I had a less than edifying post up about my current circumstances and I thought 'why bum people out?' so I took it down. Instead, here is a picture of a bunny.
1 rabbit a few strips of bacon rather more than 1 pint of good broth or stock a bunch of savoury herbs salt and pepper to taste thickening of butter and flour 1 glass of sherry.
Well wash the rabbit, cut it into quarters, lard them with Blips of bacon, and fry them; then put them into a stewpan with the broth, herbs, and a seasoning of pepper and salt; simmer gently until the rabbit is tender, then strain the gravy, thicken it with butter and flour, add the sherry, give one boil, pour it over the rabbit, and serve.
Sorry if you are having a dificult time. Chant this mantra along with me Good times and bum times, I've seen 'em all, and, my dear, I'm still here. I've run the gamut, A to Z; three cheers and, dammit, c'est la vie. I got through all of last year, and I'm here. Lord knows, at least I've been there, and I'm here. Look who's here. I'm still here.
Blimey! The replaced post must have been bad if this keeled-over-with-myxomatosis rabbit is lighter. I hope your circumstances buck their ideas up in short order and leave you feeling happy and gay once more.

You make a good point. When life hands you bunnies, make roast rabbit and drink a few shots of Bushmills. Gotcha! XOOOOO
DeleteIf the rabbit's too much, just drink the sherry!
