Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii. We are proudly owned and operated by an ever growing menagerie of animals: parrots, parakeets, cockatiels and cockatoos, dogs, cats, chickens, and 2 rabbits. We have a huge garden in the summer, planted fruit trees and grape vines last year, can food from the garden, sew, quilt and make our own soap. Needless to say, we live in the country, have an avid interest in homesteading and how to make it do-able on a small acreage plot of ground. We've had alot of successes, a couple of near misses and a couple of "really missed the target" in our venture and look forward to sharing them like-minded folks.
