Nasty little critters, but clever enough - I've had friends
rig up the most ingenious anti-vandalism devices to protect
birdseed, and the squirrels almost always figure out a way to
defeat them. The fact that they can fall a long way without
too much damage aids them in this.

There have been suburban and even a few urban sightings of
black bears in New England and the mid-Atlantic. As long as
the deer supply is okay, they pose no major danger, and as you
know, the population of white-tails has been increasing to the
point that they're a nuisance in a lot of places, thanks to
the anti-hunters who have watched Bambi too many times.

 ML> Looks good. Not sure I'd add the tomatoes, though.

I was wondering if they were a substitute for tomatillos
(which I also use in great moderation) in the original recipe.
