We voted!

I want to encourage everyone to vote in this significant and important election. We mailed our ballots in this week using DHL because we wanted to be sure they got there safely and on time.

We had a beautiful Sunday today. Upper 60s and sunny. So lovely. And the sunset was spectacular! October has not been normal. Wetter and cooler than normal.

Finally tonight for dinner I made an Italian recipe, ragù di coniglio. Rabbit ragu. Rabbit is not a meat much used in the U.S., but it is very common here. I used to source it before we moved here at a specialty market. Now it is available right near the chicken in the regular supermarket. It’s not the cute bunny you think of. These are farmed just like chicken. The ragu.

Final dish.

It was good. But fussy to make. I hope your Sunday was nice! Buona domenica!

    Ah well, we didn’t mind paying the €54. It was worth it to know our votes would get there OK – thanks Roxanne!

    We voted online in NC the first day we were allowed! We checked our votes and they were received and accepted! There’s many ways to cast your vote, depending on your state. Vote!

    Haha Audrey! Well, it is similar in taste to chicken so you could make this ragu with chicken if you wanted. I like rabbit for a change. Normally I just braise it for an hour and eat the pieces rather than pick all the meat off the bones for the ragu.

    Thank you for voting. Its so important every time, but especially this year.
    How is rabbit? I vaguely remember having it one time when I was in the Air Force in the cafeteria (on Easter, lol. They thought they were funny) I think it tasted like chicken, maybe a little gamier. But then again, I think everything tastes like chicken. Alligator, frog even shark.

    Yes, we just completed our ballots and will be placing them in a drop-box this afternoon. We all definitely need to vote. As you said, it’s important.

    That ragú looks a lot like a brown Mexican mole sauce. Looks delicious. A nice warm ending to a nice weekend. Thank you.
