Thanks every one! It appears that a lot of people ask the butcher to make stew meat or roasts with what is available and grind the rest? My main concern is that the roasts might be gamey, but I've never cooked with venison... so I'd love some ideas and preferences if possible as well! My only...
DH is going deer hunting for the weekend, and hopefully coming home with a deer. This will be a first for us and we'll have a butcher do the work, I just don't know what to do with the meat besides sausage and jerky! I'd love some tips from experienced venison eaters please!! I'm hoping to find...
Today was chorizo and eggs with tortillas for breakfast, then had to uses up some alomost stale home made bread, so I made french toast for the kids for lunch (peanut butter and syrup on the french toast is amazing!) I have to say having chickens is awesome... tonight will either be chicken and...
I'm going to make salsa and mustard today, maybe some of free's salad dressing mix too! for the salsa, I'm going to add som cucumber along with the tomatoes to see how it turns out!
Also, does anyone know what other leaves I could use to submerg my veggies? I don't have any grape leaves nearby...
Sounds terrible doesn't it? :D I haven't tried it yet, but supposedly it tastes like gummy worms! I would love the opportunity to get my kids to eat more veggies! I got the recipe for both the candy and onion jam from here:

the candy is in august 2010, and...
Today is home butchered chicken with home canned caramelized onion jam for a glaze, home grown green beans and new potatoes, and fresh baked bread the house already smells great! I'm also canning grape juice today and going to try and make zucchini candy if I have the time. Busy day!! :D
Lol, Chefs fee, I like that!
Pureed white bean soup, with garlic, rosemary, thyme, onions and carrots from the garden, topped with crispy bacon peices and a drizzle of white truffle oil... fresh home baked bread on the side. I should have saved some of the beans to plant... oh well.
Oh, and...
I found this recipe on BYC a while back, luckily I copied it to my recipies to try folder because I can't find the thread it was in. I think it was closed... :( It's for quail eggs, but I'm sure you can substitute chicken if you want!!

Last night it was bread, mayo and sauerkraut. MMM!! gotta love BLT's with home made bread and mayo, and home grown tomatoes! Now to convince DH I need a couple of pigs for bacon! :lau
One thing that helped me when I had a bad craving was to take the deepest breath I possibly could, filling my lungs until they felt like they would burst, hold the breath for a little bit and then blow out slowly as you would when smoking... Hope that made sense! Another thing, tell someone when...
So happy you did!! :D dh liked it, but then I tried to explain the benifits of fermented foods, and after that I noticed he scraped the peppers (I call it salsa) that he "loved" to the side... ONLY after I explained how good it was for him... :lau :gig
I'll have to be more sneaky next time...
So I put all the peppers into 3 quart jars, covered with grape leaves to keep the peppers under the brine...
I made two zucchini foccocia breads, one for us the other for our neighbors... We already went through half of one of the jars!!! Just couldn't help it and dug right in, went GREAT on...
Ok all you experts... I have a few questions that I hope you're willing to answer!! :D
I have finely diced hot peppers fermenting as well as sliced cucumbers in a dill garlic pepper brine... for one day now... the pickles look great, I skimmed the thick bubbles off the top and they look and...
