Yikes!

At Faith’s behest, I was going to post about the scare over contaminated [tag]squirrel[/tag] meat being over in [tag]New Jersey[/tag]. I did a google search and came across this article in the New York Daily News Food section, “Squirrel and other ‘weird meats’ get gourmet makeover.” Our long national squirrel nightmare is over.

New Jersey had warned consumers near Ringwood months ago to limit squirrel consumption after the feds believed they had found lead in a dead squirrel. It turned out to be a false reading. At fault was a defective blender used to puree the squirrels.

Despite the fact that this article had a link to [tag]weirdmeat.com[/tag], it wasn’t nearly as interesting as the beauty that came up next in my search results: “New Jersey Squirrel Sets Car on Fire.”

Have a nice weekend, but watch out for the squirrels, people. They are up to noooo good.

    I’m going to email Martha and ask for squirrel recipes. If anyone can do it, Martha can.

    Yes, I had too much to drink at the rehearsal dinner.

    When you invoke Martha, I check one more box off on my “impending apocalypse checklist” on the refrigerator (part of the “Prepare Your Family for the Apocalypse kit” Martha Stewart Living, March 2000)
