And we have venison!

Apparently the husband and his family have killed more deer than in recent years. Apparently the back of his truck was a bloody mess. I'm sure there will be pictures to post soon... yippee... I'm sure everyone is looking forward to seeing that!

On the upside, we will have enough ground venison and sausage to last us through next year. That much, I love!

Oh dear! No deer.... yet!

The distinct advantage of marrying a hunter is that you are likely to have lots of meat around. Now I'll admit that venison tastes different than beef and in some cases I still want beef. For instance when I want a nice big juicy steak, I want beef. Almost everything else I prefer venison. I will argue with anyone that ground venison (which is mixed with a little beef) is much better than straight ground beef. The venison sausage is awesome as well as the jerky we get. Oh and the venison tamales... the best I've ever had and I grew up in a town where I could get good authentic tamales too.

So far this year, we have no venison! The husband didn't go to Arkansas during Thanksgiving this year. He has been hunting but the lease that he is on doesn't seem to have that many deer. The husband is in Arkansas right now and they are doing some game management for some land owners. They can almost kill as many doe as they want and as my hunter says, "You can't eat the horns!" Today they saw no doe (or legal bucks for that matter). Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I don't wanna buy meat this year!!

Kill a bunch of doe for me honey! I'm behind you!!

My new life!

Life has changed a lot for me in the last two years. All for the better I must say. New job, new relationship that has become my new marriage... with that new marriage I got two daughters and a grandson who calls me "Mimi" (I'm too young to be Granny!) I will try to post as much as possible but I can't say that I was all that reliable with my other blog... This is meant to be a continuation of that one (http://360.yahoo.com/battewoman). New life... new blog!
