You're right, living around hunters makes a difference. We always have venison when we visit Steve.C.

And it does not taste like chicken.<BR/>Why do people say that?<BR/><BR/>Besides the usual beef, pork, poultry, and mutton, I've also had squirrel (taste like rabbit), quail, pheasent, duck, goose, goat (I make a great goat stew), alligator (chewy), venison, frog legs (not great), buffalo, and all manner of fresh and sea water fish and shellfish. My dad had recipes for bear, moose, and snake, among others! That's what happens when you grow up in a hunting family. Anything that can be eaten, will be eaten.<BR/><BR/>Had any long pig lately? 8-\CLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18348533141508294220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944798.post-77475300691014403982008-01-13T17:48:00.000-05:002008-01-13T17:48:00.000-05:00Kate, possum is the least offensive recipe in the ...Kate, possum is the least offensive recipe in the entire cookbook....how about some fried cooter?

Jane is nothing if not decided. I think the happy tableau speaks to the current romanticism of the "happy family" -- and an almost Victorian neglect of Jane's passionate nature. She wasn't mooning about Rochester because she wanted a yuppie dream -- she wanted <I>him</I> and she wanted him badly.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever seen "Jane Air-head" on SCTV? Silly, but worth a giggle just for the always brilliant Andrea Martin (and Jack Benny's "Rochester"). She and Catherine O'Hara ought to have statues put up in their honor -- they're just so funny.C.
