Good morning! Our hunter friend arrived yesterday morning. They went out to lunch and then headed out to the deer field. They saw some but nothing was gotten.
I got the house all decorated for Christmas. Bought a new blanket to snuggle up in when it's nice enough to sit on the porch--I like looking at the lights on the tree. Loving this new porch furniture.
As I've said a million times I'm always trying to think of something new and exciting to send along with them for breakfast but nothing ever materializes and I settle on the good ole breakfast burrito. Easy to eat on the go.
I needed to make 8 burritos --sausage, cheese, egg, tater tots, onions and pickled jalapeños.
I only got 7 out of what I cooked up SIGH. 🙄. Instead of cooking up more sausage I opted to just dice up some ham I had in the fridge. Also had to make more eggs. I am so bad at gauging how much food will make enough of what I need.
So, one lucky winner will get ham lol.
We picked up a huge brisket a few weeks ago, cut it in 4ths, cold smoked it, vac packed and froze. Took one out to thaw Tuesday morning.
Tuesday evening at 7 I put it in the SV. 24 hours at 155F
Deer season is always kind of tricky...they don't get home some nights until dinner is almost ready. Last night was one of those but I went ahead and made a quick dip so they would have something to munch on--just sour cream and this mix:
Broth from the brisket
Scalloped potatoes
Green beans, bacon and onions
Brisket and jalapeño cheese sausages
It's a real feel of 19F and it's windy. Not sure if anything will be moving around but we'll see. I'm not moving around lol. Hope to take it a bit easier today. At least I don't have to make breakfast 
Scout really hates deer season.....she's not quiet and patient like Chum so she's stuck at home with me....staring at the door lol......
I'm off to ponder dinner
