the beast of girton

[woolymonkey]

I couldn't get Humbug to come in tonight so I went down the garden to see if he'd got stuck in a tree or been cornered by one of the farm cats. I found him crouched over a freshly killed pheasant.

He let me bring it, and him, in and was apparently happy to trade it for a pouch of Whiskas. Sunday lunch at the monkey house will be pheasant casserole.

We started with roadkill recipe instructions off teh interwebs but decided the English shooting classes know best on these matters: http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/homefeature/524353/How_to_prepare_a_pheasant__with_Amy_Willcock.html
"At the end of your shoot you'll be given a brace of pheasants..." You pluck them on a newspaper. Apparently, it doesn't actually have to be the Telegraph, but I'm sure it helps.
