INGREDIENTS
- 1rabbit
- salt
- pepper
- 250-375gbutter
- 1-1 1/2cuphot water
- bouquet garni (optional)
- 1onion (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Melt butter in saucepan and saute onion.
- Heat butter mixture until golden brown.
- Fry rabbit in butter until evenly browned and sealed.
- Add the water and simmer for 1-5 hours with the water only*just* moving becuase the meat will toughen if it boils.
- My dad usually makes this without the bouquet garni in the pot– he gets wild rabbits on the farm in New Zealand and they seem to be strong enough in flavour to not need it.
- I buy my bunnies in the Dutch supermarket and think that the additional herbs*are* needed as these are farmed rabbits and don’t have the same taste.

Tags: Slime
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2cup whiteglue
- 6tablespoonswater
- food coloring
- 1-4teaspoonborax
- 1-4tablespoonwater
DIRECTIONS
- Mix the glue, 6 tablespoons water and food coloring until it is dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon borax into 1 tablespoon water.
- Add to the glue solution.
- You will get a very thick clump of slime when the two mix.
- Pull the clump of slime out of the glue mixture and put it in a separate bowl.
- Mix another batch of the borax solution and add to the remaining glue mixture.
- Repeat until all the glue mixture is used (about 3-4 times).
- With clean hands, knead the slime to mix.
- This will take about 10 minutes and is not very difficult as the slime easily separates between your fingers.
- If a looser, more slimy texture is desired knead in a bit more water.
- The more water you add, the slimier it gets.
- The slime doesn’t leave a residue and doesn’t get stuck on anything.
- Store in an airtight container.
- This can easily be doubled, tripled or quadrupled.
- THIS RECIPE IS NOT FOR EATING!
