More great recipes

I know everyone is excited about the Raccoon on a Stick recipe so I thought I would post a salad recipe and a dessert today.

Grilled Armadillo Tossed Salad

Harvest an armadillo. (I would suggest you avoid getting a road killed armadillo since the shells tend to be cracked and don't hold the sauce and salad so well.)
Pick some lamb's quarter. (Leaves only, the stalks are waaaay to woody.)
For the really adventurous soul, fresh spinach is a nice touch. (Ecoli is just an urban myth.... besides, grilled armadillo will knock out any little virus that might kill off the faint of heart.)
Grab manderin oranges too.

Dress out your armadillo. Set the now empty shell aside to wash and bleach later. Wash the meat, filet the meat off the bone and grill over a nice heap of mesquite coals. When the meat turns white, take it off the grill, slice it into manageable bites and set aside on a paper towel.

Wash your salad greens. Peel and seperate manderin orange wedges. Mix all of them together in a bowl. Pour on a healthy heaping of your favorite vinegarette sauce, add armadillo, and mix until there is a nice shiny coat to all of it.

Hopefully you have taken the time to wash the shell and let a little bleach water set in it. Rinse thoroughly, wash again, rinse again, coat inside of the shell lightly with olive oil. Take your salad fixings and set them inside the shell. Set the shell in the middle of the table so all of your folks can oooh and aaaah at the festive edible centerpiece.

Dessert time folks, I'm thinking pecan pie.

Pecan Pie

Pick up pecans from underneath the trees.
Shell pecans.
Munch on pecans while shelling.
Share shelled pecans with other family members.
Realize you have eaten all of the pecans.
Trot down to your local bakery and purchase a pecan pie.
Serve with coffee.

Easy, huh?

Tomorrow I'll be bringing you some of the more festive side dishes for Thanksgiving. You won't want to miss it!
