Ha no worries Huntski. MRW it was the wine I cooked with, can’t let it go to waste! And it paired surprisingly well. Believe me I’m definitely a red wine guy, Malbec is my go to, but I’d suggest a Pinot Grigio with this meal anytime.

From: Big Dog

We just made venison Babbacoa (spelling ?) from boned shank and it is delicious. Cooked for hours in the crock pot, recipe obtained online and should pair well with a red wine from the Rhone Valley . No more shanks in the grind pot for me. Many have said shank dishes are good but this is our first try and they were right.

O M G ! As you may or may not know I don't enjoy cooking. I'm not good at it. Anyway. Took out some backstraps and cut them into whatever that word is dajangos whatever. Threw them in some apple barbecue sauce that was in the fridge let them swim for 30hrs or so. I just cooked m low and slow and I might start cooking for a living now. Spoon good ! No pepper no salt. Just deliciousness

I cannot recommend canned venison enough. Take the toughest cuts and turns it into tender deer goodness. This one has peppers, onions,broccoli, pineapple and ginger. Served over farro. Best part, it takes ten minutes to make.

People are slacking around here! Where’s all the food! Venison tenderloins with salad. My daughter ate one herself and my wife and I had to split the other. I wish deer had a few of these lol. How my friend had these in his freezer still is mind blowing, what a great friend to share though!

Whitefish, seared in olive oil, then sautéed in butter with a bunch of spices. Pulled the fish. Added white wine and sour cream to the butter for a sauce. Deadly good. Whitefish can compete with the best of them. And nobody here wants to catch them.

Came out awesome but the tortillas were too thick. I think I needed a wetter dough. Damn..... gonna have to make them again. The ground venison we made is awesome. I have about 25% fat mixed in. I think we still have at least 50 pounds of it left. I've been trying out the Meatchurch spices. I really like them.

Before pic of my first attempt at a whole braised front venison shoulder. One of the deer I shot last year was on the smaller side so I decided to try this out. I will never waste my time deboning and grinding a front shoulder again !!! Just lop it off and remove the shanks for osso bucco. Now I have two different meals and So easy to prepare. The main thing that deters me from shooting more deer is having to butcher them myself. Now that I can do this I am going to have a hard time passing the amount of deer that I do during the season

From: peterk1234
01-Apr-23
Dth, I agree! Osso bucco is incredible. And so much you can do with shoulder. Is that the blade meat? The blade is supposed to be incredible.

I even saved the caul fat this year!

I've started making crackers. So far just a salt and sesame one and a cinnamon sugar one. Fresh batch of both right here. It's taken a few tries to get it the right thinness and the perfect crunch, but I think I'm there.

I went down this rabbit hole for two reasons. First, I'm eating so many natural things now and our bodies seem happier for it. No preservatives or hard to pronounce chemicals in anything we eat for the most part at this juncture. We make our own pastas and breads, so this just made sense. And secondly, price. Food is so expensive, especially crackers and chips. These crackers probably cost me 25 cents, and it is fun and takes no time to make.

Having the time to do these things certainly makes it easier and much more fun. But there is something nice about cooking things from scratch. I have a loaf of bread, crackers, kimchi and pickled lemons in the works right here on the counter. Also a small portion of bacon fat waiting to be used to sear the venison backstraps for dinner.

But what hit me the most about this pic is that I just realized my wife and I eat nothing processed anymore. It wasn't the plan, it just happened.

This year we plan to grow vegetables. We have done it before but living in Montana now creates some challenges, a short growing season. It will be a fun journey.

We kill our red meat. We catch our own fish. We get a half pig from a local farm. The only thing to get rid of now is store bought chicken. Those things freak me out. I think we will buy those locally too, even if the cost is double or triple.

If you get a turkey, use his turkey breakfast sausage recipe. Great way to utilize the entire bird. I even use the breast meat now for sausage.

I just cut up a 4 lb venison round roast into nice thick steaks. It’s from a big Saskatchewan deer my buddy got in 2021. I’m trying a marinade I just made on the fly with all kinds of stuff. Final ingredient to the mix was a shot of Pendleton whiskey which has a nice sweet maple taste, and it’s Canadian so I figured why not pair it with a deer from up north lol. Hopefully it’s a hit!

Not a big fan of fish either, Will. But when I do eat fish, my brain sends (receives?) this signal that says “that was a good nutrition choice.” Difficult to describe, but it’s a pretty striking effect.

From: Jebediah
14-Jun-23
Of course, I then interpret the signal to mean “you’re all set,” so I go eat some potato chips.

14-Jun-23
By “some” potato chips do you mean the whole bag Jeb?

From: Jebediah

Well, no. I like to open a big bag, eat all the potato chips but one, and then put it back in the cupboard.

Daughter-in-law says It’s really juicey should I move over? I don’t want to get any on you. Lol wife later discovers that they both ate the uncooked ears that were on counter!

Started down this rabbit hole a few weeks ago. Getting flavor, a good crust and strong gluten development (the holes) has been tricky. I think part of it had to do with the elevation I live at and the lack of humidity. But this one came out pretty darn good. This batch was made using my sourdough starter.
