Seasoned the sirloin with garlic salt and msg. Once cooked, i'll sear in cast iron with some beef oil.

i got 5lbs of deer thawing out to do a test batch of snack sticks. havent done them in my new dehydrator yet only my flat jerky.

i got probably 30lbs+ of ground, 2 massive backstraps (best cut), 2 good size tenderloins, then the shoulders, rumps, and some chunks for jerky.

i freeze the big hunks, slightly thaw, then use my deli slicer for even cuts. then marinate for 24hrs giver or take.

sadly, the ground didnt thaw as fast as i wanted last night and i didnt want to start marinading at 2am......so i'll start it when i get home.

If you need a taste tester, I am more than happy to sacrifice... I mean taste some venison.

I need to start hunting. Never gone, but the obvious benefits intrigue me.

lol you're a bit far but i think i could mail some. maybe when i do a batch of my flat ill do some that'll burn your insides worse than EW's on a normal day lol

see what you can handle.

think im gonna thaw out a backstrap for saturday. will have family in. thinking i'll split it in half. do half simple olive oil salt pepper. and the other half i'll let it soak in a mix overnight.

i will admit that a deer backstrap will blow away most filet mignon. fact.

it's fun but cold if you do rifle season since opening day (in western PA) is Monday after thanksgiving.

i do want to get into archery just so i don't freeze my balls off anymore.

also, hunting license is like $30 i think and doe tags are $6? each just in case you dont see a legal buck and want meat.

so that is all it costs (if you butcher your own deer) to have a good bit of good lean meat.

i usually butcher my own with my cousin who is amazing at it. he was not available this year so i paid $90 and did zero work minus the gut and drag lol

i'd post a pic of mine but being open thread i wouldn't want to offend passing snowflakes.

annnnnnnnnnnd my favorite ridiculous news headline of the month is........


"Alabama police department blames Satan for spike in homicides"


:facepalm:

That's something I expect to see on The Onion.

Thats like if StevenSlice and Hotrod's cars had a baby.

Garlic salt is the bomb! My roasted chicken is just rubbed in light olive oil, and garlic salt. Chrispy salty garlicy skin, yum..

NBC news actually.

also the headline i posted was already pulled down i guess.

He's adorable.

He's in his 120th trimester! Large for his age, a bit gassy, but otherwise a good boy.

So there was this consultant who weaseled me out of one of my clients. One year later, that client sued the consultant, I was the expert witness, and the consultant lost.
This said consultant weaseled me out of another client. The client told me he LOVED the dude, he was great, knew his stuff..etc etc etc... Just found out yesterday, that client is now also suing that consultant..lol

lol
