Deena,
The entire time I am have trouble - my DH is sitting there saying, "You are so dramatic....." He felt horrible when he heard what the Dr. said.

Kimmar - that sounds yummy - you're hired....!

Liz - it's not a tealite - probably one of those bucket ones!!

Whoa!! Everytime I go away for awhile, ya all run wild!!

I have one of those spatulas Pam's been handing out, BUT I'm NOT scraping up any roadkill.
But I will be glad to look for recipes for Pam and Jeannie to try out.

Elaine, feel better.

Hi Dan.

Possum Sweet Potatoes

1 medium sized possum
3 or 4 medium sized sweet potatoes

Place whole possum in pan and cover with water. Add salt to taste. Cook until tender, then drain off the water. Cover again with water and boil a few minutes longer. Again, pour off the water and cover with more water and boil awhile longer. Pour off water, (this gets rid of the "wild" taste). Have sweet potatoes boiled until tender and salted to taste. Place possum in foil. Arrange potatoes around possum. Wrap and put in oven, 300 degrees for 1 hour. Bon App'etit And you thought possum were just roadkill?

 

[Meriweather]

LOL...this search is kind of "scary"

Possum Recipes

We don't encourage the routine killing of opossum for food. However, it is considered acceptable to cook and eat any possum found lying dead along the road after recently being hit by a car.

Mothman Possum Stew

1 possum, cut-up
1/2 cup oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, sliced
4 carrots, cut in thick slices 8 ounces tomato juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
10 drops Tabasco
salt and pepper to taste
5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced


Brown possum in oil in a dutch oven or heavy skillet. Add all ingredients except potatoes. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add potatoes. Simmer another 30 minutes.

Roasted Sassafras Possum

1 skinned and dressed possum cut-up
3 cups sliced carrots
6 cups onions, quartered
6 cups potatoes, quartered
1 clove garlic minced
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce
3 cups water
salt and pepper

Note: Ramps can be substituted for onions.

Place the cut up possum and vegetables in a ovenproof iron pot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (depending on size of possum).

Please note there is no sassafras in the recipe; it gets its name because in Sassafras, Mason County this is considered an ethnic food.


Coon Hound Possum Gravy

1 fat possum cut-up
cooking oil or grease
flour
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 onion, chopped and sauteed
1/2 cup sherry or home-made wine
pinch of oregano
pinch of rosemary
salt and pepper to taste

Fry possum in large pan or dutch oven. Fish out possum pieces and feed to hound-dog. Add water and stir up crunchies. Thicken with flour and water. Mix remaining ingredients and add to pan. Simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Serve gravy over biscuits.

West Virginia-Mex Possum Stew

1 lean possum cut-up
flour
cooking oil
1 cup chopped onions or ramps
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (4 ounces) hot chili peppers
1 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces red wine
1 can (15 ounces) canned tomato sauce
1 can beef broth

Dredge meat in flour to coat. Brown pieces in hot skillet in cooking oil. Add remaining ingredients. Stir and cover. Reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours stirring occasionally. Serve with cornbread or rice.

Anybody else up for a Chicago trip? On a weekend, I am about an hour away from O'Hare!! I can't wait to meet you. Also, the airport is about 45 minutes from downtown Chicago.. I never understood why they say O'Hare is a Chicago airpot, because it is in Rosemont....not Chicago...but close enough I guess. Anyway, I am marking those dates on my calander!! Oh boy!!

Yep...With the way they raise the phone bills every month I'm about ready to get rid of the internet..

Give us enough notice & we'll take a trip...
We desperately need a mini trip...Middle Feb at the earliest..
