We purchased a rabbit from Back Forty Acres in Chelsea, Michigan and today I cooked it in my dutch oven. The recipe and pictures are included below.
Ingredients:
1 rabbit (4 – 5 lbs.)
2-3 slices of bacon
2 or 3 onions – Cut 2 into quarters and chop 1 into small pieces
3 or 4 carrots - Slice into chunks
3 cloves of garlic
2 bay leaves
5 or 6 potatoes cut into small chunks
3 stalks of celery chopped into small pieces
1 can of chicken broth
2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. black pepper
Preparation:
• Brown the bacon slices and 1 finely chopped onion in the Dutch oven with bottom heat.
• Add the rabbit and brown it on both sides for 3-4 minutes
• Add 1 can of chicken broth
• Add onion quarters, chopped celery, chopped carrots, and potatoes
• Add enough additional water to cover the vegetables.
• Cook at low heat until meat and potatoes are tender.

Tunnel Bar-B-Q Windsor Canada
Today we make the short drive from Belleville, MI to Windsor, Ontario for a site seeing trip and to eat lunch at Tunnel Bar-B-Q. Since it's opening in 1941, the restaurant has a long history in downtown Windsor.
We stopped by for lunch after a visit to the Riverfront Sculpture Garden offering a great view of downtown Detroit.
The service was very good with a friendly waitress who is planning a driving trip through Tennessee, down to New Orleans and onward to Texas for a Carribbean cruise in a couple of weeks.
Always inquisitive, Linda couldn't resist asking if they prepare the bbq in a real smoker or in the oven. Since we parked in the rear of the restaurant with no signs of wood, a smoke stack, etc. I already knew the answer. I'll give bonus points for honesty. It is after all "the best policy".
For oven 'que that is far from the traditional southern-style that we prefer, it was acceptable lunch fare.
The dessert menu was the highlight of the visit. Linda and nephew Gus shared a chocolate brownie mousse and I had Peach Melba (ice cream wtih peaches and raspberry sauce).
I can't recommend making a special trip just for the 'que, but if you're already in town and looking for some lunch give it a try.
