Yes, my favourite brunch is pan-fried deer tenderloins with eggs done in the pan juices. These little elk steaks were fabulous with those nice runny eggs! 😁

So my wife was away last evening and I thawed a package of elk steaks my buddy had brought from BC. No sense sharing elk if I don't have to! I have never butchered an elk, so did not recognize the cut. For sure the small steaks were cut from a larger piece, and my guess is bottom round. Anyways, elk really should be eaten no more cooked than medium rare, and it goes from rare to medium in a heartbeat. Difficult to achieve on the BBQ, even with indirect heat, so I pan-fried them, and even took PICTURES!!! That orange stuff on the plate is a vegetable.

I have heard about this for years but never seen any. Where does one find dry ice? Doug

That would get a bit warm, I think they are powered by a butane flame. 😲 But a Thermarest is a good piece of kit. The long version, that fits your whole body, not the short one! 😉 Doug

It's that time of year............

Absolutely

as suspected. I have seen this before with walleye and perch. Doug

and how's the fishing? Doug

Bait. Use them with teaser heads and flashers. 😉

They seem to be quite a pale colour, and I think I recall some summer pictures you posted, same thing. Is it my eyes, or are those walleye a paler colour than elsewhere? Doug

Tonight's supper was bacon-wrapped halibut chunks, oven-sauteed wild leeks, and fries. It was fairly toothsome. But I am not much of a picture-taker when it comes to food. My wife thinks taking a picture of a meal is downright BIZARRE. (Yes, we are not exactly millenials...) 😉 Hey SINKER! Better haul your butt down here while I still have a piece of halibut for you! Doug

It was after consuming some electric jello aka vodka shooters, so that is a lot like being tazered I think...............😁

OK I got the youngster beat in the beard department, but his hair takes first prize. 😉 Crazy weather down here too. I ran a crappie fishing camp for some buddies a couple weeks ago, and daytime temps were in the mid-30s C. I was back out on Tuesday, temp at the launch was plus 5. The crappies don't know what hit them......... Doug

too much GREEN!

You said it much more politely than I was thinking...........

I hear it is BONEhead these days, because the price of meat is too high........................😉

Looks delicious. Tonight here it was pan-fried fresh-caught crappies, yum yum!

It was early June I was thinking of, but yes late June you will be swarmed by mosquitoes at sunset I am sure....

Bring your bug juice! 😉

Fabulous! It has been decades since I had a feed of fresh smelts on the beach where they were caught. I am not sure if it is the passage of time, or the beverages consumed during the activities, that make the memories a bit hazy though.......... Thanks for the report! Doug

shaped like a sheep? (asking for a friend) 😁

Very interesting indeed, that they are so deep. I imagine you must catch the odd walleye when perch fishing? That would be a bonus! (assuming walleye are open)

There are some real hawgs there! Do you guys jig for them, or fish minnows, or ??? Doug

Good to hear. Hope you enjoy yourselves! Doug

and the crappies are not on either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😐
