"Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit" April 2007

"Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit"  is supposed to be the first words you utter each month. 

No fooling.  It's good luck. 

Happy April First.  Many kids are looking forward to the Easter bunnies visit in a week.

Is Welsh Rabbit....  something along the lines of Ground Hog Stew I posted a few weeks after Februray 2, 2007 when I thought Buckeye Chuck had let us down? Here's  Welsh Rabbit recipes from the Columbus Dispatch....in January 2007.

Growing up we ate Welsh Rabbit on Friday's.... ours was Campbells Cream of Cheddar Cheese Soup prepared as sauce over the cheapest, non nutritious, white bread money could buy.  Not gourmet... no extra spices, vegtables, etc.   

Welsh Rabbit is a cousin of fondue. I have never been to the Fondue Restaurant at Easton....The Melting Pot.  I wanted to go when it was on High Street... but I was always vetoed... I have only had cheese fondue a few times in my life... I own a fondue pot...I grew up in a two fondue pot family.. but we did mostly beef fondue (moooo)  not cheese.  Bourguignone (?)

The photo above is actually an Artic Hare rather than a Welsh Rabbit and it is complements of Geek Philosopher. Here's hoping we see no more snow this year in Central Ohio, that all the little, local brown bunnies are scampering among the early May flowers during the April showers this year.... I think winter is over.

Happy April Fools Day.  Anybody get you?  

the Columbus House Rabbit Society is again involved in Make Mine Chocolate for Easter 2007.

There's a new animal residing at the Columbus zoo named Fluffy.  Fluffy is not a rabbit, or even a kitty.  Fluffy is a humongous python.... and what does Fluffy eat according to the Columbus Dispatch? 

"Fluffy's diet is rabbits, one or two frozen 10-pounders a week."

Rabbit?

Rabbit, Rabbit? 

Gee that doesn't sound very lucky.
