What was your most self-sufficient meal?

[enjoy the ride]

I was thinking that some uplifting is needed. And one of the most uplifting things I can remember was making a meal with almost only things I raised myself.
I had a goat stew with vegetables I raised myself. The only outside ingredients were salt and pepper and the oil used to fry the meat. It had meat, onions, garlic, summer squash, tomatoes, thyme - and was wonderful.

So what was your most self-suffinient meal?

Mine is probably Ruffed Grouse (shot) with Jalepeno Hot sauce (homemade) wrapped in bacon. ("our" pig)

How lonf does it take you to collect eggs from 700 chickens?

Whoa--who has 700 chickens?!? I was feeling a bit commercial myself on BYC with my 125

Today we had red potatoes from the garden with hamburger gravy made from my husband's venison, our garden onions, a pile of garden green beans and homemade sun tea with a sprig of homegrown choc. mint. Yum!

CEF does.

Wouldn't that be a beautiful pile of colored eggs? I'm dreaming of from-scratch angel food cake, quiches, omelets, deviled eggs...

OMG Y'all stop. My oven is broken!

I made something like eggplant Parmesan tonight. It had a lot of home grown ingredients: the eggplant, basil, parsley, tomatoes, peppers. The cheese, of course, was imported from walmart. LOL

I couldn't really pick one! It would be easier to list our meals that weren't self-sufficient....

As for favorite...I guess any meals that are made from scratch, from things we grew or hunted, are my favorites!
