Officially Older Than Dirt
It was my birthday this week. The older I get the less inclined I am to feel the need to throw a big Hoo-Hah to celebrate. However, this year was pretty awesome. My deerslayer surprised me with a great camera (a Nikon D3100). I’ve… Continue Reading “Officially Older Than Dirt”
Venison Parmesan with Fabulous Sauce
This is one of my family’s favorite recipes. It’s elegant enough to serve to company, the sauce can be made up ahead to save time, the meat can even be pounded out a day ahead, as well. When I prepared it this time, my… Continue Reading “Venison Parmesan with Fabulous Sauce”
Perfect Hunting Boots
Not too long ago, I was flipping through some catalogs and found a darlingly rugged pair of boots that would be “perfect for hunting”, which means that I would look very chic (in a rugged sort of way) strolling around the hunting camp, preparing… Continue Reading “Perfect Hunting Boots”
Wild Thing
Wild Pulled Pork Sandwiches Now, you need to know that the sandwiches are not wild, the pork is. The pork is not pulled in a wild way, either. Unless you particularly feel like it. Of course, you probably could make these from grocery store… Continue Reading “Wild Thing”

I bought this awesome cast iron dutch oven with a lid. I’ve been wanting one for quite a while. With deer season in full swing, I was looking forward to trying it out. This recipe pretty much happened by accident. My junior deerslayers and… Continue Reading “Deerslayer’s Venison and Guinness Stew”
The Empty Freezer! Lentil Soup Time
I guess there comes a time in the life of every deerslayer’s wife when she wanders up to the freezer, the bastion of sustenance for her family and gazes upon the vast emptiness in dismay. The question of what to have for dinner is… Continue Reading “The Empty Freezer! Lentil Soup Time”
Goat Cheese, Just Because!
This past weekend, I trekked eight hours up to San Angelo, Texas with one goal in mind; to replenish my supply of goat cheese. I could’ve just ordered some on the internet, but I’d heard that my “goat-cheese lady” had gotten some “new stuff”.… Continue Reading “Goat Cheese, Just Because!”
Am I a Bad Mother?
We have a pretty normal, laid back household. I homeschool my 13 year old daughter. My adult daughter lives at home and is a published writer. Maybe not so normal, but pleasant and productive. So does it mean that I’m a bad mother because… Continue Reading “Am I a Bad Mother?”
