1 med. sized possom
5 gallons water
2 handfuls hardwood ashes
1/2 c. salt
1/2 dozen med. sized sweet potatoes
Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix

Feed lettuce and table scraps to caged possom for 5 days. Break his neck by stepping on neck and yanking tail until neck snaps. Boil 5 gallons of water and put possom and ashes in water. Scrape off hair with knife, do not skin! Soak possom overnight in cold water and salt. Stuff possom with dressing. Place in a roaster with a little water. Cook 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Add sweet potatoes to roasting pot, slice as you would a pig and serve.
