Captain, see if that farmer can't save you a nice Canada Goose. Roast it and save the fat for frying potatoes. There will be a LOT of creamy white fat on a goose, and hopefully a nice chunk of liver for "pate de foie gras"

Cap, ... good grief dude, GOOGLE how to prep a dear. Do the poor thing justice. The back strap is in NO way to be used as sausage!! Do not waste such an incredible animal. I remember when we had that old meat grinder that attached to the counter top.... like a vice grip.

OH.... I made string bean soup with ham hocks. cornbread sprinkles on top.

the milk carton at nh said ( at the end of the ingredients list ) that it contained milk . that could mean anything resembling milk and its evidently none of our business in what amount .
corn syrup - water - " white " .
ive got to get a grinder with a sausage stuffer spout . farm foreman is pretty sincere about knocking me down a big doe . id grind the whole deer into link sausage , then can the sausage links if i can get things aligned to do it . thats many an effortless dinner with maybe the addition of a big homemade brotchen roll . brotchen rolls will hold up in the fridge for a week . 87 million germans cant be wrong about whats wholesome . i dont drink beer in the wintertime but for these id make an exception .

i made another apple crisp tonight . ya might remember that i got annoyed that 3 different pies at the sav a lot were all made of corn and soya . apple , peach , and cherry -- all colored soya . well i was reading the ingredients on both a carton of milk and a carton of vanilla shake at ednas nh today and they too were made of corn and soya . if you arent careful everything you are eating could be the same slurry . maybe such a diet has something to do with all of this dementia . in ednas nh there isnt one bright eye in the population of 80 old people .

Another quiche tonight. Fresh spinach (wilted), cheddar, and bacon, with chopped walnuts pressed into the crust, and rings of small red sweet peppers on top.

I knew I was spending this afternoon in the rehab center with my son so I was clever enough to wilt the spinance, grate the cheese, and fry the bacon last night. Easy-peezy to put it together when I got home. (Yay me!)

Gosh I'm glad my boarders both like quiche.

a big bowl of ham beans that crack paddy gave me and a big hunk of cocnut creme pie . i dont know if edna ate her pie or not . shes not very coherant these days . the bowl of pie is missing but so is her short term memory . ill just take her some more .. somebody at the " waters " had pie , that much is evident . she enjoys giving things away more than keeping them for herself so sometimes i give her things to give away .

i stay plum away from artichokes and ebelskivers . they just sound like the chernoble aftermath of foodstuffs. doesnt a big assed coconut creme pie sound more enticing ?
i made one from scratch tonight and im pretty pleased with it . edna likes em and i dont want to burn her out on apple crisp

Think I'm going to do soup and chef's salads tonight. I have *got* to get back in the swing of things here...haven't cooked more than 1 decent meal since we got back from our "vacation", and it's throwing everything out of whack. Need to start back to doing meal prep on the weekends, too.

I do a warm or cold delicious rotini pasta salad with Costco pesto artichoke hearts n black olives....sometimes fresh tomato chunks n scallions chopped on spinach is delish!

I've discovered that Costco has a nice price on a large jar of artichoke hearts and I'm on the lookout for recipes to use them in. Have several so far, and now I have another! Thanks Boni.

Boni, as in canned artichoke hearts?

I've been experimenting. I make these stuffed artichokes with lots of butter, bread,crumbs eggs and cheese. Not exactly diet friendly.

Tonight I layered artichoke hearts lightly marinated with a touch of oo, garlic, lemon juice, parsley and pepper, sprinkled it with the good shredded Romano/Parm, and baked it. It was great! It was like the best of the stuffed artichokes, without the hour prep and hour cook time and the mess! Definitely a keeper.

I guess we had brinner last night -- flax/multi-grain pancakes with blueberries, ham steaks with sauteed mushrooms, and a fruit cup. And by some people's reckoning, we had brinner the night before, too -- a wonderful quiche with ham, Jarlsberg cheese, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and orange sweet peppers.

I don't see any reason that certain foods should be only for breakfast. :)

Right under this email came the recipe of the day. "Slow cooker black bean and corn enchilada" too late for tonight but how about tomorrow?

SusanA43 I feel your pain. The other day I almost spent $100 on ordering pizza because I was exhausted. Yes I said $100 because Scandinavia is cruel like that.

im going up to my sons house today . i love cooking in the kitchen with him but his GF is a vegan and when people start custom ordering dinner i get a little annoyed . there are a few food items i dont care for but if someone goes to the trouble to prepare it for me i can guarantee you ill eat it .
ive been making ground venison and egg noodles around here for a week . the egg noodles have been in the freezer for a year and im glad to get them used up so they dont go to waste .
i love cole creamy slaw jeanne ..
some danged animal ripped one of my new cherry tree whips out of the ground and took off with it . i replaced it with a whip from one of the apple trees in town that were so heavily loaded with big baking apples this year . if the whip takes off ill probably have to graft it from the host tree . i dont think root sprouts are oriented until theyre grafted . all my other fruit trees are 7 yrs old and beginning to produce fruit .
