We had a little roof problem when we first bought this house and needed to evict the squirrels. I cannot <em>imagine</em> hunting squirrel, skinning it and preparing it for dinner under current circumstances! Still, the section on "Game" is my favorite part of my copy of "The Joy Of Cooking". Can you believe they have a recipe for Boar's Head? I understand they cut that section and many of the silly stories out of the more recent versions of the book and sales are down. :( I’ve trapped squirrels– but to eat for dinner.

I love that middle: step and peeeeeeeeel. Next thing you'll see is pattern requests all over the Knitlist for mini-ponchos for skinned squirrels and little skinned squirrel cozies. The outrage over Simple Knit Squirrel Covers will sweep the knitting world. Good golly I need me a Joy of Skinnin’ Squirrel T-shirt.

Hmmmm...that would require trapping a squirrel, taking measurements and adding pull down menus to either the <a href="http://www.thedietdiary.com/knittingfiend/poncho/PonchoSlimHK.html" rel="nofollow">doll poncho</a> or the <a href="http://www.thedietdiary.com/knittingfiend/poncho/PonchoSMWFShort.html" rel="nofollow">machine knit ponchos.</a> I think a squirrel poncho should be knit in fun fur, don't you?
