Probably more of a myth. The most common cases are probably fraternity hazings. Like the one where new pledges are fed English food.

My neighbors were neither imbecils, illiterate or poor. Actually just the opposite. but hunters who still use what the land offers. They taught me.

How long can squirrell be frozen for and still be safe to eat? @hearlady Is it years? I have two frozen hamburgers for a year and a half and I'm afraid to eat them.

Give these poor burgers a proper funeral. We never had to freeze squirrel as there was a high demand for stew. I traded it for manual labor I could not do such as pulling stumps when the tow chains were too heavy to lock when SO was not available.

I never have either.

I did have a bison burger at Ted Turner's place.

What's that? The garbage or grill?

I just meant that it is nowhere near as common as people who live elsewhere may think.

CURSES! What if I say please? Can you decide? I consider you to be sensible.

I cook up the frozen old meat & mix with the dog food.

Do you have cat,,, Pepper?

IF so break up the old meat as it cooks.

My herbs disregard the news and continue to flourish.

Dilettante - where is elsewhere besides most of the US:>)
You might be surprised who hunts for food in the US.

I've had burgers that long, and they'd been fine.. as long as they're in the deep freeze and not in the ice box of the fridge...they should be ok

I'm not keen on Bison burgers..or kangaroo or Ostrich, simply because they're 100 % protein, and no fat.. and fat is what gives meat it's flavour. so those meats are too gamey for me

If squirrels were good eating I'm sure they'd be regulated here.

my son a few yrs back was invited to squirrel stew dinner in a Thailand wood glade! and seemed to enjoy it?

I feel like you do laundry 24/7! You need a break from it.

Actually, I usually do two or three loads on Thursdays. What I've got now is a basket full of clothes to fold . It's not my favorite job...


Oops. Typed a reply hours ago and forgot to post it. Old person brain fart...

I'm done in the garden for now. It's 84F and way too hot. I've even been wearing my straw hat.

DD took me to the other garden center. Got plants that don't flower for pots; they're for contrast among the flowers.

I ran out of primer so the potting bench has to wait until I can get to Home Depot again. Maybe Saturday because it needs to get done and dry before our next rain (Sunday).

I will personally will be cutting back on my 'stuff' purchases somewhat. Savings, food, rent & utilities will take precedence for the moment. I also quit driving 2 years ago. I'll have to start watching more minor expenses as time goes on. Our auto insurance provider requires that my wife carry me on her policy even though I gave up my license. Little things like that will matter. I therefore will be auto insurance shopping within the next 6 months. I think I'll table my streaming plan again for awhile.

People eat squirrels... apparently in the Southern US they're very popular on the dinner table

Squirrels are rodents, just like mice and rats. Thinking about it though, I guess we do eat rodents like rats. Isn't rat the main ingredient of ratatouille?

I know squirrels are rodents ''rats with tails'' which is why I'm so surprised people eat them...

Our drive in the country, with daughter and her Corgi (Abbi), turned out to be a nice day, albeit very windy!
We went to Uxbridge, to the dairy for ice cream. Abbi got her own free pup-cone, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

Abbi is 9, and slowly showing her age. She and I share the backseat .. most of the time, with her standing on my thighs with her head out the window. When she gets tired, she lays down beside me, and rests her face on my arm, closing her eyes. It melts my heart.

I use to live in Uxbridge.. on the RAF camp when we were in the military...... not the Canadian one obviously, I didn't even know there was one in Canada....

I was up early around 4am, so went outside to look at the stars and Milky Way w my coffee. Watched the groomers up on the mtn getting the place ready for skiers.

On to a workout at the gym, then the chiro and then the grocery store for meat. Had a convo w the accountant to change some things on the tax return due in 10 days or so. Also tried to digest the economic news of the day and then took a 1 hr nap, and now making dinner.

We had a bit of excitement yesterday as our daughter and boyfriend made a deposit on a female yellow lab that was born this past Saturday! I'm so happy for them and of course it's another sign they'll get married in the next year or 2, which I'd be thrilled with.

They prescribed amatriptyline. It works for me. Pain level drops about 4 to 5 notches. It is to early to figure out the best way to use it, but I think it's a keeper for the tool box.
