Didn't realize restaurant week was on again! Sounds like a good dinner...

As for your skunk, we have a family of them...with 2 babies...at the lake... under the house! We thought the neighbors were kidding us until we saw Big Daddy on the deck late one night...real big one! They don't smell, but we haven't surprised them yet either. There's a rabies alert up there for skunks. Last year, it was fox.
