Wild Game Feast
Thank you Mark and Lois Ann for the salmon you brought down this summer. Since we have many friends that are hunters and fishermen we decided to host a Wild Game Feast. The only stipulation when I sent out the invites was that the guests had to like wild game as we wouldn't be serving another meat. We feasted on salmon, catfish, one dish with venison, duck and pheasant cooked together, wild rice and pheasant dish, rice with beans, coleslaw, tossed salad and dessert. We enjoyed the company especially because we had never been with this particular group altogether before. Two of the couples are rather new to our church. We laughed all night with the stories our friends told!

I'm impressed! Where did you get all the wild game from? Somehow I don't picture you or Ralph spending too much time in a blind in the woods. . .much less hours in a boat. I remember Mom telling about an early "date" with Jon where he took her fishing. She sat in a boat for hours and hours under a blistering hot sun. The only enjoyable part of it for her was how good it felt when it was done.
Mmmm, venison, duck and pheasant cooked together sounds good.
We've had quite a bit of venison this past few months. Someone gave us a bunch, then one day someone hit a deer with their car on our road. We took it home and butchered it! Then someone hunted on our land this year, got a deer, and gave us a couple big rolls of sausage.
We made a venison stroganoff that wasn't so good, but then made a venison stew that was really good.
My recollection of venison growing up was the unpleasant tallow. We haven't noticed that at all.
Can't remember the last time I've had pheasant...
Dean, I had the same recollection of venison. I remember the tallow on the roof of my mouth! Ken Pieh hunts a lot and more recently a month ago or so with another friend in S. Dakota. They got both pheasant and duck this fall. I suggested to Ken and Barb that they might as well clean out their venison from last year prior to the deer from this year. She tho't it was a great idea. (At the same time she found food that Ken had put in the freezer from another friends' freezer.) Barb was in Africa during that storm so didn't know about that food! Many of us at church had power out for up to a week with the summer storm we had. No, we aren't hunters but Ralph went fishing for the first time in several years (he wants to prepare for retirement!)
