I could not help but think of Mr. Wu, from HBO's series Deadwood. In the series, Mr. Wu was the go-to guy for disposing of unwanted bodies. Mr. Wu would feed the corpses to his pigs - the pigs would leave nearly nothing behind.
I was standing on the back steps of the house, watching two of our hounds have a mid-day snack; they each had half of a rabbit head. Three of our four dogs eat a raw diet (the fourth dog has digestive issues and requires a higher fiber, lower fat diet than what is provided by raw). Throughout the winter months, we tend to have issues with rabbits. It has not been particularly bad this winter; we have actually only had the live-trap out for a brief time in January. The one and only rabbit caught this winter was from in January; humanely dispatched, it hung in the garage - frozen - until this past weekend when I quartered it up for the hounds.
We got a jump on the day; a 4:00 AM jump. The hound we are fostering for a rescue, has had back issues (slipped disc). We have been taking him to a chiropractor in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. We missed our appointment yesterday - Melissa, my wife, has been fighting a cold. The good doctor said he could squeeze us in today. There was a caveat to today, however - it had to be either at 7:45 AM or after 4:00 PM in St. Paul. We are in the Duluth, MN area, and St. Paul is roughly 2.1/2 hours south of here. We picked the morning run.
"It tastes strange.", the wife said. I would agree, the fresh loaf of bread, minutes from the oven, had an off taste. It did not rise properly, either. It kept rising, then falling, rising and then falling; not enough gluten, is my guess.
Often, I mull over how I plan to assemble something. When I was building a cherry and walnut desk for my study, I went so far as to design the entire piece of furniture in AutoCAD. I even wrote a Perl script that utilized the golden ratio to optimize the layout of the pieces of the wood that would comprise the top of the desk.
