Welp did the drive today with snowblower 2+ hrs feel ok a bit wore out but hey another + in my book, see ifin I pay for it tomorrow ![]()
Wife even made me Jerry snacks Homemade cheese its ![]()
Yo! I was thinking about some homemade cheezits yesterday. I’ve only tried making crackers once. It didn’t really turn out though.
Wife makes them Cheese it’s, pretzels, and when feeling it she makes deep fried bread (dough gobs) here cut a pocket in them and shove butter, sugar and cinnamon in the middle they are damn good @NewGrower31
I make a mean soft pretzel, that I’ve pulled of multiple times. I’ve also done the fired dough which is always a winner. I haven’t made very many things like that lately though
Wife make alot of things, but cookies and cake are her fail, she can not get it, I do the cookies, do not go out of my way for cake, give me a damn pie, Keylime, lemon, Pecan, or a good chocolate pudding pie, we share the cooking but that said she likes my food better, making a pot of Venison stew tomorrow.
We had a pot of “butt stew” on the wood stove yesterday. Boston butt smoked to perfection, hand pulled in a big ole pot of veggies from the fall harvest.
The previous cold snap the venison chili was incredible!
How’s things for ya?
Up date on my health and surgery, U of M finally sent records up here to my Primary, went and saw her yesterday the examine was
, sent me back this am and had a MRI and blood work done, will get those results tomorrow, then set me up a appt at Oncology dept then Neurologist for keeping tabs on the stroke remnants. Moving forward 4 more monthly checks then 2- 3 months checks then 6 month checks for next 5 yrs. Weehaa I may have conquered this. ![]()
Doing well @1LuckyMF just getting back to normal now or closer hehehehe. Never been real normal.
Yes we hit the cold weather so its soups stews and chili for a bit. ![]()
Apparently I’ve missed a lot!! ![]()
Sounds like your headed in the right direction, I can’t imagine the ride you’ve been on.
I haven’t eaten much venison. A couple times I think as sausage/jerky deal.
I’m not as big into pies, I like cakes but don’t really make em. Me and her both do pretty good cookies. But just the classic chocolate chip mostly.
Do you hunt? That’s something I’ve never done. I feel like I could probably shoot a deer but my wife would probably have to gut and butcher it, that’s our arrangement if we we’re ever in that situation lol.
@1LuckyMF yes had a kidney removed in Nov, and between time of finding out it needed gone and surgery had a small stroke been a hella ride since Sept as they say " Getting old aint for sissies" but getting back to life now started working couple days aweek now.
Venison is awesome, especially the back strap. I cut mine in squares and bread and fry it @NewGrower31
Did u ever get me on ig. I seen it cool cool
Backstraps always a treat, 2 more packs here then gone till Oct, no hunting last season so it looks like fish to supplement we going to try this weekend for some Trout.
Dang… I reckon not.
Respect brother.
Thank you @1LuckyMF appreciated ![]()
Glad to read your check up and everything going well. Hopefully things fly back to normal for you and family.
