Hey, be grateful the dog didn't bring back something worse...like a politician.
Don't them possums look pretty.
|
|
|
I remember I once left my front door open and a fucking roadrunner ran right thru the front and out the back.
As he ran thru, he was screeming about Trump, Muellur, Sessions, Cohen and all kind of political shit.................................I have a rather big house.

(startin to sound like Dirty Cat...not a good look)

If it had been a politician, I am pretty sure it would have been eaten by my dog.
|
|
|
Fair and balanced since 2019

|
|
Ewwww.... if he eats a politician, I’m never letting him give me kisses again!

Skin and bone the possum (use only the best meat for the casserole, ie: the strip loins and hind quarters, cubed).
Reserve the carcass and trimmings for stock.
In a heavy pan, heat the clarified butter and oil.
Saute onion and garlic.
When onion is clear, remove to casserole.
Dust the cubed possum with flour and brown in batches.
Add to casserole.
Melt a little more clarified butter and saute bacon and mushrooms.
Remove to casserole De-glaze pan as necessary with red wine- add this to casserole together with herbs, ground pepper, tomato puree, beer and marsala.
Stir, cover and cook in slow oven for 2-3 hours, adding more possum stock if necessary.

You think that's bad? Well, last night, my neighbor's boxer came into my yard and stole my pet possum! He tried to bring my possum home with him, but luckily, she managed to escape somehow.

Lamar, Ima gunna take a wild guess and say you were poor growin up. Yes?
Squirrel was reserved for special meals?

Gotta LOVE those Boxers! I LOVE mine!

@ocavguy
lucky for you it was not the boxer/pitty mix who did this. She would broken hearted if she didn't get to lick you.
@Lamar - NO NO NO NO NO. There is no way. The way a possum looks just makes me want to run and scream.

@Mrdankim78 - I am feeling better now. A hot shower and a good scrubbing. Now I just have to get that image out of my head.
XOXO

@Al_Most_Perfect
Whew, for a moment I thought I was your neighbor, and you were going to come after me. My dogs have learned to jump my 6ft fence at times.

|
|
@Phyre, why? Because he will try anything? lol
|
|
|
@Phyre, I know. BUT he should know me better, and realize I HATE possums.
|
|
|
haha! I know, it is kinda funny. But it is so gross.
|

Your dog was just trying to contribute. Food is the one thing you constantly give your dog and Your dog is like why don't I bring home the bacon for once...
I had a collie golden retriever mix that would do the same thing except it would be dead gophers.
|
|
|
I wish he would bring me a NEW president.

LMFAO @ Lamar

teeitup I trap possums and squirrels in my yard all the time and release them up in the mountains
off Azusa Canyon. If you want to drop by for lunch I can hold on to a couple of them and try either mine or betterb1's recipe.

^^^Uhhhh, I'll pass. But if it were gopher, I love me some gopher.
|
|

they do make a tasty pie, a lot more flavor than a scrawny road runner

Possums don’t carry rabies so you and your dog are safe from that disease. They look like big rats but are actually Marsupials.

I prefer kangaroo, more meat

The Thanksgiving Raccoon That Became a Presidential Pet.
In November 1926 President Calvin Coolidge pardoned a live animal intended for his Thanksgiving dinner and adopted it as a pet. This was no turkey, however, but a raccoon. While raccoon might seem an odd menu choice to grace the White House dinner table these days, the Washington Evening Star thought the strange part of the story was that the president didn't want to chow down on the woodland critter. Declaring raccoon meat less fatty than possum.

You know the last time I cared about Coolidge? Calvin or Rita...

@jammerman - I know, I checked that out immediately. It was my #1 concern.

Black bear is good
Cottontail
Dog is popular in part of orange county
Sandhill crane
Some people even eat pig meat. Those are the grossest scavengers of all time.
Sharks fall into the same category yuck. How about some escargot or mussels?

MsMariah my apologies for hijacking your blog but I couldn't resist posting a possum recipe because I'm from Alabama. 
|
|
|
@Lamar,
You did not hijack it, but you did make it very entertaining. I thank you for that, since it was not making me laugh when it happened.
XOXO
