So We Got Our Asses Kicked










I got out and took these pics today.
I thought what Cornwallis had to say was pretty funny.
It was rather spooky even in the middle of the day there.
I can't exactly splain why.. but I felt it.

THE BATTLE OF GUILFORD COURTHOUSE
Here is some information about the battle:

The battle fought at the small North Carolina backcounty hamlet of Guilford Courthouse on Thursday, March 15, 1781, was the largest, most hotly-contested action of the Revolutionary War's climactic Southern Campaign.
Major General Nathanael Greene, defending the ground at Guilford Courthouse with an army of almost 4,500 American militia and Continentals, was tactically defeated by a smaller British army of about 1,900 veteran regulars and German allies commanded by Lord Charles Cornwallis. After 2 1/2 hours of intense and often brutal fighting, Cornwallis forced his opponent to withdraw from the field. Greene's retreat preserved the strength of his army, but Cornwallis's frail victory was won at the cost of over 25% of his army.

Guilford Courthouse proved to be the highwater mark of British military operations in the Revolutionary War. Weakened in his campaign against Greene, Cornwallis abandoned the Carolinas hoping for success in Virginia. At Yorktown, seven months after his victory at Guilford Courthouse, Lord Cornwallis would surrender to the combined American and French forces under General George Washington.

Nature












More Nature (Sort of)


Ok, since the nature pics didn't do it for ya, maybe this will.
This is an actual recipe out of a book. (See Pic)

Fried Squirrel

Make sure all the hair is cleaned off the squirrel. Cut it up. If it's old and tough put it in the pressure cooker for about 15-20 minutes. Salt and pepper it.

Cover with flour and fry in a cast iron skillet, on a medium fire until brown and tender.

This is a real sweet meat.

(This is my favorite part of the recipe, of course they are referring to putting gravy on it, but nonetheless.. hahaha)

You can smother a squirrel just like a chicken!
