Thanks Doug. The butcher wrap wasn't labeled and even the guy giving it me said he thought it was a steak. I was unsure. I am however sure I'd like more. Best of luck in your quest.

Fry the witch with one of her clean and green windmills!

Elk! It's what's for dinner. I'm not talking about those commercially farmed elk either. At a fishing club meeting Monday night a friend surprised me with a big chop/steak (?) of his first Ontario shot elk from the Bancroft area. I'm looking forward to my first ever taste of elk. .....and..... Wow, an exceptionally tasty piece of meat. Got the pan hot with butter and a splash of olive oil, onion and fresh garlic. Once the butter was flavoured with the onion and garlic I removed it and set it aside. Seared the steak for about a minute a side, then reduced heat a little and cooked for another minute thirthy a side. Placed onions and garlic back over the steak and covered to rest for a few minutes. Plated a baked potato topped with grated old cheddar and some caramelized carrots and then added the meat. Yum! I'm almost full.

When we and business move out of the province where will the funding come from? Hate this government!

Oh yaaaaaa...... Never grows old! Unlike Misfish.....

Sweeeeeeet!

Sure, I decide to go have a look and I'm reminded of this tragic day.....

Thanks for the update Netminder.

Thanks Tom. I hadn't included it as it's not completely finished yet. But I agree it is a beauty.

This one Tom?

Thanks again all.

You Sir are a weirdo!

Thanks guys.

Now to spend a week unpacking so I can get back to making salsa! Only one dedicated fishing room.

I love making beautiful and functional pieces of work from burls and spalts.

I'll bet that did smell good Brian.

So it would seem, strange.

Why thank you.

You're correct it doesn't nor was it intended to.

If I recall you had the "Oh My," awesome stuff for sure. My in and out have to be treated cautiously with the *Plain Nasty!" My heart and mind are all in......just need to be careful......lol

You got that right Cliff.

The last of my Bigugli's *plain nasty* salsa I acquired at the Hamilton Bassmasters swap is about to git in me belly. I've had it mixed with ground beef over pasta, cheesed up with nachos and atop foot long beef dogs...... All I can say is.....nasty, just "plain nasty," thanks Bruce. I'll be needing more next time we get together.

I'd say we're all winners Rick.

Outstanding Sir! Swiss Chalet has nothing on you, or perhaps even me. The remains of the big Tom is now a large quantity of soup stock. Tossed in some kale stalks, celery stalks, broccoli stems, onion, carrot and assorted spices and herbs. Already smelling marvelous! Now strained and boned and portioned out for the freezer for future enjoyment.
