Rocky Raccoon of Fiddlin' Rooster Farm

This adorable little critter is one of our beloved friends at the farm.

We are trying to train him to be friends with the chickens at our Hen House (and with Mr. Rooster, as well).  Unfortunately, Rocky’s idea of being friendly is to invite the chickens to dinner … at which they are the main entree.

You can see by this candid shot that we have tried to interest Rocky in a vegetarian diet of old corn stalks and the like.  He is showing his displeasure by sticking out his tongue.  This fella has no manners.

But’s he is absolutely adorable.

1 1/2 c. Flour
1/2 c. Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 c. Butter
1 Egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
4 c. Blueberries

2 c. Sour Cream
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Blend first four ingredients, then add egg and vanilla.  Pat in a 10″ springform pan.  Place blueberries on top of cake.  Mix remaining ingredients and pour over berries.  Bake at 375o  approximately 60 -70 minutes, or until edges are lightly brown.  Serve with whipped cream.
