Yes, I noticed...thought it might have gotten lost amidst all the pints!
First, I called Wild Oats Natural Foods and they had frozen rabbit for $4.99 a pound. Whew! So I got online and found a local meat rabbit producer that sells to a distributor. I called them and found out they were about an hour away...a nice drive out in the country. My husband was willing to take me, so we packed the boys in car and drove way out in the country. It was just beautiful...the sky had huge dark blue clouds hanging in it from the departing storm, but the sun was shining.
Finally we got to the farm and there's this huge barn on the premises. We go in there and the boys went crazy! It was filled with bunny cages! A young lady took the boys and showed them tiny little newborn bunnies, while my husband followed a man down one aisle with a pet carrier. Very discreetly the man selected two "fryers" and they went out to the other side of the barn. My boys didn't even realize Daddy was gone for a while. I stood off to the side and kept an eye on everyone, so my boys woudn't hurt themselves or a rabbit and so if my husband fainted (which he has a history of doing on occassion), I'd be there to go haul him up! :-) I couldn't see much, but the man apparently taught my husband how to butcher the rabbit, and my husband was dressing the second one. We left with two dressed fresh rabbits (which we iced down on the way home) that cost $10 total for approximately 7-8lbs of rabbit.
When we got home, my husband and I cleaned the rabbit up really well and cut it into pieces, all ready to be stewed with herbs tomorrow! The herbs I'm going to use are the ones Sam asks Gollum to get.
" 'A few bay-leaves, some thyme and sage, will do--before the water boils,' said Sam. "
