Big Guy

I'm in awe. How do you possibly get through all that you produce? Mind, I guess you'll never be short of friends! :lol:

Looking at your avatar, Big Guy, you must be a sausage loving mason....

that's kind of what I was hinting at.
Maybe we should start a "Brethren's Bacon" section?

I think I'm going to cry.

Big Guy yet again hits us with an idea on what to make next out of our venison bounty, just 2 hours after I found out that the electricity at the ranch went out for some period of time some weeks ago. How do I know the electricity was out?

Well, since the county that the ranch is in is the size of the state of New Hampshire, with a population of 4,600 souls, providence would have to be involved. The propane distributor made his quarterly check of the tank. Something smelled odd to him coming out of the 2,000 square foot ranch house. Something similar to the smell of a deceased rancher, in full decomposition, and he would know, as he found the old owner in 1975 in the same manner.

So, the Sheriff of the county calls me. Wants to know if anyone has been staying there ( we are 330 miles away in Houston). So, no , no one is supposed to be there. He wants to know if we could possibly have some "illegal aliens" from south of the Texas border who could have snuck into the house. "How the "eff" do I know", I say.

"So", he asks, "can we enter the house and look around"? "Yes", I say. "Do you know that if we find something inside you will possibly have to account for where you have been hourly for the last two weeks" he asks?

To make a short story long, being arrested subject to investigation would have been the second worst thing that could ever happen to me in my life. As luck would have it, the first worst thing happened.

The freezer died in the blackout. Over 400 pounds of venison from 4 different kinds of animals, sausages, snack sticks, duck breasts, burger meat, shrimp and, most sadly, roasted cheese and crab stuffed breaded and ready to fry jalapenos were lost in one, big stinky mess.

The sheriff offered to buy an enchilada dinner on Wednesday after I get there and through all the crap out!

Noooooo - what can I say Vinner - that's tragic. Will your insurance cover the financial loss? (I know that nothing can compensate for all the hard work).

Thanks for the sentiments, Phil. No, the insurance contract we have at the ranch will not cover the loss. I will restock via bow, bullets and bucks ( a slang for money here) over the next few months.

In the meantime, iIwill be relegated to satisfying the family's ever strengthening urges for the best of the home grown, home cooked foods with Phil's soft rolls stuffed with other foodstuffs.

Not such a bad trade-off, after all!

What a catastrophy, when you go to the trouble to process your own game and stock your freezer you come to rely on that bounty . To have it wiped out is just cruel. Come up north and I'll give you a fix of venison pastrami, snack sticks, landjaeger ( just starting a new batch today) steaks and roasts, and the ever present jerky.

Thanks anyway, Big Guy, but I'll be able to stock up on Axis and wild boar this week (I'm going tomorrow), as there is no hunting season on those. Wait, check the wild boar. I think I'll wait until the temperature is well below 100 degrees for that. I'm just hoping to salvage the freezer, but if it smells that bad.......

We are heading north to escape the heat next week, but the "other side". Going to B.C. and Seattle.

Thanks again. Isn't great to know how to restock the freezer with prepared goods, though?
