Squirrel Dumplings
~ 3 squirrels, cut up (All hair and shot removed.)
~ 1 egg
~ 2 cups plain flour
~ 3/4 cup broth
~ 1 teaspoon salt
~ salt and pepper
Boil squirrels in four quarts of water until tender. Remove squirrels from broth, let cool, then remove meat from bones. Set aside.
In large bowl, mix flour, egg and one teaspoon of salt with 3/4 cup of broth and roll into ball.
Strain the broth to remove any stray shot then resume boil. Return meat to boiling broth.
On a floured cutting board, use rolling pin to roll the dough ball to a thickness of 1/16 inch. Cut into 1-inch wide strips and drop strips one at a time into the boiling broth. Gently shake pot after last dumpling is added to prevent sticking.
Cook approximately 10-15 minutes until dumplings are tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
Tree rat appreciation day? When do we celebrate boll weevils? Termites? Black widows?
If you’ve ever had squirrels getting into your house,as I have,this is one day I will NOT celebrate.
Ping! I seem to recall that you just love the little critters. ;)

“So if Sunday you’re free,
Why don’t you come with me,
And we’ll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we’ll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we’re poisoning pigeons in the park.
We’ll murder them all amid laughter and merriment.
Except for the few we take home to experiment.”

'Wish I was back in Texas,
The ocean's no place for a squirrel,
'Wish I was in Texas,
Prettiest place in the world, oh no.
I guess deep in my heart I'll always be a Texas girl
I wanna go hommmme hooommmmmme hommme oh oh
Yoldle ay e oh, yodle ay e oh, yodle ay e oh, a lay-ee, a lay-ee.
I wanna wake up in Texas
I miss those wide open skies.
I miss my 20 acres, bar-b-ques,
And pecan pies, oh why?
When I'm so far from you, Texas, all I can do-o is cry.
I wanna go ho-oome,
Ho-oome, ....I wanna go ho-ome!
Somebody in the neighborhood must be putting out peanuts as I see peanut shells here and there.
As long as they leave my fruit trees alone and don’t mess up the landscaping, I will resist wrist rocketing them with extreme prejudice.
I never roasted ‘em myself but I hear they’re quite tasty.
