"The Age of Mediocrity," eh?
A friend of mine calls it the "Age of Great Stupidity," and I think he is right -- and, IMO, it is getting stupider and more brainwashed all the time,
I would like to think that people are getting more sensible about what they shove into their mouths, but I am not hopeful -- people are so easily stampeded into one fad or another by the Brainwashing Machine.
Never has it been more true :

You got it. I wouldn't be too surprised that in the future if country folk mounted cow catchers on their pickups to "bag" a deer or two on their way home from church.

If you haven't already seen it, you may want to check out Idiocracy ,the movie. My friends (all two of them) were aghast that I liked it. Granted, that you might get a headache from watching it, but....

Olyve, I've eaten squirrel and it's okay. 'Possum and coon are soul food classics but I've never tried either. I've had armadillo on several occasions and a variety of wild fowl.
Wild duck breast is one of the most incredibly delicious things I've ever eaten and the best steak I ever ate was venison.
I never heard of eating squirrel brains, but canned pork brains used to be available and the are quite good with scrambled eggs. I'm not sure whether they are still available though and I have it from a good source that the local slaughterhouse is no longer allowed to sell pig heads to brain eaters. You will be happy to learn that three ounces of pig brains contain 2,169 mg, or 723% of the recommended daily allowance for cholesterol, according to this.

Anyone have a favorite method for freezing/preserving basil? I attempt to stagger the planting, but still have more than I can use. I'd appreciate a method that you use, i.e. if you grow basil and preserve some by freezing it. Thanks.

Hi Joe,
I always get too much basil too.
I chop it and freeze it in ice cube trays covered with a few drops of water.
I always use water but a friend suggested that olive oil (*grin*) would work well too.
After it's solid store the cubes in freezer bags.
I've already planted new stuff for this year but have a few cubes left in the freezer too.
Works great!

I make Pesto with it, Joe. I just refrigerate it but there's no reason not to freeze the Pesto. What variety do you grow?
