    I'd read about the whole grouse hunting culture in romantic novels about the Scottish countryside. but who knew-  https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/19/scottish-grouse-moor-owners-face-licensing-within-five-years

     

    Roadkill harvest of larger critters like deer is a thing right? Free food. 

     

     

    derful ,medical doctor.

    when we lived in east Texas I saw more dead armadillos than live.   I believe it was about 90 to 1.....

    up in this area of NJ or in the mid-Hudson Valley you have several options .....

    keep the meat for yourself

    offer it to a food bank

    offer it in winter to the state to feed raptors.

    Ruffed grouse can be one of the most difficult small game to bag.

    You rarely notice them when they're at rest — when they take flight, the loud noise startles you so much that they're gone before you can recompose yourself. LOL xD

    They're tasty though, when you do get lucky.

    I had to laugh....

    we are currently documenting a very, VERY friendly ruffed grouse.  Like this bird will walk up to you and want to have a conversation.  He's too sweet to dispatch.

    I love redbud.  They are in bloom here also.

     

    Half a state north and the trees are confused.... forsythia bloomed in March, the shad bush bloomed the last two weeks, any other deciduous trees - which usually would have leafed out by mid April - are barely in bud.  I dread when they do bloom!!!!

    Thank you!  You've inspired me.  I've decided to make something similar for dinner tonight - frozen fries, chunks of ham, and the egg.  

    Mix it all together, add some minced onion and red bell pepper and you have eggy potatoes.

     Clementine for dessert (they have kept just fine for several weeks, I'm pleasantly surprised, although I will be happy when they are gone this week).

    You could have shipped them up to me - had to go buy a bag for Johhnybird as he has discovered he prefers them to lemon juice in his amaretto sour.

  6. 1/2 a BLT on toasted white bread with some Miracle Whip.

    The other half is going  with us for John's lunch as we check a bluebird trail for nesting birds.

    Made John gluten-free pancakes for his blueberries and maple syrup.

  7. All prepped for John's dinner when we get home from the field(checking bluebird boxes for activity).

    Julienned red peppers, carrots, water chestnuts and onions.  Lo mein sauce (Rachael Ray recipe that is quite good and not too spicy for John).  Lo mein noodles.  Sauteed shrimp to go on John's; vegetarian for me.

    Can you describe this more.. I don't know what beef debris is exactly.. It's cooked down some cut of beef and then a pan gravy. Is there dominate flavor or seasoning.    I've heard of this I think in Rochester?  Is it a sandwich?  Is it normally on mashed potatoes, fries, or wedges  or all of the above in addition to rice,  pasta or garlic bread. 

     

    You are thinking of a garbage plate I believe.  Fried potatoes, macaroni salad, meat of some sort - beef, hotdogs or even fried fish.

    I have a can of pumpkin from 2005.  It's organic though.  Come to think of it I have some pumpkin that's more recent.  If only I had some chocolate cake box mix.

     

    I have a recipe for pumpkin olive oil bread if you have light olive oil.  Oh, yeah and one for pumpkin chocolate chip bread we used to make at the bakery.  Just sayin'.

  11. Couple of nights ago, influenced by some folks here, John brought me some canned green beans.  I had made mashed potatoes to go with the leftover meatloaf for his dinner.  

    I cooked them low and slow with a little veg stock, garlic and butter.  Closest I have had to the beans I remember from down at Luby's Cafeteria in Hooks, TX.

    HIS:  meatloaf, beans and mashed potatoes

    HERS:  beans and mashed potatoes reinforced with some garlic and herb cheese and a scoupson of French onion dip.

  12. The last few days it has been a pint of water, a small yoghurt with some tinned fruit (all of my mandarin oranges have been sacrificed for juice for Johnnybird's Amaretto sours - he likes the juice from them instead of lemon juice in the drink). I also scored a cranberry scone that was rich and flaky and two crumb buns that I cut into half or quarters.
