Bunnies Go Free
Sad news for the guys but good news for bunnies.
Every February, my dh goes to our church to fry up rabbit for the men’s annual rabbit dinner. The guys have a great time goofing off and cooking. They rarely get together just for fun and so they catch up on fishing tales and the latest news. The menu is always the same, fried rabbit, mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits and brownies. The ladies have a dinner at a different location and then we join the guys in the sanctuary for entertainment. The entertainment varies. Last year it was Dueling pianos.
This past year, the guys made their own brownies where in the past I made them. Last year I made 250 3″ brownies for the rabbit dinner. Our church bought the old fire station in our town and did a huge renovation to it. It has a state of the art kitchen. I made the brownies in that kitchen. It went so fast because they have a huge kitchen-aid mixer. The baking sheets are twice the size of mine and the oven bakes 10 trays at a time! I baked 5 trays of brownies at one time!
When my husband finished cooking for the dinner this year, he came home and plopped down onto the couch. He was so tired. He and two other men did the majority of the work for the dinner this year. They have decided that they are getting too old to spend a day cooking. This was the last year for the rabbit supper.

WOW! Your hubby won’t know what to do on that day next year when he doesn’t have to spend the whole day cooking! That’s a lot of work.
You must make very yummy brownies to have all 250 of them disappear so fast!

A whole day frying rabbit? And 5 trays of brownies at a time? You guys do know how to throw a party! I consider it a lot of work if we make more than 4 burgers on the grill
Sorry to hear that the rabbit dinner is over. Dave could help next February and I will too. They do have load of fun. I always know when it’s rabbit cutting day because Dave pulls out my longest, widest and sharpest knives for this event. I’m surprised the guys let him in the kitchen with them!
Maybe we can encourage the guys to continue their fellowship, bunny hopping, frolics, stories and fellowship when we return in May…..
You heard it hear, May 1st! Yeah!!!!!! Good by Georgia!!!
Hello…..IN
It is good to hear you are coming back so soon. Yay!
About the rabbit dinner…I doubt you could get Lynn to do it unless he just helped. His back hurt so bad. If they could get some people to help it would be different. These older guys can’t stand on that cement for 12 hours without feeling the repercussions of it. They want to…their bodies say no. LOL
