Great pup pics Gents. Dogs are one of the best parts of life, in my opinion. My dogs are a huge part of my life. Can't imagine not having that kind of joy in my life.

Paradise Valley, NV. Belding squirrel shoot. And I mean shoot. Slow day. Shot about 300 in 4 hours. If someone was handing you loaded mags, on a good day 1000 squirrels. Not exaggerating. People drive 10 or 12 hours to hunt this valley. About 40 miles from my place my buddy has 1000 acre ranch. Alfa...

Thanks for clearing that up my Friend. My thoughts as well. He thanks you for your input on this. He sent me this and I question the sin thing again. He made homemade salsa too. Definitely a room downstairs reserved with free endless skiing on a very warm lake. Just saying. For scale, pictured with ...

Love cast iron cudgee. Use it often. Someone may be about to commit one of the Seven Deadly Sins, I think. I think this is borderline or meets the threshold of gluttony. Is 5 thick pieces of bacon, about 1/2# for one smoked Cordon Bleu Stuffed Chicken Breast too much? Asking for a friend. Want to of...

Well, there is always tomorrow for the chicken and salsa. Phone with good friends, dogs, sunshine and suds.
Did make the smoked mac though.
Makes a ton of mac. Good stuff.
Jerry

cudgee, that chicken looks pretty darn tasty to me. Been cooking more chicken lately. So many ways it can be prepared. All delicious. Gonna make Smoked Bacon Wrapped Chicken Cordon Bleu today. Maybe some smoked mac and cheese and some homemade salsa. Smoking some grub, hanging outside with the dogs,...

You edited my quote to exclude an integral ingredient Chris.

One 12 ounce Modelo Especial.

Interesting.

I hear you cudgee my friend! I agree 100%. I learned that as I recall from a rabbit farmer whom had about 20 thousand rabbits and human history as you stated, nothing without purpose or wasted. The rabbit brains as I recall or some other bunny part were sent to France for use as a culture dish mediu...

This today. Pork jowl bacon burnt ends.

Basically pig face bacon. Never heard of it before.

Sounds tasty and unhealthy. Oh well, will concentrate on former attribute. Sweeter taste from what I am told.

Made pork belly burnt ends before. Phenomenal. Great appetizer on a toothpick.

Great dogs Wullie. A good dog is one focused on you because they value you. Great pics of some loyal pups. Thanks Mark. Hope you and your pack are well. Bear turns two next week, same week I brought him home a year ago. He and Elsa have really connected. Long road but worth it and still work to do. ...

We have stinging nettles in the West but not in Northern Nevada, USA where I am living.

All good Eustace. Just the word "predators " is not a good thing in any country I would assume. I for one would have been interested to see the nettle porridge. If you noticed last dish I posted is all veggies, with chorizo, chicken, rice, etc, like the dish you posted. Granted has bacon b...

Interesting stuff Wade. I don't discriminate against any caliber as well. May choose not to have one. Personal preference. I buy mostly standard, commonly available, military calibers as well (if it hits the fan and is laying around). Hunting rifles are these... .17 HMR .22 LR .243 Winchester .30-06...

Was a good day cudgee. Hope you are well my friend.
Cost of food these days it is more economical to cook at home and way better fare.
Gives me time to knock back a couple beers, play with the dogs, and be outside. No downside and a ton of wins to boot.
Hope you and yours are well.
Take care, Jerry

More goodies today. Some basic chicken thighs, well seasoned and sear skin in broiler to finish off. To temp, and juicy as heck.
Smoked pablanos, rice, chorizo, chicken I just smoked, homemade salsa, Oaxaca Mexican melting cheese, spices and bacon. Reverse seared that as well for crisp bacon.

That looks vibrant, colorful and ingredients sounds pretty tasty. Great dish and ingredients from what I can see. Can you elaborate please on the "because you are predators here" comment? No clue what you mean by that. Maybe I took out of context but just sounds odd on a cooking thread. Ta...

Good choice Ray. Carry the P938 often as primary in town or backup to revolver or another larger frame size/ caliber as a cross draw. Posted my new P938 SAS rig a few pages back. Fiber Tritium Bullseye sights integrated into slide. No sights on slide, dehorned and contoured for carry. 10 yard threat...

Fun gun John. Nice looking rig! Very nice Ken!!! Is that an older one? I think the oldies were produced from 1990' to 1999'. Not sure if they also "revived" this particular snake like they have the other recent production Snakes. Regardless, very nice. Even before I read Ken's post, Dad' o...

Love cats as well. Have a couple. Like dogs and people, all different, all unique. Great mix of your independent friends. Happy Easter to you and yours. Snow here. Bear is happy even though he does not look like it. Elsa snoozing inside for now. She loves the snow as well. Have a great day. Jerry ED...

That's awesome TF! Thanks for sharing! Pumpkin bread rolls in a coffee can. Genius. Tricks of the trade. Love reading about that as I am very passionate about cooking and I am eyeballing baking. Bet the dogs love that mix. Good on you. Lots of hunter just toss that. I made a treat today. Chuck roast...

More pics. Hilarious. He out weighs her by like 55 pounds. Third pic of course is after daily lesson on hierarchy. She is Alpha Queen. He is the jester. As he gets older, he will submit to her, but without the drama, but it is play and establishing roles. it is a new round in his mind, just maybe th...

Elsa and Bear face off play. She (white hair, long tall sheepdog mix) at 75#. Bear at 130#. Bear digs like no tomorrow.

Moderated so he doesn't use his sheer size and weight to overpower her. He tries. She is Alpha, but slight mayhem to figure it out again and again.

What dogs do!

Made this salsa (food processor) yesterday and brought some down to lady at supermarket counter since she helped me get some Mexican cheese and seasoning for some smoked carne asada. She shared with two other Mexican ladies that work there. All told me today, my salsa is better than theirs and they ...

Nice Eustace.

Jerry
