Listen Up, Varmint!

Monday is February 2, which is also known as groundhog day.
 
OK, Varmint.  You better get it right this year.  Otherwise:
 
GROUNDHOG STEW
1 dead goundhog (cleaned with glands removed)
2 large yellow onions, sliced

1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 cup water
1 cup vinegar
Flour, salt, pepper, cloves
Directions
1. Slice groundhog into large chunks.
2. Soak overnight in a solution of 1 cup water with 1 cup vinegar plus with one sliced onion and a sprinkle of salt.
3. Drain, rinse chunks, and wipe dry.
4. Parboil 20 minutes, drain, and cover with fresh boiling water.
5. Add one sliced onion, celery, carrots, a few cloves, and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Cook until tender; thicken gravy with flour.
 
Yes, this is a real recipe.  I found it on the internet.  But Froggy originally suggested stew, I was kind of thinking of grilling groundhog shishkabobs.
