I know right!? It's amazing I didn't order any greens. I usually do. Good to know about the mushrooms and the citrus, maybe all is not lost.

Thanks, everyone. If it had frozen without the added ice pack, I'd have blamed myself for ordering when so cold, but..... I hate complaining so I'll just bite the bullet and hopefully it's mostly usable. The tomatillos were for tonight. Charring might be a good idea so thanks @heidih

Well, I'm not super happy. It's 2 million degrees below zero here--and over a lot of the country--and Imperfect Foods put an ICE PACK in the box. WHY?????? Everything is frozen. Mushroom caps on the far left I was going to stuff for Valentine's Day tomorrow. Maybe they will still be usable. The little mushrooms frozen solid. Limes frozen, tomatillos frozen (are those even salvageable??? I was going to make a salsa for tonight sigh). Little potatoes--half are frozen and after thawing a bit are now mush. The meats are fine sigh.

I hate it that you and others are not happy with Misfits, (knock on wood) I've had good results. My box always ships from Salt Lake City, UT.

Was hungry for a big sandwich again. Really had to scrounge around to find different meats...had some ham in the freezer and a few pieces of salami so that worked. Roasted a young Canadian goose night before last. Probably the last one of the season as it's too dangerously cold to go hunting for the next few days. Scalloped potatoes, breaded tomatoes and @weinoo's celery root salad with it. Rabbit ravioli with roasted green beans last night.

They do look pretty--they actually look like heirloom tomatoes, but I bet they don't taste as good as they look lol.

OMG well I DID order watermelon radishes....I had no idea they were that HUGE!!! LOL I'm dying laughing. I thought they were called that due to their pink color on the inside. I feel dumb 🤣

As mentioned above, I had a bit of rabbit left. Ronnie immediately said I should make ravioli with it. Good idea! I had just enough milk to make some ricotta in the IP yesterday afternoon. Mixed that with diced up rabbit, fresh flat leaf parsley, garlic, salt and pepper, and an egg. Oh and some fresh grated parmesan. Made a sauce using a mushroom broth, mushrooms, garlic, sherry and a bit of cream.

Misfits box yesterday. Was a bit nervous. Wind chills were below zero, but nothing harmed at all in the box. They subbed a few things again. One tiny complaint is when they do that I wish they'd tell me what they sent (I think they are rutabagas??? They are the far right items in the first picture. Kind of look like big turnips too...). The green beans were excellent. Imperfect should be here in a few hours.

That's when you know you're meant to have the FBSO!

Ditto. In fact the phrase I uttered was "You're killing me, smalls".

But but but what's on pages 21 and 24?

You wouldn't even know this was wild, IMO. I didn't....guess I should have. I gave the carcass to the outside cats. I'll do that next time.

Roasted chicken, baby potatoes and bruss. sprouts Wild rabbit Pho last night

I've looked at so many rabbit recipes that my eyes are crossed lol. I really wanted to do a Sichuan rabbit type dish, but I'm missing like three key ingredients....still in an Asian type mood, and having some fresh rice noodles that I had ordered, I thought RABBIT PHO! I first thought I'd pressure cook the rabbit in the pho broth, but after many hours of thinking and looking, I decided to go with @rotuts suggestion of sous vide. I did not want a dry bunny. Sous vide was definitely the way to go. 145F for 90 mins. Got a bit of nice broth...going to be used in my next rabbit creation. Pull apart tender. Just like a deer, a rabbit has a back strap and a tenderloin. I used those pieces (the ones on the top) for the Pho and am saving the rest for later. My bowl before the broth. Ronnie's mid meal 'cause I forgot to get an after broth picture lol. This was excellent. In full disclosure we snacked on a front leg before dinner...melty...delicious good. I don't know why we don't get more rabbits. Would help the lettuce in the garden, too.......

Well, I'm mad at myself. After looking through what was available at Imperfect I had decided to skip this week because I'm getting Misfits. Then I waffled back and forth....then it hit me that it's Valentine's Day this weekend and I wanted some berries. Also, I really wanted more lamb so I got to work filling my cart. Got everything up to the amount of money I am supposed to spend, went back to get the lamb...SOLD OUT . Lesson: just order the dang food when your window first opens lol.

Wow!!! Happy Anniversary!! I've never heard of that site--I just looked it up. Lots of foods there that are on my bucket list. Ronnie told me to lose that site lol.

I meant to ask this a few days ago, but if it's not too nosey, can I ask what a rabbit costs there?

Seeing this wonderful book and the drawings made me think I had something similar...I've dug through a short stack of my stuff, but not all of it yet. I might only be thinking of the following booklet....it reminds me of his type of illustration. No where in the book does it give any credit to who drew it, but it was done in 1924. (excuse the staining...someone must have gotten messy while making their salad dressing lol)

I find it disturbing that the woman on the cover has no shoulders or upper arms lol...... Any rabbit recipes in there?

It's the usual bread that make---in the biggest CSO in the world 🤣

I had bigger plans than what actually happened yesterday (major internet problems that after I worked for three hours and gave up, magically fixed themselves on their own 🙄). I did, however, find a red towel to be festive in support of Ronnie's Chiefs....I guess that didn't help the outcome at all . Little smokies and onion dip with Ruffles. Ribs and potato salad. And a lot of head shaking at the poor playing of the above mentioned team lol.

Oh gosh, he does rabbits in the blink of an eye. Probably 5 to 7 minutes max.

You mean the guts, fur etc? Our outside cats have made themselves a nice little place up in the landing of a big outbuilding that we have. So bits like that go up there for them. Treats for everyone!

But they sure are pretty!
