Many years ago, around 1987 or so, when my daughter was only 5 years
old, we "celebrated" Easter by having *FRIED RABBIT* for Easter Sunday
dinner!  My duaghter thought it was great!  She had hunted eggs, but
knew there was no Easter bunny, or Santa Claus, and she knew the truth
about why we celebrate Easter and Christmas.  Just thought I would
share this little bit if [slightly sick] humor with you all.
