I have one of those type of molds. Still never used in my cabinet. I was all gung ho to try and then my guns ho-ness left.

I'm relieved too. That was a very nice guy that told you that tip. I really like the word haboob --I wish Wordle was 6 letters so it would come up 😁

OH NO! Ugh. And on Thanksgiving weekend to boot. Bet it was hard to find a repair place???? Is that fog or a haboob?

It's never too late. I'm not sure where you live...but there are guides and there are easier hunts that you can do. You have to have a Hunter's Safety Certificate here--you might not have to where you live. I took a two day class when I was probably 19 or 20 with a bunch of 12 year old boys....lol but true. Then you have to buy licenses for the specific game that you want to hunt. I really appreciate you reading along and commenting and, again, it's never too late

I'm sure that one of those fancy Scottish whiskey bottles have my name on it 😬

I'll bring a bottle when I move in 😬 It's actually really good. He keeps it in the freezer so it's icy cold. I did a little shot of it. Very pickley and spicy.

I remember telling you to pack those glasses up in the Princessmobile a few years ago 😁 Thank you ! I'll be back--possibly in the spring, for sure next September.

Definitely age and then how far they run after being gotten. If they run far the adrenaline makes the meat tougher. This one was an older deer.

I honestly love both kinds....I made fresh just because our friend doesn't make it and I wanted him to eat something he wouldn't normally cook for himself. I love those glasses, too. I think I'm down to only 4--used to have 8. They are quite breakable. But I think they still make them....

You can just tell by feeling the meat. It feels......tough. But it will make great burger which is what we use the most of anyway

Good morning! The guys are off to the airport. Everyone had a great time. They saw some amazing bucks and other wildlife. Not too cold not too hot. Just a nice hunt all the way around. I was putzing around in the kitchen, watching football etc. yesterday when it hit me I didn't take pictures of the second deer that they got--I went out and they already had it all cut up and put away! Soooooo sorry about that but you've seen it all before......it was a tough one. We will make burger out of all of it except the tenderloins which are in the fridge. I think burger grinding is on the slate for tomorrow. Today I hope to have a long, delicious nap. Yesterday: I made another meat and cheese board -everything the same as the earlier one except I added a really good havarti dill. Our friend wanted spaghetti and venison meatballs for dinner. And, as you all know, I will never turn that down! Meatball mix: Venison/pork mix Grated onion and garlic Torn up white bread soaked in a bit of milk Two eggs Italian seasoning Lawry's salt Black pepper Baked at 350F for about 30 mins The turned out nice and light. Best ones I've made in a while. Homemade pasta--man I had trouble with the dough this time. I had to really work with it. Finally got it manageable. Salad Our friends plate And eggnog and Frangelica sprinkled with nutmeg for an after dinner drink! Many thanks to everyone for keeping me company again this week! What would I do without you??? I might take a few pictures of the burger grinding so I'll add those within the next couple days. Again, thank you!!!

I'm envious of your chiles. I'm going to check the hatch Chile sites to see if I can get the frozen ones since it's colder here maybe I can do slower shipping.....

No, they are ducky....mildly ducky

I'm so glad you liked it! You can't beat pork loin in the SV.

Thank you! I didn't oil or anything this time. Sometimes I rub them with a little butter. You're right, the skin isn't fatty at all. Those doves are whole. You can cut the breasts off but we just gnaw the meat off lol. I've never made stock.....there really isn't much left after you eat on it. The guys are back already. I suspect they are going to work on the deer and watch football. I forgot to take a picture but they made themselves leftover pizza with an egg on top. This was the rest of their breakfast:

Why didn't I think of that???? Just came in from hanging with the outside cats. It's not as cold this morning. Very still. On to the food! The ever classic onion dip and pickle roll-ups. They came home early to watch football so I thought this went well with that. They chose teal and doves for dinner. It was so cold that I just roasted them inside instead of grilling. Teal stuffed with lemons and thyme Doves with the usual jalapeños and onions wrapped in bacon Broccoli, cheese and baked potatoes Apple pie for dessert Apple pie is getting ready to be my breakfast

OH 🤣 I even thought your husband must be so happy with it that hot LOL.

Yes!!! You're amazing!!! Thank you!!! Fig and Olive. I reallllly like them. Never thought about making them myself...... Making an apple pie for dessert.

I haven't. I'll write that down for next time. A deer has been gotten!

Yes capers. I love capers. Thank you!

That is hilarious! No luck yesterday. All they got was a wind burn on their faces lol. I haven't ever seen that recipe on there and I thought I had seen them all! Thank you for linking to it. I think we would really like this. Did you do the salt cure? We always just cut steaks out of it and grill or do them in a hot cast iron skillet. The wind finally laid down during the night. But it's coooooooold 11F--they said it was a very cold walk in to the shooting house. Sunrise I suspect they will get something today. Deer should be hungry and out and about. Back to yesterday. I made a board using some of the goodies from Murray's Cheese My favorite Harbison cheese on the left. Then some Havarti, smoked gouda, pepper jack and the truffle brie I was talking about yesterday. It was good. At the regular price of $65 a pound good? Maybe not lol. But fun to try. Both that and the Harbison were deliciously runny. Spiced pecans sprinkled throughout. Crackers were excellent....one was a fig cracker that I swear I took a picture of the box so I could remember the name but it's not on my phone. The other was an everything bagel cracker --and then just some plain water crackers. On the very right is a duck and fig terrine. Dinner was salad and pizzas Tonight will be venison steaks if they get one....if not then I dunno. I'm moving around very slowly this morning. Can't go back to bed because we're playing in the World Cup soon!

I've been wondering about you too! 107F. YUCK.

Same one. It's just so windy...nothing is moving around.

A few pictures This is inside the ground blind that they use when they hunt at the field that's closer to home--that's usually in the evening so they don't have such a long drive to get back. Sunrise this morning from the shooting house Nice little buck Annnnnnd, I hope this doesn't bother people too much but I am guessing there is some curiosity about what the inside of the buck that they got looks like. See that white -yellowish area? That's all infection and ick. And it's all over inside . Thus, we certainly don't want to risk any meat eating. So, hoping I haven't grossed you out too much.... Tonight is pizza night so I'm making dough as we speak.....our friend loves both the venison cheeseburger and a regular pepperoni and whatever so two pizzas will be made.

I dump a huge bag of spinach in the IP and pressure cook it for a few minutes-1 cup of water and whatever seasoning. Last night I used salt and lemon pepper. Make sure you have a lot because it's shocking how it cooks down lol. Yeah, they call it head cheese...maybe it isn't really head cheese??? It has all the parts that head cheese is made with.....
