As I'd feared, once the semester took hold, updating this blog fell by the wayside. As of last Friday, the fall semester was officially over for me and one thing to share about this past fall is that Owen got his hunting license, some gear, and went out for two weekends with our friend Ethan during the season. I honestly didn't have incredibly high hopes of ending up with any venison, but they proved me wrong...bringing home a small doe (about the size of a big dog) the first weekend and a 5 point buck (much bigger) the next. Owen field dressed each on site (autopsy skills coming in handy) and then they brought it to one of the many local farmers who make some extra cash during deer hunting season by processing your deer. One thing's for sure, we'll be eating venison through the spring...
Our Freezer:
Not really room for anything else at the moment...
Defrosted ground venisonSome ways we've enjoyed our deer so far....
Venison meatballs
Served over pasta with a red wine and pan juices cream sauce
Venison breakfast patties
Annie's Mac and Cheese with brussels sprouts, ground vension, and bacon...
Marinating some venison steaks (from the doe...so these are the smallest steaks we have)
Grilled venison steaks, potato-turnip gratin, and spinach salad. Neither of us finished our steaks, but they will make great steak sandwiches in a couple of days...
