Well, yesterday we butchered our first rabbit we bred and grew out. It was much harder (emotionally) than killing and cleaning a deer or butchering a chicken. It took way too long, but now that we know what we are doing, the next one should take less than half of the time. I regret buying such a cute and friendly breed of bunny.

I have creamy italian rabbit stew in the crockpot ready for dinner (I just have to add the cream and parmesan when I get home and cook an extra 5-10 minutes). I'm really looking forward to eating our own home grown meat.

We lovingly call it Stuart Stew because we named every single baby Stuart to remind us that they will all become stew, but to make it easy to refer to them. It is a bit confusing because all of our babies were female and Stuart makes me want to call them "he/him".
