Early evening the thunder storm began just as we were
sitting down on the bolly to eat our lapin
casserôle. Tim was frightened, but then became so interested in the rabbit stew
that he ignored the thunder crashes. Later still the rain started, but it wasn’t
the full on rainstorm we’ve seen here in other years.
I’ve intended to try cooking rabbit for a ong, and finally did so. I followed a recipe in
the Slow Cooker recipe book and marinated the meat in fruity red wine. It turned
purple in colour and looked truly revolting, but frying it improved the colour
to a dark brown – nothing like the photo in the recipe book! How they got it to
be golden brown after a red wine marinade, I have no idea. After four hours in
the slow cooker on the bolly it smelled delicious. We found it very tasty. Not
unlike a meaty chicken, but not as dry.
Farmers were rushing about collecting hay bales while the
thunder crashed. It has rained through the night and today the pool is rather
full and the fields are greening up almost as we watch. I doubt we’ll go far
today, but I should get lots of editing done.
