That’s great news. I am so looking forward to the day when you get to taste a vine-ripened tomato that you grew all on your own!

Do you know how to clean squirrel. IIRC they are pretty tasty fried, with some red-eye gravy.

Remember I am really old. My father used to bring squirrels home and I don't know where he found them to shoot them - I don't remember shooting squirrels around our house anywhere.

He fried them and I surely ate them but don't remember how they tasted. Pretty sure we would have had gravy with them. But, the thing that I had real trouble with, was when he cracked the skull and ate the brains. When I heard that skull crack, I did not look as he ate.

He also went frog hunting and remember eating frog legs. Both my parents grew up on farms in Arkansas. They came to Texas to work in the east Texas oil field, and I was born in Texas. He made good money but we still ate squirrels and frog legs.

I suppose one guts the squirrel and peels off the skin. I would think dip in milk, then flour, and fry.
