Recipe in Moosey's handwriting:
Just a line to tell you about the coon.
Put some red pepper in and salt. Boil til tender. You can put 2 or 3 little sweet potatoes in there until they are tender. Take out. When the coon gets tender, put in pan with the sweet potatoes around him. Put some oil on him, set in oven a few minutes, not til he gets brown but just a little.
That's the best I can remember about those days when I used to cook everything. Cook him whole---the sweet potato will make him look better. Peel them.
My favorite part of this whole recipe is"The sweet potato will make him look better" -- I'm sure it would! I think my brother, Alex, made this one time, but once was definitely enough. Let me just say, his wife, Kelly, is a saint! :-)
