I'm brining a rabbit, to use on Wednesday. Anyone have
suggestions/faves for preparing a bunny? I could do a
_hassenpfeffer_ or the like (e.g Julia's _lapin au
saupiquet_), but what else have youse guys tried that
you like?

I usually do the rabbit with cream and leeks and tarragon.

Sometimes I even use chicken.

Hmm, that sounds attractive, but cream is probably out

As long as you don't eat it on a daily basis, an occasional egg, cream
dish, fatty dish, will not affect your health. It's a temporal
phenomenom, along with other complex factors that are not well understood.

Now for those that suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes, a meal
with a large sodium load and carbohydrate load, will produce bad outcome
respectively.

Drink red wine in moderation, walk, and be cheerfull. Those, from my
observations, are the key to long life : )

I have an idea. Get rabbit. Why push people's buttons with the

Lots of garlic (say a whole head of it, separated into cloves, peeled and
crushed). Roll in flour seasoned with salt & pepper. Heat oil in a large
skillet and brown the rabbit pieces. Add the garlic and fry with the rabbit
for a few minutes to release the aromatics but not brown the garlic. Stir
in a good glass full of dry white wine or sherry. Cover the pan and simmer
on VERY low heat about 40 minutes until the rabbit is tender. Remove the
cover and cook another 10 minutes to reduce the sauce a bit.

I haven't tried it, but you could rub with oil, season with salt,
pepper, herbs, etc, add some vegetables, and cook it in a parchment
pouch.

Then you could call it Lapin a Le Candidate Democratique.

Greg Zywicki

No, seriously, you could really cook it this way. And If you wanted
Lapin a Le
Senator Senior, you'd have to stew it.

Thank you. I was not trying to push any buttons,
actually -- just attempting a wry acknowledgment that
such buttons exist (but tone is very difficult to convey
on the net; sigh).

Adorable, baby rabbits, what wine goes with that?

Sorry, Michael, but you just admitted to pushing buttons. All I
said was, if you meant rabbit, there was no need to say bunny. Or
Bambi, or puppy or kitty cat/whatever.

I wasn't being nasty. Just saying. Rabbit.

I quoted the entire thread because I wanted to see where Nancy
complained that you offended *her*. She didn't. Why not accept
that she has a valid point without trying to get the last, rude
word?

FWIW, the title didn't really bother me, but I can see how it
could upset others. Why go looking for a fight on Usenet? They'll
usually come right to you...

Michael, you admitted in writing that it might push some people's
buttons. It's here for all to read. I don't mind a wry sense of
humor, it's my favorite. But you admit in writing that you
said bunny on purpose knowing it would bother some people.

Okay, if you're making rabbit, say so. If you are referring to your
spouse, do not say Hubby or The wife. Don't come out of nowhere and
yell WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH FOOD. Stop responding to trolls.

I'm a July crab person, so I am sure the list is much longer. Well,
my list of stuff that makes me smile or laugh is much much longer.
Don't write me off yet, but try to see both sides.

Sigh. I tried to offer an oblique apology, and Nancy jumped
all over me. If she was _not_ offended, then her initial
response seems to have been a bit otiose; why take offense
on the part of some (unspecified) other? I am not trying to
pick fights, but if she is determined to find me offensive,
then so be it -- I am not going to turn myself into a prissy
twit just to satisfy her.
