Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XVIII!

Well, the Wabbit always returns, and so will a new thread, as needed.

A lot of passings this year, including Richard Adams, who wrote Watership Down: one of my all-time favorite books since my age barely hit double digits. It's hard to be too sad about it, though. He was prolific, acclaimed, and 96 years old. His rabbit characters will live on a long time, too.

I need to reread that in '17. It's been too long.

Rabbits are still my favorite animal.

It's weird that they're stereotyped as the gardener's ultimate foe. I suppose the wild ones are, but if you have domestic rabbits, their droppings are great for growing plants. I used to have a pal in my book club who kept several rabbits, and she made quite a lot of extra cash selling the droppings to local hippie gardeners.

They're also a delight to pet. The ones that want to be petted, anyway. They can nip something awful though. We used to have one that demanded the attention due her. She would nip us inattentive humans into line.

Captain Carrot is depicted as a superhero who lived on the other-dimensional world of Earth-C, an alternate Earth populated by sentient animals, which was later redesignated Earth-26 in the new DC multiverse. At the beginning of the Captain Carrot series, he was referred to as "Roger Rabbit"; later in the series, "Rodney Rabbit" was usually used, to avoid legal issues involving the literary (and later film) character Roger Rabbit. Rodney was officially stated to be his middle name in the letters column.

Carrots used to be my favorite vegetable. Now, bell peppers are.

Mmmm... craving some vegetarian stuffed peppers now. Time to hit the market again.

Stuffed peppers! I love them. I made three stuffed green bell peppers once and ate them in one sitting.

I'm a big fan of stuffed poblano peppers!

I want to try them!

Stuffed with cream cheese?

My fave sweet stuffed pepper recipe has brown rice, jack cheese, browned onion, and herbs. Eh... no sales this week though, so maybe later.

That sounds excellent!

I tried one with corned beef and onions. Turned out okay but I would love to add cheese and to try different cuts of meat.

Seasoned beef (or a mix of beef & pork) is the traditional filling here, often with rice mixed in to keep it all from being super-fatty and heavy.

I've also done squash, baked, with the seeds removed & filled with rice and/or beans. Gotta' be careful they don't dry out in cooking, though-- because by nature they're less fatty than even lean meat.

Tonight I'm doing regular old baked beans w/veggie "franks," though.

Ah, squash. I did a squash risotto once.

I like squash. Butternut or roasted acorn with brown sugar, maple, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spaghetti with parmesan cheese and garlic.

Those sound divine.

I was and am a fussy eater. I did not like squash (still don't) My mom would make both pumpkin pies and squash pies, but always told me they were pumpkin pies (which I would eat).

Now, I actually like the taste of squash pie better than pumpkin pie.

So much commercial pumpkin pie is bad: gelatinous texture, not enough spice, and soggy cardboard-y crust. If it's made right, I love it.

Sweet potato pie is also fabulous if made with care. I'd totally try the squash pie.

I miss making mashed potatoes.

I prefer sweet potatoes.

I like them too. We dip them in brown sugar and fry them.

I have never had a sweet potato

My fave way to make sweet potatoes is cubed and oven baked with a coating of veggie oil, honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkling of toasted pecans.

I almost never bother to peel potatoes before cooking them.

I also include the skins when cooking potatoes. The skin is supposed to be nutritious.
