Put some slices of fat bacon in an oven. Lay the squirrels on top of them and lay two slices of bacon on the top. Put them in the oven and let them cook until done. (sorry, no time or temperature specified) Lay them on a dish and set near the fire. Take out the bacon, sprinkle one spoonful of flour in the gravy and let it brown. Then pour in one teacup of water, one tablespoonful of butter and put some tomato or walnut catsup. Let it cool, then pour it over the squirrel.
