EHHHHH EHHHHHH HEH EHHHH
Pine marten, if you’re wondering. This lovely specimen went for £30 at auction, £10 less than the lower guide price. A travesty.
I wasn’t there for the taxidermy, though. I was there for a silly piece of furniture, which I won. I’ll show you after we pick it up.
Why do stuffed mustelids always look like this? EHHHHHH. EHHHHHH. Have a good weekend! May you finish your turkey before December come.

While I usually find mustelids endearing, I don’t think I’d like to have that particular specimen staring at me in my own home.
Now, if it had a nice fat stuffed rat in its mouth, that would make all the difference in the world!

A day without sunshine is like a stuffed stoat without a rat in its mouth.
I think that’s how the old saying goes, right?

@Some V. — Ah, yes! I remember hearing my Granma Kallikak saying that as she skinned and cleaned up the squirrels for her famous Brunswick stew. She tended not to differentiate stoats, squirrels, and rats. “They’s all fuzzy li’l four-legged critters, right? Taste kinda like possum or mebbe armor dillah?”

Once the turkey leftovers make it into the soup pot, Thanksgiving can last well into December. Very welcome on a cold day.
Cheerio, now I’m off to peruse my Despair.com catalog.

Turkey pot pie.
And only had to discard, by my calculation, 3&1/3 cups of flour and a half cup of butter after discovering a 2/3 cup measure was used instead of a half cup measure to measure the flour for the pie crust dough.
First time ever making a pie crust from scratch you see.
And no one shouted obscenities this time, those were used up discovering the wax seal on the guest bathroom toilet had failed, miserably.
No stouts were harmed in the making of said pie.
