To cook a groundhog, I suggest you boil it for about two weeks before you try to roast it. Even then it will be tough, kind of greasy, and stringy.

Weather? Yeah, well.......Not too Christmassy here in Ohio. We've been unseasonably warm to the point that I have some daylilies trying to come back up! Yesterday, two different fronts came through and the wind was unbelievable....even lost power a few times. Today is gray and coolish and looks like we could get some additional rain. Long term, the folks around here are much like the folks over Allan's way (not too far) and are predicting about the same thing.

It's not always a white Christmas here, but it is generally pretty damn cold by now. Be interesting to see what the next year brings.
