The squirrel probably crawled into the engine compartment to warm his nuts.

How to make squirrel stew

Squirrel Stew

~ 3 squirrels, cleaned and cut up
~ 1/4 cup all purpose flour
~ 1 teaspoon salt
~ 1/2 teaspoon pepper
~ 2 slices bacon
~ 2 tablespoons butter
~ 5 cups of water
~ 1 - 28 oz can whole tomatoes
~ 1 chopped onion
~ 1 heaping tablespoon of brown sugar
~ 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
~ 1 - 10 oz package frozen lima beans
~ 1 cup frozen corn
~ 3 tablespoons all purpose flour

Combine 1/4 cup flour, salt and pepper. Coat the squirrel pieces.

In a Dutch oven, combine bacon and butter over medium heat until butter melts. Add squirrel and brown.

Add water, tomatoes, onion and brown sugar and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Remove squirrel pieces and let cool. Remove meat from bones.

Add meat, potatoes, beans and corn to Dutch oven. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and cover. Simmer until potatoes are tender.

Mix 3 tablespoons of flour with 3 tablespoons of cold water, then stir into stew. Heat to boiling.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, bubbly.

Serve with warm rolls and enjoy!

 

I had field mice stuff the air ducts of my 1970 Chevelle convertible with nesting material. Took a long time to get it all out of there.

Regarding squirrels: I have one of these in my office.

That is great, now if we could get the instructions on how to build one, we could all get enough to make the stew!

 

Simple catapult, now if you could figure out how to keep the squirrel in the pocket of a trebuchet, you would get far greater distance.

Of note, when the video is done, another pops up that the squirrel came back for a second ride. Must have liked it.

 

iPhone doesn't show me that, was there a line stating that no animals where harmed in the making of this video.

 

Search for "squirrel comes back"

 

Ok, for thread closure... 3x O2 sensors and 8hrs labor (labor includes the 2 other bite locations)

Do the math with your indy/stealer/etc. ...all done I was in the $1.5K-2K range

Drove the car hard today all good, but the bill makes me wonder at what $$$ the squirrel rights advocates change their tune?

 

Ouch. That's one expensive squirrel nest. Glad you got her fixed up though, and all is well....except your wallet.

That is heavy, did you have any insurance coverage?

 

yep - full comprehensive, but other issues (including being at at $1K deductible) make me prefer to just suck it up and pay the bill ...this may of course be my naivety about the options (and effects to premiums) available to me?

 

That sucks even more, send out the mob to find the squirrels Sorry to upset you again Larry.
