back to dave524, I see your .218 Bee avatar. I have two rifles in that chambering................. Doug

PS) Speaking of FISH and FISHING, tonight's supper will be pan-fried bluegill fillets, Basmati rice and as-yet-to-be-determined-veggie-that-will-make-the-meal-complete-for-wifie As we all know, the best vegetable is MEAT. Or, stated differently, vegetables are what food eats. Maybe I will send her to forage in the garden for a tomato or something........... SAY!!! Soya sauce is made from soybeans, and they are a vegetable, I shall serve soya sauce with the rice. The yin and the yan are just about perfect I reckon. Doug

Well Mike I am officially old and I am not dead yet. Only the good die young............ Doug

Moosebunk steered me to this site, but there was a slight detour. He said the site name was O-F-N-C. But when I looked that up, I got the Overseas Federation of Nigerian Christians, who I suppose might have little fish symbols on their cars or that <<<<))))))))))))))))))))<<<< thing in their sig line, but they did not appear to have much to do with fishing. So he sent me a link and I joined up. Funny thing is, I have read more posts on here about food and recipes than I have on fish and fishing............ Doug

Your laptop is amazing and hearty???

Hmmm, my picture shows up for me, does it not show up for everybody else? I could e-mail it to m2b2, clearly he can post pictures............???????????? Doug

back to Brian B, yes my buddy Einrich is a hell of a fine fellow. But don't believe anything he tells you about me, OK? Doug

back to Brian, is it Einrich aka fisherman on here? Doug

OK, dear wife was outside hanging laundry and I snuck a photo of supper..........................SHHHHH!!!! Don't tell her!!!!! Doug

back to Brian, if I ever get down your way again I would be pleased to bring you some. It would be a small token of my esteem for that video about bacon weaving (which I have yet to try, but am confident I can do now!) Doug

I wish I had hired you to build my hunt camp............................. .................which started construction in the spring of 2014 and is still not quite done.................

Venison stew tonight - started with about four pounds of venison so it was good MEATY stew. Wife is on the phone so maybe I can sneak back upstairs and take a photo without her asking me what the hell I am doing taking pictures of the food again.... Doug

Holy smackers man, you work faster than most full construction crews!!!!! Doug

Ham, scalloped potatoes and fresh green beans tonight. No pictures, wife is here.......... I soaked the ham overnight in about a gallon of water, discarded that water, then did it in the slow cooker with a beer and about a quart or two of fresh water. The ham was not nearly as salty as usual, and was quite delectable. I am not sure if the quality control three or four slices constitutes a serving or not - but if yes, then I had four servings. <<<<<BURP>>>>>>> Doug

Mike, I read this report a few days ago on your website and sent it to a bunch of buddies. Before I read it, I had TWO things on my bucket list. Now I have THREE. And I fished Great Slave Lake last year with multiple lakers over twenty pounds and a PB at 32............now I think I was just whetting my appetite for Kasba Lodge! (And I read your Medhurst report on your website too, sounds great) Best regards, Doug

Is this on Great Slave Lake? BEAUTY project! Robaxacet is better than Advil for back pain, trust me on this.............. Doug

I have been away a LOT lately, back home now and catching up........... Brian, THANKS for that video! The saran wrap is a great idea, a lot better than aluminum foil which I have used to make a rolled meatloaf. THANKS for taking the time to do that! Doug

back to Brian, yes indeed a bacon-wrapped venison roast is very tasty indeed. I don't think I would do that with a top round roast, however. I did that one in the oven with some red wine and diced Vidalia onions, took it out when the meat thermometer read about 130 degrees, and let it sit for a bit in some aluminum foil. It was perfectly rare, juicy and tender, just the way I like it. Doug

OK, I am back on about page four I think................

Yes indeed, a how-to-lace up the bacon tutorial would be welcome!!! Any time I have wrapped something in bacon it involved toothpicks. LOTS of toothpicks. Tonight's menu is venison top round roast, my favourite of the deer roasts. But you won't be seeing any pictures, given that my good wife will be joining me for dinner and she still finds it highly unusual that people would take pictures of their meals and post it (on a FISHING website) for others to see.................. But please bring on the bacon basket weave instructions! Doug

The simplest marinade for pork is Italian salad dressing. That's it. Doug

back to bigugli...............fire in your belly and other parts of the anatomy................ Doug

back to ketchenany, you grow your own wheat for the bread? Man, that is hard-core! Doug

Now THERE is a manly dish! MEAT covered with BACON!!! Bring it on!!!! I do not recognize the cooking source - it is a smoker/BBQ and does it have a top? How, exactly, was the loin cooked? This one intrigues me............... Doug

I have heard that cooler idea before, but I do not like the idea of pouring boiling water into plastic and then eating anything that has been cooked in what is then a plastic pot. It just strikes me as a bad idea, no matter how tasty it might be.............(says the guy who eats road kill and other stuff.............)
