Why do squirrels hate America? We need a constitutional amendment against them.

Squirrels are the real Nazis! Those little peanut fascists!

No, no, no!! Squirrels are just misdirected, lonely little creatures craving social acceptance. They need treatment centers and love. Lots and lots of love.

Won't somebody think of the children!!

Daddy's Squirrel Stew

~ 3 squirrels, quartered
~ Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning
~ 2 strips bacon, cut up
~ 1/2 stick butter
~ 1 onion, chopped
~ 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
~ 2 bell peppers, chopped
~ 2 stalks celery, chopped
~ 3 potatoes, cubed
~ 5 cups water
~ 1/4 cup burgundy wine

Rub the creole seasoning liberally over the squirrels.

In a dutch oven, melt the butter. Add the bacon.

Add the squirrel to the dutch oven and brown evenly. Remove.

To the dutch oven, add the onion, garlic, peppers and celery. Saute until the veggies are soft.

Add the meat back to the pot along with the water and potatoes. Stir together.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally.

Remove the squirrel pieces. Cool and debone.

Return meat to the pot. Stir in the wine. Heat to boiling again then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

Serve over biscuits or toast.

Enjoy.

Shady - The children - Good point - Can you use them in stew too?

How fast can you drive? I'll share my recipe for Jon Beignets if you're good. A good brunch pastry for high altitude cooking.

Gawd I hate squirrels! Not real fond of children either 0_0

I really am the only person who truly loves both squirrels and plants aren't I?

I just got a new cat and he thrills me because he looks just like a squirrel! Same tail and everything!

I highly recommend this book: linked at the bottom.

Although i don't care for children at all. ;)
