S-U-C-C-E-S-S That's the way we spell Success. La Dahhhhhh, Mike and Tanna are the best, La Dahhhhhhh - We're better than all the rest...... (am I the only one who remembers this cheer? if you haven't heard it before, please ask me to recite it for you the next time we talk).
So, to the story. The other night, I was bumming around on-line and Mike was doing the dishes (he's a great husband!). All of a sudden a thought pops in my mind."Alfalfa pellets!" I say out-loud.
"What?"
"Rabbits like to eat alfalfa pellets." I explained.
See with the advent of spring around the corner and our crocus and tulips soon to be poking their heads out of the ground, we had been thinking about our bunny situation. They're currently living under our shed - we've seen the burrow and everything. Lots of fertilizer on the snow and plenty of bunny tracks going around (and I'm not talking about ice cream here.) We had been trying all winter to catch the darn things. Frozen carrots are obviously not their thing in the wintertime. So, we thought we'd try a new bait.
On our date night last Friday we went to the pet store to get some rabbit food. On Saturday we put it out. Mike sneakily spread some out and then piled it in the cage. Sunday morning we anxiously looked to see if we caught anything - nothing. So on and so forth. Until this morning!
Here is the proof that we indeed caught a bunny.
The kids thought it was pretty cool. Here is Libby with her first up-close look at one of the little buggers.
So does anyone have a good recipe for rabbit? (just kidding)
And did anyone notice the above font was made up of contorted bunnies?

Good For You!! Now what will Luke chase all summer? Wanda
OK if the bunny didn't become stew, where did he go?
To a bunny fairy funland :) Namely a park far away.
I see Wanda had the same idea I had about bunny stew. Check your crockpot recipes!
Stew is good, but deep fried is much better. Of course you will first have to slay the rabbit (perhaps a pellet gun in the garage with the doors closed?), skin it, and cut off the head, feet, and tail and remove the entrails. Then cut it into 5 chunks (two front legs, 2 back legs, and 1 very tasty back). Toss the chunks with a beaten egg, roll in flour, salt, and pepper and fry until done. Kitchen shears work well for the all the cleaning operations and you'll need to wash off any hair that stuck on during skinning. MMM...better than chicken!
