Other than that, it's been a good day.

First thing I did this morning was mop up rabbit blood from the bottom of the fridge.

O.o

I hope the rabbit was all ready dead...?

[moggets.livejournal.com]

If not then I have an image of a rabbit injured and bleeding accidently getting shut in the fridge!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Dead. In pieces. Thawing. In a leaky bag.

But cleaning rabbit blood out of one's fridge makes for the funniest of nonsequiturs, don't it. ^_^

I assume you're going to be eating said rabbit soon...? :) I've never had rabbit, although my husband has. It's hard to get in this area and I've never seen it at a supermarket.

This will be the first time I've ever tried cooking one. Am torn between hasenpfeffer and skillet-frying.

[delfeus.livejournal.com]

It's really good! My brother hunts and some other relatives do, too, so I've eaten my share. :)

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Hm... that's not your usual way of disciplining plot bunnies sent away to cool down, is it? ;)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

HA! Oh, see, that's why I put up posts like this, because someone will have the BEST comebacks. :D

[christwise.livejournal.com]

Um.

Did your dog do some grocery shopping for you?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

No, just me. But it was time to thaw the thing and cook it. ^_^ We'll see how it comes out.

[laurelwood.livejournal.com]

Ours wasn't leaking blood, so I just topped off his water and fed him a nice cilantro salad.

Beloved pets aside, I've always wondered how rabbit tastes. Report back with a recipe review, won't you?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I've had hasenpfeffer and it's delicious, but I'm not sure I trust my ability to duplicate hasenpfeffer. *goes back to google more recipes*

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

It's strong, there's a distinct gamey flavor. It's not bad, but I prefer milder-tasting meat. It's odd, because it looks a lot like chicken, and then you bite into it and it's...not. It's not at all bad, just different.

[ruthannereid.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. O_O

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

There will be rabbit dinner in a day or so. ^_^

[emeraldjay.livejournal.com]

I was having visions of Fatal Attraction for a moment.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

YES. As I eyed the puddle of bloody thaw-juice, I grabbed paper towels and muttered, "I'm cleaning up effing rabbit blood. What is this, Fatal Attraction?"

[rexluscus.livejournal.com]

Ah, I've had days like that. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I swear. What's my life coming to?

[capri-chan.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of a story my grandmother told me. Apparently, her father would catch rabbits on the way to or from work, and he'd bring it home, and she'd pet it and love it and hug him, and squeeze him and call him George, and then she'd leave to...I dunno, go to school or visit a friend or something. That night, the rabbit would be gone and they had "chicken." Then one day, she was visiting her grandmother, and her grandmother asked her mom about dinner, and her mom said, "Oh, it was nice. Victor caught a rabbit last night," and my grandmother overheard and said, "I ate a bunny?! You told me that was chicken!" And for years afterward, she refused to eat chicken. XD

Also reminds me of that one Bugs Bunny cartoon with the king going, "WHERE'S MY HASENPFEFFER?"

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I don't know any American my age who hears the word "hasenpfeffer" and doesn't think of that Bugs Bunny episode. :D

[gmth.livejournal.com]

Well. That was unexpected.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Even if it was me who put it there to thaw, I mean, who knew the freezer bag had a leak in it? I ask you.

[sulky-rhino.livejournal.com]

O_O Umm, why? :o

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Frozen rabbit. Left to thaw on bottom shelf of fridge. Freezer bag had hole in it. ^_^

[tsuj.livejournal.com]

oh, sad. *sniff*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing that those who raised it treated it humanely before they butchered it and sold it frozen to me. ^_^

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

This sounds like a great opening line for...well, for anything really. Or one of those odd comments one hears on an elevator.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, and apparently I've stopped dreaming about bethbethbeth and replaced her with you and fabularasa.

See you in my dreams!

[delfeus.livejournal.com]

Well, at least it wasn't human. ;)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

That's always an upside to the day! :D

Totally had this image of the dead rabbit hanging from the rafters, which we find out about in HBP.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ah ha ha ha! (It didn't turn out too bad except I cooked it too long. Better luck next time!)

[rectpropagation.livejournal.com]

I clicked on the comments link totally expecting an explanation to appear as if the comments link was actually a cut tag. "Surely there is an explanation," I thought.

Had the answer not been in the comments I might have asked if you'd relocated to the Hell Mouth or if you had Gozer in your 'fridge.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Well, I admit it would have made me giggle! :D
