Did you not eat the hare you got when you went hare hunting?

I've never had a bad tasting hare, them that don't like it surely don't know how to cook. Lots of the ones that are killed are the young of the year for the old ones know all the tricks and usually leave for parts unknown when they've had enough. Rarely do I see pics of big hare, I've only seen a handful of the big ones myself. One year when I was hunting with the boys from WV, Va.& ky. , I seen one I thought was one of the hounds coming through the tree line, only when it crossed a small opening into the field did I see it was a hare, and my buddy Marshall was in the way for a shot, but that one dumped the hounds on some younger ones and left out and we never got back to get on him again.

The only thing I do different on hare is cut the rear leg off at the knee or else it won't fit in the skillet...

You guys all gave him some good advice and I was wondering when the mashed taters and biscuits were gonna come into the picture. If ya had them froze up til it got warm some greens would go good with all the above. Be very careful if you add the flour right into the hot skillet as it will burn pretty easily and it will get lumpy if you dump it in all at pne time. gradually add the flour as you stir it around and around and do the same when adding the milk. Patch, you know my wife is working out of town so I got to cook every night BUT come to think of it I have always cooked in the 36 years we have been married. That girl came from the south and couldn't boil water but man she sure will eat whatever I cook and clean up the mess. I cook meals every night and post the pics on Fb so she has to eat her heart out. Hey when you get old you got to keep em addicted somehow!

I like to cook, I just don't like clean'n up the mess...

Now Ken, don't get these fellers all disheartened if they can't cook, the one other sure-fire way to keep a woman comin back home is to be a able to give a good back rub. I've had four women in my life, from my grandmother down to my daughter and they aint one of them don't like a good back rub after picking beans or strawberries all day.
When I was little, I'd stay with my grandma on weekends and help in the yard and garden. She'd spend hours out in the garden morn and evening, I still got her old bonnet that she wore that was her mama's. We'd weed and pick beans, then come to the house and break them during the heat of the day under the shade tree and she'd start to canning. Well each night she'd give me a nickle to rub her back and shoulders, she always said it was worth a quarter but a nickle was all i ever got. When I got enough money from all the mowing and bean picking, she'd take me to the five-n-dime store in town and I'd buy some candy and one of them little green turtles to carry in my pocket.
Looking back, it's amazing how we had time to do all the things we did back then.

Man Im hungry now...

[S.R.Patch]

I fried some bacon this morning and that grease in the skillet was sure looking good for some gravy but I'm gonna save it for supper tonight.
My mama had a can with a removable strainer and lid that we always drained grease off into for using later. Bacon grease for frying and over wilted lettuce...yum yum

[warddog]

Patch,
I got one of them old bacon grease containers under the stove right now! My granny used to spend hours as well out in the yards picking greens and I'd tag along to help. can't remember them all now but she used to say one has to have a mix of them and all I every really knew was dandelions but if I remember there were several kinds that went into the mix something like doc, mustard, white top but I don't remember nothing but how good they were with that bacon grease over them. I also remember how bad her ole cough remedy of butter and Alum was!

[S.R.Patch]

My grandma used to make up a mustard pack when we got the croup, don't know what was in it but was wraped in a rag and she pinned it around our neck at night.
They used to have all kinds of awful tasting, awful smelling concoctions to put in and on us as kids...
I guess the theory was, what didn't kill ya made ya stronger...

The slurry method is what I use! Never burns the flour
