zach Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 A couple of years ago I found evidence of mice at my place. Being new in the place I decided to clear up any signs of mice just in case it was from a previous problem. And then... I was sat watching TV and in it walked, as if it owned the place! A small brown mouse came in the living room. It walked around a bit and then sat between me and the TV on the carpet staring right at me! As soon as I stood up it was off, never to be seen again. One gutsy little mouse. If the little guy is still here, they are doing a good job of cleaning up. No signs of mice and the small brown mouse has never been seen again. On a side note, different people fear different things. I don't see it as silly (polite term) For me it's wasps, I hate em!! I see one and go into kill mode... those buggars eye you up before they get you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 That's amazing. It is indeed. Out of curiosity I have to give it a try. Saying that, if I catch them I couldn't kill them. It could well be a long game of rinse, release and repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover them in a pot with ethyl alcohol and marinate 2 hours. Cut a piece of salt pork or sowbelly into small dice and cook it slowly to extract the fat. Drain the mice, dredge them thoroughly in a mixture of flour, pepper, and salt, and fry slowly in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes. Add a cup of alcohol and 6 to 8 cloves, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce, transfer the sautéed mice to it, and warm them in it for about 10 minutes before serving.

Haha, I'll give it a miss thanks. Don't like cloves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
