I'm closer than you think. Don't you realize that once you hit 50 you start counting backwards by one every year!

No, I don't think I like that 37 wasn't one of my better years. We need a better algorithm.

You work on that, I liked 42, I think, can't remember, getting too old...

I like the backwards count. That would make me 20 yrs old , YAHOO !!

Pizza night, needed some warmth in the kitchen, so fired up the oven with the two stones in it. Made three, image of my "fat boy" anchovy pizza. Crust turned out really well for making this afternoon. Yum!

Made a small batch of Italian comfort food today. This really goes great in the Fall weather with a good cheese, Italian bread and, of course, a good red wine. It is Broccoli Rabe, cannelloni beans and turkey sausage. Lots of protein and low fat and carbs.

These are so hard to find in the US. I finally found someone on Etsy from Mexico who could ship me an authentic metate y mano. Now I can make proper tortillas!

Forgot to post this the other night. Not too fancy, but chicken soup is always delicious when it's homemade.

You should try smoking a whole chicken, then boil the carcus to make stock and make the chicken soup out of that. Chicken salad or of the chicken is amazing, also.

Peas with tarragon and butter; escarole with garlic, EVOO, and sherry; and shrimp scampi, after a fashion, with Gulf shrimp from @jamesngalveston's old company, garlic, red pepper, ho-made preserved lemons, white wine, lemon juice, Castelvetrano olives, parsley, Parmigiano-Reggiano, served over angel hair.

I've never been able to make it through a whole chicken. I get semi-wasted and hacking by the time I get to the thighs.

That's what started this whole batch of soup (although this one was done on the gas grill).

Soon to be dinner. A fellow church member has a husband and son that are really good hunters. I said I'd take a "little" venison burger (also known as Bambi burger) to make some sausages (also known as snausages). Guess I'm gonna be making a lot of sausage, the container weighed in at 15.6 lbs, I'm guessing 14.5 lbs of ground venison.

I think I need some more casings ...

You gotta build up tolerance to that. You start with just a thigh and leg, then add a half chicken, then get up to a full one. It's just like winemaking, takes patience, but the result are worth it.

First try at peasant bread- easiest bread I ever made. Great for toast and sandwiches. Recipe from King Arthur Flour.

Your also gonna need about 15lbs of pork butt to mix in with it. Trust me on that. Not enough fat in the deer meat to make a decent sausage!
