Is it just me, or are groundhogs the ugliest creatures on the planet? They’re fat, buck toothed, and constantly have a stupid dumbfounded look on their face. They’re only useful on this day of the year, and even then they really don’t know what the hell is going on. There’s probably a team of meteorologists down in that hole telling the stupid rodent whether to look at his shadow or not.

God, I hate them. I hate them so much.

Here is a recipe for groundhog meat:

Punxsutawney Raviolis
Capture, kill, skin and debone several groundhogs. (Remember, as with any dead rodent, wear gloves when handling and skinning.) Pass the meat through the fine blade of a meat grinder. Saute it in bacon fat and garlic. Never undercook rodent meat. Add a cup of chopped cooked spinach or watercress. Salt and pepper and use the mixture as a filling for raviolis. Makes about 72 raviolis. Serve with your favorite homemade spaghetti sauce. Source: Dvorak.

P.S. I was attacked by a groundhog as a child.
