I'm glad you figured out I was kidding before you got mad and left the site.<BR/><BR/>S'kat, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Terry, I agree. It's so quiet down here (except for the parrots), that sometimes it doesn't feel like the city at all. Mmmmmm Medici's. Have you ever had their espresso milkshakes?<BR/><BR/>Mis, I so crazy! I definitely think you could replace the parrot meat with squirrel meat. The skin might not come out as crispy golden, but it's worth a try. I'm guessing the squirrels bug you at your place?<BR/><BR/>J, that sounds real yummy. I love it when those little tomatoes are roasted. And no, I don't think parrot is the practical way to go here.
