Deer and more deer and beer

Pat got his first deer this year while hunting with his dad and uncle. Now we are trying to figure out what to do with all this meat. We roasted a loin, used it in stroganoff and now meatballs.

We borrowed my parents meat grinder and went to town. I feel a little like Bubba Blue from Forrest Gump...

"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it."

Pat assured me that he cleaned the area before he set up his grinding area...but seeing the cans of paint make be question. We now have many pounds of homemade meatballs!

Heike sent Pat a birthday present. It took a while to get here but it made it all in one piece.

 Thanks Heike for the cool beer, candy and glass. He always loves to try new beers!
