exploring new mammals

So, today we made hasenpfeffer. I found lots of recipes, but this one looked tasty. We replaced the pork with turkey, for allergy reasons, and added extra fat (palm shortening). We also used leeks instead of onions/shallots because--hey! we had leeks.

I wasn't thinking and did dredge the meat in (sweet rice) flour. No point in dredging meat--just sear it. *sigh* I made my beurre manié with mochiko.

It turned out really well, but rabbit is rather labor intensive. I think I'll use chicken thighs next time. I might make the beurre manié with potato flour, too, as it thickens more quickly.

But damn . . . this is nice and rich. It would be insanely delicious with venison and too-rich-for-my-palate with beef.

So, here's to our wovewy wabbit fwicasée!

Dead rabbit looks WAY too much like dead cat for my tastes.

I'm glad it was good, though!

I think the name changes to Hühnerpfeffer with chicken.

Where does one get juniper berries this time of year? ;-)

Whole Foods or the local co-op, though xiane often has a stash. I used to hit her up for them when I wanted some.

In other words, they're part of my spice/herb cabinet.

You ate BUNNY!!! I'm going to sic bunny-ghosts on you to piss on the floor and hump your leg.

Seconded. When I was a kid I had bunnies as pets. I can't get my head around the idea of bunnies for dinner.

Taste is directly proportional to cute.

SCIENCE FACT!

So this blog I read was nominated for an award. While perusing the list I came across this blog which I thought might interest you if you do not already read it. It at least has some interesting links, one of which was this, which again, you may already read. If not, thought I would mention it.

What a random comment! Wherever did you find me?

#2020 (all purpose)
#2045 ball point (yellow band) for sewing knits and stretch fabrics
#2025 twin needle for decorative twin-needle stitching

The bobbins are the hard thing to find in many areas. They take the transparent drop in bobbin #172336. JoAnn's has some (Singer, even!) that claim to fit, but don't. I had to find a Singer repair shop to purchase extra bobbins.
