calfoxwc Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 My new "instant" sloppy joe for this football season: 1 lb of hamburger, well browned. take grease out. 1 can of Manwich Bold several blurbs of Hunt's catsup. It's great. and, the age-old recipe - 2 packages of Jimmy Dean sage sausage well browned, take out grease. add a bowl of chopped up green tomatoes and another bowl of chopped up sweet peppers, add one hot pepper maybe... salt/pepper to taste. saute. Makes a great sausage "sloppy joe" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I do have a pair of really fat dove that show up too and come Sept. 1, the season is on. Soak 'em overnight in 1/2 buttermilk & 1/2 red wine, pin bacon around the breast meat and fire up the grill. Yum! And I bet that would work well on the little rodent critters too.🕊️🔥🐿️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you she has written up some really excellent stuff that she shared only with immediate family. Everything from desserts thru veggies and everything in between. Great job she did of collecting over about 4 decades and then put into print for us. Wonderful flavors throughout. And like any really good cookbook, we have to really shop in exotic places sometimes to find the exact ingredients. Anyone like my Vietnamese Dog recipe (other than Cal-he'll eat anything that walks or crawls).😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deer gun season will run from Nov. 26 to Dec. 2 and Dec. 15-16.May 19, 2018 I spend a lot of time in the woods, we don't allow hunting. I've had a couple of neighbors ask permission during archery season, to got on our land and get a deer that kept running for another 20 yards or so. I respect them - said "sure". They brought a nice tray of venison and venison gravy. If one day we need food, that would be great dinners. Squirrel - I grew up hunting squirrel and pheasant. Ah, pheasant is outstanding - but they froze out in the blizzard in...76 and 78? I'd love to go wild turkey hunting someday. and wild boar. Always wondered how good the bacon would be.

I have seen turkey here in RMNP on this visit to Colorado. Last year I saw a flock of about 5-6 crossing the road on the way up to Bear Lake. When I lived in Kansas (during Dodge City days?LOL) I went pheasant hunting with a friend and then later duck hunting. Those pheasant are so sneaky it's hard to spot them even between the rows of harvested wheat until they pop up and fly. Great tasting for sure. Squirrel truthfully I have never hunted or eaten. When I was a kid I found a baby squirrel that had fallen from the nest with a broken leg. I nursed it back to health using milk and an eye dropper until it was fully grown & healed. It would run up and down my arms and back and jump from kid to kid. Then it started staying out in the trees for hours before coming "home" and then overnight, until finally a few days at a time. I think he found a girlfriend and went wild because he disappeared for months. Then one day I spotted one outside, brought some pecans in my hand and sat down calling his name. He slowly and carefully came up and took them one by one until he had his fill and went back up his tree. Never saw him again, but I know that was him. So I just don't hunt 'em or eat 'em. Too many fond memories of my "little fella". BTW how do you and I wrangle licenses for "youth deer gun season"? 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them a couple of times on my bike rides south of Dayton. Regarding shooting 'em- a .22 with a scope is a nice quiet solution. (Regarding a .22, I have a story about that one later.) One thing that we've done too good a job of is restoring the Canadian goose population. Back in the late 50s and early 60s- they were rare. Now, there's bike paths along our Great Miami River I won't use- unless there's been a heavy rain to wash away the unavoidable one per square foot crap the flying poop machines have deposited. They won't even get out of my way 1\2 the time. (I've debated with my wife what would happen if I deliberately hit one with my bike) My brother and I used to have a standing joke about "the quality goose gun", an over\under 10 gauge magnum shotgun. I swear, sometimes they're so thick, I bet I could nail 5-6 of 'em with one pull of the trigger. As far as small wild game, I've pretty much tried it all (except goose), and don't much like it. Pheasant is tolerable, but just no to rabbit, squirrel, and duck (yuck). Venison isn't high on my list either. I decided if I'm not going to eat it, I'm not going to kill it. Getting back to my story of the last critter I shot. My pal used to have a farm down near the Ohio River in Indiana with no closed season and no daily bag limit. Went down there with Grandpa's .22 Browning semi-auto that I had just put a 9X 'scope on and I was going to sight it in. Went out back, set a bunch of cans on top of a fence, backed off 100 feet, and was going to plink them off. Just getting ready to shoot- I can't freaking believe it. A quail decides to land on the fence. Ready, aim, fire. Guess I'm sighted in OK. Had Quentin the Quail for Thanksgiving dinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I would love to try quail. Wildlife - depends on how you process some of this stuff. Everybody has their own tastes. Froglegs are also really good, like squirrel. I hear Canadian goose is good, but you have to brine it overnight, something like that. Never tried duck. I really, really want to try rattlesnake. My cousin was in special forces in laos and cambodia. One day, back in the 80's...Dad and I went down to WV to my uncle's funeral. Their homeplace was 250 acres - you can see the skyline drive from their back porch. I tried to get my cousin to with me - but he wouldn't go rattlesnake hunting with me at night, up on the mountain. picky, picky, picky. So I didn't go, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! When I was 15 I got bit on the toe by a copperhead. I should have thought to have my siblings fry him up for me after they killed him. Well I think it was them. I suppose he could have died from biting such a venomous bastard, even when I was young.😜 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Try something different lately? I did, saw there you can order a delivered PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA online and if you enter 25DISC in the PROMO CODE you get 25% off your entire order.....on your Discover Card. A few weeks ago, got 8 wings (tiny) large thin crust pizza (lousy) and chocolate chip cookies (not bad), a $3.00 delivery charge NOT THE TIP, plus tip about $30. You can track your pizza entirely online, from order/cook/box/out for delivery. Not a good pizza. Well I just tried a deep dish large (I measured it, it was 12" not really large), $19.99 delivered with tip.....it was awful!! Not cooked right, soggy, half is still in the frig. Live and learn, never again, NOT GAMEDAY FOOD. I'm sticking with WEDGEWOOD PIZZA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
