Today was pleasantly surprised to find that one of our local
purveyors of things that formerly grazed, crawled, flew or
swam had received a small shipment of bunrabs.

Bought one, but then couldn't find my old recipe for
ssour cream rabbit with herbs, AFAIK originally
published in a Marlin Firearms catalog back during
theh '70's or '80's. A little diligence on the keyboard
produced the following.

The dish is a keeper. Petit syrah goes well,, as well
as some French loaves on the side.

Tip: If you have only one rabbit, you can half the recipe
or make one chicken, through the grace of God, become
the other rabbit. It works.
