Caffe Boa planning rabbit-based Easter menu
Caffe Boa, long noted for its creative use of local, organic and fresh ingredients, will celebrate Easter with a special brunch, as well as a six-course, prix-fixe, rabbit-based dinner.
The Easter Bunny better steer clear.
Both locations - the original in Tempe, and the Caffe Boa Bistro in Mesa - will offer an a la carte brunch of rabbit loin "Canadian bacon" eggs Benedict, brioche French toast and garlic scrambled eggs with salmon and warm cream cheese, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The brunch is a la carte (with dishes ranging from about $9 to $12). Bottomless mimosas are an additional $19.95.
Caffe Boa executive chef Payton Curry, inspired by the tales of Alice in Wonderland, is preparing a six-course dinner based primarily on rabbit, which is appearing on the menus of more and more restaurants. Dinner is available from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and costs $65.
The dinners will consist of:
• Carrot soup with carrot soup with crispy rabbit confit.
• Rabbit-liver mousse crostini, fines herbes salad, quince mostarda, horseradish crème fraiche.
• Rabbit terrine with black truffle, celery root and parsnip slaw, black pepper buttermilk vinaigrette, brioche.
• Ravioli of rabbit, local beet pasta, arugula-walnut pesto, local radish slaw.
• Prosciutto-wrapped rabbit leg, white truffle omelet, braised black eyed peas.
• And, for dessert, carrot cake.
There is an alternative menu available for children. Reservations are required.

Disapproving Rabbits: A few words about Easter, and Baby Bunnies
I, of all people, am not going to tell you that rabbits don't make good pets. They do. They're intelligent, cute, and fun to have around.
However...

Orleans captures a Mia!!! and goes home too!!
Our Orleans charmed Mia today. She fell in love and adopted the little fuzzrocket. ; ) He'll be going home after easter sunday (always a good impulse shopper sniffer outer). Good life, little bunny!
Here's Orleans story...who wouldn't fall for him... ; )
Hi there!!! It's me, Orleans, and I'm so excited about my first time at offsite adoptions (2/12/10) I had to tell you all about it!!! So I have a reputation with the RabbitMatch moms, you know?? I'm known as a little ruffian, just bursting with energy and passion for the active lifestyle. My condo has that tornado survivor decor, you know??? The moms were afraid I'd get booted out of Centinela Feed in the first 5 minutes!! But No Way!!! I was in my element!!! All my raisins were in the litterbox even though I was surrounded by new rabbits!!! I ignored the phermones. I was admired, petted, had laptime and demonstrated how a few rabbits love to have a chinrub!! That's me!!! Playdates?? Well......not this time.....
I persuaded the mom I needed a re-do of my mugshots. At the same time we realized that I'm going into a massive shed!! So I borrowed the mom's hat to cover the shaggy back. The hedgehog came along to do some camouflage. What do you think??? The mom suspects I'm going into a growth spurt too. I'm a dashingly handsome red dutchboy (tiny-x here please!!!) . Your Bunny Olympics wannabe, Orleans
It's Orleans, checking in for Feb.'10. I weighed 5 lbs. 9 oz today, 2/1/10 but probably need to fill in my frame a little more. I'm the most handsome, muscular, 90% dutch boy ever!!!! I love to race madly around the rabbit run, tail held high in the air. I make people laugh!!!! Then I get a short head start and LEAP over the edge of the x-pen. I'm probably a candidate for rabbit agility contests but the mom does not approve. Something about a rabbit's delicate skeleton. But I'm young and have no fear!!! We need more visitors at RabbitMatch. I'm sending a special bunny mental vibration to you!!!! Bunnykisses from Orleans.
Hi!!! It is 12-20-09 and I need to introduce myself. I'm Orleans, the new boy at RabbitMatch. I was a baby when I was sold at the Pet Store. You knew that most of the animals those places peddle are sick or will become sick shortly, didn't you??? I already had a few earmites when I was bouncing around in their window. Well, the people who bought me weren't interested in taking a $5 rabbit with ear issues to the vet so I've suffered until now that I found my way to RabbitMatch. I was instantly dosed w the good stuff that wipes out any and all icky skin parasites.

Unleashed: Easter bunnies aren't for everybody
With Easter only two weeks away, many parents and grandparents may consider adding something more than plastic grass, candy bunnies and Peeps to their children's Easter baskets.
Before buying beautiful live bunnies at local pet stores, families need to look beyond the baby rabbit's appeal as a cute holiday prop...

Yay for Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue!

Volunteers from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary (BFAS), Western University, the Bunny Bunch in Montclair and the Rabbit Task Force of Long Beach City College (LBCC) have joined together to humanely stabilize the rabbit population at Long Beach City College.

I weigh 4 lbs though I swear it's mostly fur...
Please! No more MotoPhoto [Easter] bunnies!
Easter is such a bad time of year for rabbits. In addition to all the people buying rabbits on impulse and having no clue about the unique needs of rabbits, we have all those photo studios offering to take photos of children with live rabbits. After the Easter photo shoots are over, the rabbits are either released into the wild, sold as snake food (yes) or...

The Humane Pet Leash
EZLeash, EZHarness, EZCollar
Some of us need harnesses when we fly with our buns to get them through the HSA line. Has anyone used these? They look great. Easy for the bunny to get in and out of too. (always a consideration!)
They sound like a nice company too...

Q. Where do people go after they've wiped out in Las Vegas??
A. To Los Angeles!!!
Q. How do they transport the pet rabbits??

Anagrafe Conigli
Dopo un anno di lavori, viene finalmente alla luce l'Anagrafe Conigli in collaborazione col Ministero della Sanità. Le basi di questo progetto erano state gettate un anno fa in occasione del Convegno Nazionale sulle nuove norme per gli animalid' affezioneil sito scopo di raccogliere tutti i dati dei conigli microchippati sul territorio italiano in modo da facilitarne la rintracciabilità in caso di smarrimento e di conferire anche ai conigli lo status di animale da compagnia tutelato anche dalla macellazione.Perchè questo avvenga però è importante supportare questo progetto pilota e potrete farlo anche Voi,invitando a procedere a questa semplice ma indispensabile procedura Infatti più conigli verranno censiti più peso avrà la loro presenza e il loro diritto ad essere tutelati come animali d'affezione, esattamente come cani e gatti.
AAE iscriverà i propri conigli ed invita tutti ,amici, soci, simpatizzanti e le altre associazioni a fare altrettanto perchè dall'unione nasce la forza e ognuno di noi, iscrivendo il suo coniglietto- microchippato o no-può dare un contributo concreto al riconoscimento del coniglio come animale da compagnia. e dopo mesi di duro lavoro è nato

Sirius Lee funneh Bunneh :0)
A: When your bunny has his own dust bunnies!
I just had to laugh at Sirius Lee Cute yesterday morning, he was doing his normal morning inspection, he disappeared under Joshua’s bed (all polished floors remember) and he emerged out of the other side with two large fluffy dust bunnies attached to him, one on each side of his whiskers, he was hopping about none the wiser, but was looking at my strangely and I think, wondering why I was laughing at him! :0) They didn’t fall off on their own either, I had to pluck them off, LOL! Each one was as big as his head, he really looked so funny, didn't have the heart to leave them on and get the camera, I thought it kinder to get them off him, but today I wished I had got the camera :0) Boy I really needed to smile!
