NOTE! It is no longer advisable to eat the squirrel brains as they have now been associated with a form of mad cow disease called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. While ADEQUATE cooking eliminates the problem, it's still not worth the risk until more is known about the problem: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9500E0D91231F93AA1575BC0A961958260

When you started this thread you said that the recipe that I posted (which is the same as the one you started your post with) was a friend's recipe.  When I was doing a search for squirrel recipes the same one that you listed as your friends showed up stating that it was sent by Timothy S. Barry.  If Timothy is your friend then all is good.  If Timothy is not the friend that you referred to when starting this thread then someone stole his recipe and put his own name on it.
